covered from tile consumer. Such a tax, however, is
rather acceptable than otherwise to the large farmer,
for they say it keeps men of little capital from growing
hops and lessens the competition. Whether the malt-tax be
acceptable or not on this ground to agriculturists, as it is
levied, not on the barley-field, but on the maltster's pre-
mises, we cannot see how it falls on agricultural pro-
duce any more then the tax on gin, or on starch, or
on soap, which is made from the fat of British fed stock.
It is a tax on the consumers of beer, and as their . means
of consumption are lessened—as the supply of barley
outruns or falls short of their means, so the tax, like
all taxes, by diminishing the power of consump-
tion, must be injurious to the agriculturist. The
remedy for such an evil is not to tax the
people's bread, which diminishes consumption, nor to
prohibit or tax the importation of barley; but to tax
malt imported at as high a sum as is levied on malt made
at home, and, of course, to tax all malt made from
foreign grown, as well as from English grown barley.
To tax the people's bread becausethere is a tax on their
beer, levied by the malt-tax, is a specinien of that street
logic which justifies taking away a man's wig because
another person has stolen his hat, and he cannot escape
the clutches of either thief, nor procure assistance to
bring him to justice.
Our adversaries' cause rests on such fallacies, and the
great master of' the art of dressing up cases abounds in
them. " Think," exclaimed Sir lbonEaT PEEL, "of the
amount of capital engaged in the production 0f45,000,000
of quarters ofgrain." " Think of the pecuniary interests
involved. Think of the social interests of how many
families depend for their subsistence and their com-
fint on this production.- Think, indeed! it Maker one's
hair stand on end to think that every jot of the
land and of the -capital vested in it, of the skill em-
ployed in producing the 45,000,000 quarters, all the
cattle and implements which aid in the production,
would be in existence after the Corn-laws were totally
repealed, just as they are now. Why; the celebrated
Marquis of TAMBOF, with 30,000,000 quarters of wheat
ready to be made into bread and chueked for, nothing
into the mouths of the people, does not more excite the
wondering horror of the nation than does Sir ROBERT
PEEL by his emphatic " Think !"
Think, indeed ! that function in him Is confined to
securing the ascendancy of his party, and the preserva-
tion of his own power. Think ! if he thought of the
public, he would have stated, on the authority of Mr.
MEEK, Mr. JACOB, and scores of travellers, that we
can suddenly get no great supplies of food from any
quarter, and that consequently the effect of the total
abolition of the Corn-laws would-only cause a very small
reduction in the price of corn, if it did not, in the first
instance, cause, by the great additional demand for
food, a rise in the price. It is, however, utterly im-
possible that the total abolition of the Corn-law can
lower the price of food to its level in 1835 and 1836.
Sir ROBERT PEEL, with his emphatic " think," cannot
suppose that wheat will fall for a year or two, if the
law be abolished, below 40s. When it did so fall, what
was the consequence ? Were those mighty social and
pecuniary interests, about which Sir ROBERT tells us to
think, destroyed ? 'Were they injured ? Were they
convulsed ? Rents were lowered ; a few farmers suf-
fered distress ; but the bulk of the labourers flourished.
Mr. CAYLEY, indeed, and the barley growers, threatened
to stop the supplies; but that -convulsion of these great
social interests is wholly overlooked by all historians,
and wholly forgotten, except by a few persons who take
a particular interest in watching this question. .'
The emphatic " think" of Sir ROBERT PEEL implies a
gross exaggeration which is quite worthy of the man
who sought to influence the House of Commons to:pass
the Irish Coercion Act, by recounting a well drassed
up tale of horror that had occurred thirty years
isefore. In the present situation of this country, it is the
duty of the Prime Minister to calm fears, to dispel
apprehensions, and to disabuse the landlords of
those prejudices which stand in the way of doing justice
to the people. Very much to Sir R. PEEL'S discredit, he
most mischievously takes a directly opposite course, and
excites the fears, increases the apprehensions, and
strengthens the prejudices of the landlords. Raving a
ease to make out for them he acted as an advocate, and
by trumpeting forth gross exaggerations, rallied them
all by a war cry to the banner of protection. , lie
is at once the opponent of truth and of the people.

