HAYMARKET THEATRE.
' Morton, the indefatigable, who fits Buckstone with parts
quite as well as ever Buckstone has fitted himself, produced
a most laughable farce here last evening, entitled The King
and /—Buckstone, rejoicing in the name of Perkin Pyefinch,
being, of course, the I. The scene is laid in London, in
1621, and Mr. Pyefinch, who is, as he informs us, a native
of York, in Yorkshire, fancies himself calculated to cut a
figure in the world, and is exceedingly desirous of getting a
place under Government. He cares not what it is—any
thing, from a commander-in-chief to a beefeater, would suit
him. Lie is, moreover,. a suitor for the hand of a certain
Jessie D'onald (Miss J. Bennett) a pretty Scotch girl, whose
lover, Sir W. Melrose (Mr. Noll; is obliged to reside abroad,
as a suspected Jacobite. There is a certain Mistress May-
love (Miss Telbin), a favourite of William the Third, a pa-
tronoss of Pyefinch, and a friend of Melrose, who has returned
to London secretly, in order to endeavour to save his property
from the grasp of an old usurer. Pyefinch over-hears Mrs.
Maylove call him William, jumps at the conclusion that he
must be the King, treats him as such with most laughable
outré marks of respect, feasts him, lends him money, even
gives up Jessie Donald at his command, and then congratu-
lates himself that the King and I have eat, and drank, and
hobnobbed together, so that the place will moat as-
suredly follow as a matter of course. The acting of Buck-
stone in the feasting scene was grand. Never. has
etiquette run mad been more superbly represented,
and the self-satisfaction with which he talks about
the King and I, is rich in the extreme. Superb, too,
was the contempt with which he treated Burchell (Jas.
Bland), the Minister's Secretary, who comes to pump him
concerning Mistress Maylove, and his stare of astonishment
when he discovers, which he does, by being arrested as a
traitor, that his King is Sir William Melrose, and that he
has actually lent money to redeem the very estate which he
and the old usurer were to share between them, was magni-
ficent. Of course, Melrose's innocence is proved, and he is
married to Jessie, according to the prescribed practice in all
such cases, and Master Pyefinch gets a promise of payment.
The house, which was a bumper, was in a roar the whole
time Buckstone was on the stage, and amidst the loudest ap-
plause he announced The King and I will appear every
night.

ENGINEER—Sir John Rennie, F.R.S.
SECRETARY, PRO TEM.—TIIOIIIIIS Dyke, Esq.
A principal: feature in this; undertaking:is the erection at the Old,
or Aust, Passage, of a fixed bridge across the estuary of the Severn,
adapted as well for railway traffic as for ordinary carriage and pe-
destrian intercourse. By the construction of this bridge, and the in-
tended line of railway in connexion with it, two most important
objects will be attained ; first, there will be established, by moans of
a junction at Hereford with the proposed lines north of that city, a
direct, unbroken line of railway communication between Bristol and
Liverpool, with a saving in distance of about forty-two miles over
the present route ; and, secondly, there will be opened a free com-
munication between the southern and western portions of England,
on the one hand, and Monmouthshire and South Wales ex the other.
These Important districts have hitherto been practically severed,
and only rendered accessible to each other by a most inconvenient
ferry, dependent on tides and weather. The want of a fixed bridge
over the Severn, at the point intended by this company, has long been
severely felt, and it would be Impossible, whether in reference to na-
tional or local interests, to over estimate the importance of a scheme
designed to supply this want. It has not, however, been from a
consideration of Its impracticability that such a work has not long
since been accomplished. In the year 1825 Mr. Telford, the late ce-
lebrated engineer, was consulted upon the subject, and gave a most
decided opinion in favour of it, particularly adverting (amongst other
causes affording facility) to the groat height of the banks at the Old
Passage, to the fact of the bed of the river consisting wholly of solid
rock, and to the circumstance that suitable materials for the work
could be procured within a reasonable distance.
The engineers of the present proposed work, as well as other en-
gineers of eminence, are equally confident of the thorough practica-
bility of the undertaking.
Until recent times, and before the period had arrived when railway
traffic and profits had reached their present astonishing extent, the
expense of this bridge compared with the probable traffic returns,
naturally retarded its projection; but now, when works equally
difficult and expensive, such as tunnels and viaducts, are readily con-
structed by railway companies for the mere traffic of their line, and
sometimes only to avoid a comparatively trifling deviation, it will be
at once admitted, that with a view merely to the formation of a
direct line between Bristol and Liverpool (without looking to col-
lateral or ultra-terminal advantages), the magnitude of the under-
taking is no longer to be regarded as an impediment to its com-
pletion.