SPORTING IN' EL LI GENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The Derby, Oaks, and Chester Cup, were severally touched
upon in the course of a dull afternoon, but without leading to
many alterations. For.the first of the three events Attila was
backed •for 501. at the price ((doted, and Chatham for nearly
3001. at 11 and 12 to 1, the backers being numerous and
" fond." The 30 to 1 class was lessened by the retreat of
Auckland, who although not mentioned at a definitive price, is
obviously a worse favourite by many points. Ballinkeele was
in demand at 30 to 1, and the Dirce.colt at 1,000 to 30; " all
the mare's" wore backed three times at 1,000 to 30. The most
striking change in the Oaks affected Syren, who was backed
for 1001. at 12 to 1, an improvement of eight points on our
last quotation; the lot (Scott's) was also backed for a similar
amount at 7to 2. The Cup betting was flat and unimportant.
By a notice posted in the room, irappears that the subscription
commences on the first of March, and that subscribers will
have to agree to abide by the existing laws, and any new rules
that hereafter may be made, by the Jockey Club concerning
the room.

The Loan -MAYOR stated that he had received from an
anonymous correspondent, who requested that the contribution
might be publicly acknowledged, the sum of ten pounds, for the
assistance of the objects of charity, who fall under his Lord-
ship's notice at the Justice-room.
His Lot:Joann. also said, that he had received the following
curious letter from a doctor of Natural Philosophy, resident at
Minden, in Westphalia:—
" To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor of London,
" Sir—l have read in the newspapers that there is so great a
quantity of rats in London, as to become the very torment and
calamity of the people, and, in fact, there is no greater calamity
than the unusual increase of these nasty animals ; not only that
they undermine the walls, and ruin all in the houses, disturb
the people in their, sleep, but, what is the worst, they even ven-
ture at last, to bite the men, as it was lately here the case, that
a man was bit in his groin when asleep, who must die. .Now, I
hear that all usual means to destroy them there, have proved
inefficient, which is alwayethe case as they do not eat the poison
if they smell it when it is mixed with fat or grease. I myself
was once tormented with these troublesome animals, and after
having tried all known means to no purpose I at last found out
a sure one, either to turn them out or even to kill them.
I am ready to communicate you these means for a con•
formable gratification, if you think it convenient ; if not, an
answer is not necessary.

&DELPHI THEATRE.
M. Scribe's original comedy of La Chaine, considered one of
his best pieces, appeared in an English dress at this theatre last
night under the title of the Breach of Promise of Marriage.
The immorality grafted on it by the taste of the French stage
has been dismissed by the adapter, and it also partakes of other
general alterations. The chief sustainer of the piece is Amery
(Mr. Lyon), a young musician, who is patronized by Lady
Eastland (Mrs. Yates), and who becomes in love with him.
Amery, preliminarily to this, had attached himself to Ellen
( Miss E. Chaplin ), the daughter of a Bristol merchant, but ren-
dered vain by the condescension of Lady Eastland, he returns
her passion. Her brother, however, Lord Starboard (Mr. Yates),
being cognizant of these circumstances, urges, by all the in-
fluential means of which he is master, the marriage of Amery
with his sister's rival, Ellen. This is effected, and Lady East-
land is finally obliged to conquer her passion for Amery.
Some light under-play on the part of Dabbleton (Mr. Wright).
a spruce and coxcombical attorney, who addresses letters to
Lady Eastland, without knowing her rank, and who, by rea-
son of his uncourageous nature, is constantly in dread of duels
from her brother, furnishes some happy points and witty
escapades. Mr. Yates made an excellent Admiral, and the
drollery of Mr. Wright was very effective. The house, which
was crowded, received the piece with great applause, and it
certainly promises to become a favourite.

" Minden, in Westphalia, Feb. 4th, 1842."
A man named William Knowlder, who stated that he was
an engineer; and that he had an independent property, was
charged with having upwards of a hundred cigars and a quarter
of a pound of tea.
A Thames-police constable said that he met the defendant
that morning in the neighbourhood of the river, and knowing
that the man was a smuggler, asked him whether he had any-
thing about him, to which he replied in the negative. Witness,
however, found the cigars and the tea on his person.
The defendant declared that he had purchased the articles
for his own use, and paid a high price for then. He was
fined 3/.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Yesterday Michael Reynolds, a very tall, aged, respectable
looking man, was charged with begging. It appeared that the
prisoner was apprehended by John Horsford, one of the officers
of the Mendicity Society, asking alms in Piccadilly, of several
different ladies and gentlemen, to whom he was very importu-
nate, and persistedin following them for a considerable distance,
alleging that he was nearly desperate from hunger, not having
tasted food for three days. Knowing that he was a common
impostor, and had been several times committed for begging,
the officer took him into custody, and found on him 15s. in
silver, Is. in copper, and a silver watch. He was committed
for one month, and 7s. 6d. of the money found on him de-
ducted for his keep in prison ; the remainder and the watch
were given up to him.

Four omnibus drivers, and nine cab drivers, appeared on
summons to answer the complaint of Sergeants Smith and Rogers
of the C division, for causing an obstruction in Piccadilly—the
drivers of the omnibusses by stopping longer than necessary to
take up or set down, facing the ead of the Burlington Arcade ;
and the cab drivers for plying for hire, eastward of the west side
of Sackville-street. They were fined in sums varying from lOs.
to 3s. and thoscosts. The nuisance is loudly complained of by
the shopkeepers on the spot.
William Foote, a stalwart and very powerful young man, who
has long been a pest to the West-End as a street beggar, was
committed for 3 months to hard labour, for beating, in a most
brutal and unmanly manner, John Horsford, one of the constables
belonging to the Mendicity Society, who apprehended him on
Saturday night in Arlington-street, Piccadilly.
THAMES POLICE.
Yesterday, David Miller, Robert Walters, John Brewster,
and John Anderson, all belonging to the Perth steam-boat,
were charged before Mr. Broderip, with having committed an
assault upon Richard Day, a waterman, and obstructing and
assaulting a Thames policeman in the execution of his futy, by
pushing him into the water.
It appeared that on Sunday night about I I o'clOck, the de-
fendants went to Wapping Old" Stairs, for the purpose of
hiring a boat to take them on board the Perth. They had
agreed with Day, and got into the beat which was pushed off,
and on being requested to sit down, began to abuse the water-
man, and insisted upon rowing the beat themselves. Day
became alarmed at their violent conduct, pulled the boat ashore
and declined the fare. Upon this, they seized him,.and held him
down in the boat, which they pushed off, and it drifted down
vs ith the tide. Day called out for the police, who quickly pulled
towards them, and Policeman Richard Oliver got into the
boat. ; he had no sooner done so, however, than Brewster made
an attack upon him and pushed him overboard. Fortunately,
it was not high water at the time, and Oliver succeeded in get-
ing a footing, and ultimately dragged the boat on shore, when
they were all four taken to the station•house. They were all
intoxicated.

Mr. BRODERIP said that the offence was a very serious one,
and if the policeman had been drowned, they would most
likely have been tried for their lives. They might think them-
selves fortunate that they were standing where they were, as
in all probability, bad they drifted much further, the boat
could have been capsized by running against another vessel.
He should fine them all—Brewster 5/ , or two months'
prisonment ; Walter 3/., or six weeks' imprisonment; Ander-
son 205.. or a fortnight's imprisonment, and Miller 10s., or one
week's imprisonment.
The defendants paid the fines, and went quietly off to their
ships.

The debate on Mr. VILLIERS' motion was again re-
newed last night, and, rather Contrary to expectations,
was again adjourned. It was begun heavily enough by
Mr. HARDY, who inflicted on the House a dissertation
on laws that were passed to benefit the country, and were
beneficial to particular classes. Mr. ll.tuny seems to
have a notion that a law is a positive blessing and must
do good; We have understood that every law being an
infringement on liberty is an evil to be justified and
defended only on the ground of necessity and overcoming
some other evil. On this principle, we admire the

wisdom of that ancient people who required every person

to put a halter round his neck who proposed a law, that
he might be ready to give pp his life if he
wantonly and unnecessarily wished to inflict a new
restriction on the people. Such legislators as Mr.
HARDY glory in their immunity, and, regarding. plenty
of food as a great evil, they complacently—without any
fear of the rope—Meke mid support laws to lessen and
limit its quantity.
The debate soon displayed to us a new feature in the
character of 'some of our friends. Colonel Fox, who
was followed by others, declared that he was for a total
repeal, but not for that total repeal now, lie and they
admit that the law is a great injustice, but they want
gradually to get rid of it. What should we think of the
police which gradually proposed to check btu-glary, or
which promised to put an end to murder a few years hence?
We regret to say that there are many men like Colonel
Fox in the House, Mr. MAcAut.A.r, Mr. C. BULLER,
and Mr. RICE, the Member for Doter, for example ; and
they state as the ground of their reluctance instantly to

op the cruel robbery ordained by the Legislature,

Some questions were asked last night, in the House of
Commons, relative to the case of Mr. ELTON; from the
answers to which, it results that, in the opinion of the
Admiralty, the Court-martial on that 'gentleman. was
composed of officers on whose great knowledge and per-
fect impartiality_ not a doubt can be thrown ; that Cap-
tain WILLIAMi, the prosecutor, is an officer of high
and unblemished character ; that Mr. ELTON was legally
punished ; and that the Admiralty caused him to be
released, because • they , thought, after his long
imprisonment on board ship, the justice of the
ease and the discipline of the Navy were satis-
fied. We scarcely ever knew an example- of the
Admiralty not upholding the authority of a Captain, or
a series of Captains composing a Court-martial, against
a poor Middy or' any other subordinate. If indeed a
Captain or an Admiral were concerned, the Admiralty
might doubt or hesitate, but if the victim he beloW that
rank, the Court is in general held to be immaculate,
and he is denied all redress.

that there are vested interests under it. What
can we expect from the Tories, who avow
themselves our enemies, and are determined to
be our tyrants, when our friends regard a sixpence of a
Dowager's annuity, or a shilling of a landlord's rent, as
of infinitely more importance than the health
and lives of the people, now daily sacrificed. by
the law which deprives them of food ? When we
heard such sentiments from our friends, our hearts
sank within us, and we felt at once an almost annihilating
conviction that all hope of obtaining anything from
Parliament must be given up, and the people must rely
on themselves and on GOD.

The debate was enlivened by Mr. MACAULAY'S
eloquence and Mr. C. •BULLER'S wit, but neither the one
nor the other atoned to us for their want of stern
justice. Mr. BULLER was less happy than usual,
and more inconsistent. Mr. MACAULAY smote Sir
ROBERT PEEL .rery hard, but he acknowledged

We are acqtninted with one case in which a diWerent
rule was followed. A Lieutenant of the Navy nxis tried
by a Court-martial in the Mediteranean, about three
years ago, for improper conduct ; the evidence against
him was all hearsay or subornation ; nevertheless there
was in the breasts of the Court a horror at his imputed
offence--as we understand there is now in the breasts of
disciplinarians a horror at the liberties taken by junior.
officers—and he •was found guilty and dismissed the
service. Thal, officer, by dint of strong representations-
at head-quarters, and strong proofs of his innocence
supplied from other sources, obtained a re-
vision of the proceedings. The Admiralty referred
the matter to its law officers, who pronounced
the whole proceedings illegal, declared that the -evidence
did not justify the shadow of an imputation on the cha-
racter of the officer, and the Whig Admiralty- very
properly and justly restored him to his rank. That
such a case occurred in the Mediterranean is some
ground of . suspicion that Mr. ELTON'S ease may
not have been conducted altogether according to rule.
We cannot place much
.contidenee, therefore, in
the customary assertion of Sir. G. COCKBURN, that the
Court-martial was quiet a model, when we know that the
same Admiral, Sir JOHN Louis, presided on both trials.
We have heard tales enough from that quarter 'to be-,
Nye that officers place very little reliance on the dis-
crimination, the firmness, or the impartiality_ of that.

the House will bring the subject fully under its con-
sideration, and, if possible, carry a little light into
all the recesses and pigeon-holes of the Admiralty.

that he was not likely to satisfy his consti-
tuents. He will probably -hear. from Mr DUNCAV
MACLAREN and the total and immediate repealers of
Edinburgh. Mr. MACAULAY is one of the Members who
are for compromising a felony, because it is conjoined
with a breach of trust, and has given to the dishonest
servants of the people a profit in their own wrong.
Want of space will compel us to take only a very brief
and scanty notice of Mr. WAKLEY's speech, which had
the merit, though it was rambling, of telling the House
some -most important truths. He was peculiarly happy
when he spoke of the Protestant landowners regarding
tithes for the maintenance of • the Church as
a burden; and when he told the landlords they ought to
regard as a pleasure, with all their pririlegos,to contri-
bute to the happiness of the poor. He asked empha-
tically, what they meant by' agricultural protection ;
was it the protection of their mansions and parks, or of

the mud hovels of their half-starved labourers ? lie
characterised the course of the landlords as mad, and
said of the Corn-law, that it was " the master infamy of
the world," Such language► has seldom been heard in
Parliament, it has never before been listened to, as it
was in this case, with marked attention.. .Sir lionEaT

ORONER S INQUEST.—Last evening Mr. Payne
held an inquest at Guy's Hospital, on the body of James Barfly,
awed twenty-eight. Wm. Thompson, foreman in the employ
of Sir John Rennie and Co., iron-founders, of No. 6, Holland-
street, Black friars•road, said the deceased was employed by the
same firm, and that about Live, A.M., on Saturday last, they
were busied, with fi•e others, in founding a diving bell. For
this purpose they were standing around an immense ladle,-
containing six toes of molten iron. This ladle i. suspended by
a crane, has two handles on each side, ever pivots, and
steadied by two seven-foot levers whilst the metal is being
poured into the pipe that conveys it to the mould. Two amen
stand at each of the bandits, and three at the levers. It is
the business of she men at the handles to tilt very gently the
immense ladle, whilst the levers are used to steady it, and to
prevent the men at the handles from pouring out the liquid metal
too fast. On the day in question deceasedwas one of the men at the
handles, and when all was in readiness two keepers were taken
away from the sides of the ladle, and the men pouring out the
liquid did so with a jerk, whereby too much of it fell into the
pipe that conducts to the mould, and flying in red hot iron
sparks about, frightened one of the men at the levels, who let
go the one which he held, and ran away. The other two men
at the levers following his example, the consequence was, the
complete upturning of the ladle, and the spilling of the liquid
metal. The men, in their alarm, ran confusedly to and fro.
whereby six were injured, and deceased lost his life. In fact,
he ran into a round hole under the ladle, which containing a
large quantity of the molten liquid, he was fatally scalded.
Mr. James Rae, a gentleman belonging to the firm, witnessed
the accident, and confirmed the testimony of the foreman. It
the men had not been frightened, it would not have happened.
Mr. Pearson, house-surgeon, said deceased died of the scalds,.
which were excessive, on Sunday evening. The wife sf de-
ceased said that be told her that the men thought the ladle
was badly poised, and therefore run away. He said, alto,
that it was an accident which, under the cirumstances, five•
hundred men could not have prevented. Verdict, " Accidental
death."

PEEL must hasten to bring the Corn-law debates to a
close, or he will have a flame kindled in the empire,
running from the House of Commens.
His friends help it on. ➢ir. MoNcKToN MIL!:Es told

the House, and through the Mouse told the people, that
all rights of property were settled and arranged by the
Legislature—a most dangerous doctrine to hold. it at
once brands the Legislature as the cause of the opu-
lence of the few and the poverty of the many, and whets
the desire of the many to get hold'Uf the power of
making the laws, in order to rectify this terrible in-
equality. If Sir RoBERT PEEL can muzzle neither
friends nor foes, cannot inspire the former with discre-
tion, nor make the latter afraid, the sooner he shuts
up the House of Commons the better fur him.
The Debate was adjourned a little before Twelve
&Clock, and Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD IS in possession
of the louse.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NElirS.i
FROM THE MORNING PAP.ZRS OF THIS DAT.
POST.—The heaviness witne se.l in the several markets ,
could not be at all accounted for. The s'gnature of the Ant
s avery Treaty bt the leading Powers, with the omission dr
France, is understood to hare been grin to the active influ-
ence of the representative of the Viiited States at Paris. This
circumstance was of course, not overlooked. Failures were,
. moreover, talked of. A bill-broker, and several, or at all events
two or three houses connected with the seed, or-, oil-tride,
carrying on business on the bank: of the river, were said to be
under embarrassment, and reports of this nature have gegerally
some effect on the value of stock ; hut we should rather 'think
the decline we have quoted may ha'.e had its origin principally
in the bear operations of the dealers in anticipation of the ac-
count-day in Consols, which is close at hand;

Loss OF THE KENT STEAMER.—Yesterday morning
intelligence was received in the city, by the underwriters at Lloyd's,
of the loss of the Commercial Steam Navigation Company's steamer
the Kent, Captain Lakeman, which happened'on the morning of
Saturday last, during the heavy fog, on the coast, off the village of
Barton, in Hampshire, but was happily unattended with 'loss of
human lite. It appears that the Kent, which was a fine two.
masted vessel, upwards of 120 feet In length, and of about 200 tone
burden, has lately been running with another steamer between Tor-
quay, in Devonshire, and Southampton: She left Torquay on Fri-
day evening at the usual time, with about 50 passengers, and all
went on smoothly till about four o'clock on Saturday morning, when
a heavy fog came on. The weather not being boisterous, though
extremely cold, the master, Captain Lakeman, considered it prudent
to proceed on the voyage, but, at the same time, the speed Well
greatly slackened, and extra" look-outs" were ordered forward.. On
arriving off' Poole, the vessel was kept well out from the land, and
was supposed to be continuing in that track, when suddenly, to the
amazement and consternation of all on board, she went ashore
between Hurst Castle and Christchurch Point. She struck
with immense violence ; in fact so great was the shock that
all those on deck were knocked down, and two of the seamen
thrown overboard, but fortunately they regained the deck. The
scene that ensued amongst the passengers, amongst whom were
several females, was of a most distressing character, for it was fully
anticipated that the vessel would momentarily go to pieces. Capt.
Lakeman acted with the greatest fortitude, and to that alone is at.
tributab:e the preservation of all on board the i.l.fated vessel.
After a alt rt delay the boats were lowered, and in the course of an
hour the whole of the passengers were safely placed on shore. In
the meantime assistance came up, and also a body of the Coast
Guard service, when the most strenuous exertions were made to
get the vessel off, but it was found utterly impracticable, and, ac.
cording to the accounts received, it is feared that she will become
a total wreck. It is understood that she was insured for 2,0001.
The Kent was launched at Gravesend about 16 years ago, and till
purchased, five years sinoe, by the Commercial Steam Navigation
Company, was employed running between London and Gravesend.
SURREY Tit EATRE.—Last night a new two-act
drama, entitled Ombra ; or, The Spirit of the Rocking Stone, from
the pen of Mr. Fitzball, was produced at this theatre, and received
with complete success. The present novelty is of the class called
romantic, with a mixture of supernatural, abounding in incidents
and situation,, of much interest, but of too complex a character to
be given in detail, The management aided the production with
effective scenery, and some very pleating music. Another attrac-
tion of the evening was the first appearance of Mr. Collins, the To.
calist, in the character of Teddy Mullowney, in the favourite farce
of Teddy Me Tiler. He performed the part with considerable spi.
rit, and introduced with much favour the two Irish songs of " The
Boys of Kilkenny," and " The Widow Mahony."
This is our Paisley Candlemas fair week, but a
more dispirited arid unbusiness fair never passed over in town. On
Thursday there were scarcely any cattle in the market, and, with
the exception of a slight addition to the number of country visitors,
nothing was observable beyond an ordinary market.day to the
town's-people, who have, in general, no other thing to think of,
but in bitter despair to reflect Aver their losses, or to contrive
where the next meal may come from, fair days and ordinary days
come now all alike. The voice of mirth, and the lialf.day's enjoy-
ment, dressed nut hi their best attire, are alike completely gone.
The farmers in general in this quarter are becoming, from dear-
bought experience, ardent converts for the repeal of the Corn.)aws.
Low prices for their produce, a difficulty to find purchasers, and
a still greater difficulty to obtain payment, is leaving them with
doubtful prospects as to their ability to provide for the rent day,
and with no hope whatever of being able to fulfil their engagements,
if a speedy change do not soon take place in the condition of the
manufacturing population.—Glasgara Ruenhog Post.
Wis.:LAND, TDE PORT.—The night that followed
the battle of Jena W3S a terrible one to the inhabitants of Weimar.
The contest raged in its streets and walks ; showers of halls fedi
into the town ; all around houses were seen in flames; plunder
and devastation were at their height. But amidst this general con.
fusion, Wieland, the poet, received a proof of the high estimation
in which his talents were held by him who had thus directed time
storm of war ; for, by Bitonaparte's orders, a guard was placed be-
fore his house for its protection. Next morning Marshal Ney
waited upon him in person. He found him in his room, which
had been stripped of its furniture before the guard had been
placed. Wieland bad only his own chair remaining, which he
offered to the Marshal ; but Ney, with politeness and kindness,
gently re.seated the old man in his chair, and observed jiat he
knew better whose duty it was to stand in the presence of Wisiland.
WILSON' LECTURES ON BcoTuil MUSIC.—This po.
pular vocalist gave a lecture last evening at time Music.hall, Store-
street, on the music and song of his native land. He chomte for the
immediate subject connected with his series of lectures the actven.
tures of Prince Charles in his attempt In the year 1745.6 ; and
illustrated his narrative with the songs of the times, and the airs
which were played during the events of that stirring period.
Amongst the songs were—" Welcome. Royal Charlie," " Whall be
King but Charlie ?" " Wha wadna fight for Charlie ?" "0, this
is no nay sin Lassie ;" the well-known song " Johnnie Cope ;"
" Allister M'Allister." All these songs•were sung ty Mr. Wilson
with exquisite taste, and must, to lovers of Scotch melody, be a
perfect treat. The part that was purely a lecture was well delivered,
and was made very entertaining by the great variety of anecdote
and the aptness of many pootical quotations. The room was
crowded with company.

SUDDEN i)Evrn IN COVENT-GARDEN :MARKET.—
Last evening an inquest wa, held at the Unicorn, Henrietta-
street, Covent-garden, before Mr. Riggs, ol the body of Michael
Hare, aged 52, a porter, in Covent-garden Market. On Saturday
morning last he was employed to carry a load of vegetables to
:Chancery-lane, and on returning with the empty basket on his
head, he suddenly fell on theground, and he never moved after-
wards. Verdict—" Died by the Visitation of Clod."
A FOUNDRY oN FlRE.—About eight o'clock on
Wednesday evening last, Messrs. Sanders and Williams, of this
town, were alarmed by the upper part of the foundry taking tire.
The tire was extinguished before it had effected any material
damage, and was caused by the overheating of the furnace.--

the body of John Kennedy, Esq., a gentleman of fortune. Eliza-
beth Burney, housemaid to the deceased, said that she was laying

when her master was suddenly taken ill, and before medical assist .

ante arrived he was a corpse. Thomas Kennedy deposed that .he

died from natural causes. Verdict—. Died by the visitation of tied
Last night an investiglition was gone into before
Mr. Payne, at the City Arms, West-square, St. George's.road, on
the body of Mrs. Eliza Dean, 38, the wife of a portrait.painter,
residing at No. 27 in the above square. It appeared that
the deceased had far several months past been in a very ill
state of health, arising from the death of one of her children by
scarlet fever, and was at times very melancholy. On Friday night,
on one of the children going into the kitchen, she saw her legs and
part of her body hanging over a watetbutt. She screamed
for assistance, and police_constable L 44 was called in. Her shoes
were off, and befote immersing herself she had taken the busk from
her stays. On being taken out of the water she was laid on pillows
in front of the Rre in the front kitchen, and Mr. Caley, surgeon, of
the I.Anden-road, used all his endeavours to restore animation, but
ineffectually. To reach the top of the waterbutt she had stood en
a nine.gallon cask, and then worked herself up to the top by her
knees. It was stated that she was a most fend and careful mother,
and her extreme care for the welfare of her children had brought on
her illness. Verdict—" Temporary insanity."
A MODERN ACTIEON.—A built ten days ago, Wil-
liamson, the welt-known and highly respected huntsman to the
Duke of Buccleuch, had very nearly met the fate of Actmon,in the
kennel near Dalkeith Palace. Mr. Williamson had gone into the
kennel with a whip in his hand, but without the red hunting.coat,
when a dog which had been recently added to the pack ap-
proached him, with a threatening growl, upon which Williamson
gave the animal a smart rap over the nose with his whip. The ieg
instantly fastened on his arm, and directly the whole kennel Sew at
their master. Fortunately two of the keepers, who were at hand,
came to, the rescue, and whipped oft' the dogs. Williamson was
considerably lacerated, but, we are glad to learn, is in no danger, as
his wounds are rapidly healing. —Caledonian Mercury/.