THE OLD ENGLAND AFFAIR.
The following is the official report of the proceedings be-
(ore the Stewards of the Jockey Club :
" The Stewards of the Jockey Club having attended at
Messrs. Weatherby's office in Burlington-street, on Saturday,
the 31st of May, and, by adjournment, on Monday, the 2d of
June, to hear a charge brought by Mr. Gully, against J. F.
Bloodsworth and William Stebbings, of having conspired to bet
against Old England for the Derby, in connexion with Wil-
liam Day, and through information clandestinely derived from
him, and subsequently to lame, or by other means to prevent
the said horse running for that race, having heard the confession
of W. Day, and the evidence of W. Barrett, jun., and of J. Day,
sen. are satisfied that Messrs. Bloodsworth and Stebhings did
conspire to bet against Old England; that communication waa
kept up by Stebbings writing letters through Bloodsworth to
William Day, which letters were sent under cover to William
Barrett, jun., of Stoekbridge, for several months. It appeared
that William Day and William:Barrett, jun., did, on different
occasions, meet btebbings at,Bloodsworth's house in London,
and at other places, to carry out their plans. It was also po-
sitively stated by William Day and William Barrett, jun.,
that Stebbinga did at Bloodsworth's house recommend
that the horse's foot should be bruised by striking
it with a hard stone, or by tying a handkerchief
round the leg, and striking the sinew with a stick,
and if that was not sufficiett, that he, Stebbings, could
easily get a powder, which, being mixed with the corn, would
stop him. They added that Bloodsworth was averse to the
last part of this proposal, saying it was a lagging affair. Messrs.
Bloodsworth and Stebbings denied the whole story of having
desired William Day to maim the horse, but admitted that they
had betted largely against Old England, in consequence of the
information they had obtained from William Day, and
Stebbings acknowledged that he • had received full
information from William Day for several years
past as to the qualities and condition of horses in John
Day's stables, and bad betted largely for himself and for Wil-
liam Day in consequence of such information.
" The Stewards therefore order—
" That J. F. Bloodsworth, William Stebbings, and William
Day, be warned off the course at Newmarket, and out of the
Coffee-room-yard there ; and that William Day be not per-
mitted to ride in any race at Newmarket.
" They also recommend the proprietors and stewards of all
race-courses where the rules of the Jockey Club are in force to
prevent them appearing on such courses.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.
RESOLUTIONS, founded on the REPORT and BALANCE.
SHEET read at the General Meeting of the Members of the
BRITISH and FOREIGN INSTITUTE, on Saturday, the 31st of
May, and carried unanimously.
Right Hon. the EARL of DEVON, in the Chair.
Proposed by JAMES Simpson, Esq. ; Seconded by Captain
MACONOCHIE, R.N.
" 1. That the Report and Balance-sheet now read be adopted, and
printed for general circulation among the Members ; and that the
suggestions and recommendations of the Committee, contained in the
Report, be approved and carried into execution."
Proposed by Lord JAMES STUART, M.P. ; seconded by Z. A.
JESSELL, Esq.
" 2. That the position attained by the Institute, at the close of this,
the second year of its existence only, is highly satisfactory, as show-
ing, that notwithstanding all the difficulties, opposition, and pre-
judices with which it has had to contend, its present income has been
made to cover its actual expenditure: and that the value of its as-
sets greatly exceeds its liabilities."
Proposed by E. W. PENDARVES, Esq., M.P.; seconded by the Rev.
JAMES ST. AUBYN. •
" 3. That though the Annual Subscriptions to the Institute were
originally fixed at too low a scale for the varied advantages and plea-
sures which it offers to the Members, it is thought best to continue
them for the present, without any change, the Council relying on the
efforts of the Members generally (now that all doubt of success
and stability is removed) to exert themselves in their respective
circles, by correcting misapprehensions, and making the real merits
and attractions of the Establishment more generally and more accu-
rately known, so that by constantly increasing numbers, the income
may be proportionately hnproved, without any addition to the exist-
ing rates, and the funds be thus made adequate to accomplish all the
improvements contemplated and desired."
Proposed by Sir GEORGE STAUNTON, Bart. ; seconded by GEORGE
WILBRAIIAM, Esq.
"4. That one of the most effective modes of making extensively
known the nature and character of the Literary Proceedings of the
Institute, will be to give the widest possible circulation to the First
Volume of its transactions, in which these proceedings will be fully
and faithfully recorded :—and that as this will be well calculated to
convey accurate information into circles where much misapprehension
may prevail, it is strongly recommended to the Members generally to
promote its circulation accordingly."
Proposed by WYNN Eizis, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by Brig.-Gen. Sir
HENRY PYNN.
" 5. That the four classes of members, as at present arrrariged, be
in all future entries limited to two only ; namely, town members and
country members ; the former to include all who reside or who have
establishments in London, or within seven miles of the General Post-
office, or who remain in town for more than two months at any one
time, and make use of the Institute during any part of that period ;
and the latter, to embrace all who live beyond that distance, who
have no establishments in the metropolis, and who do not remain in
town beyond the specified period."
Proposed by CHARLES COCHRANE, Esq. ; seconded by HENRY
TUDOR, Esq.
" 6. That the annual subscription for ladies, when elected members
of the Institute, and entitled to all its privileges, shall be only the
L. Ist therihttlig. mu Ova.. nf sash class:

Proposed by Sir JoaN YARDE BULLER, Bart., M.P. ; seconded by ED-

" 8. That the cordial thanks of the meeting be presented to the
Right Hon. the Earl of Devon, the President of the Institute, for his
continued and zealous interest in its welfare: and to the trustees,
Vice-Presidents, and Committee, forming the Council of the Institute,
for their valuable co operation in the promotion of Its success."
Proposed by the Rev. SEPTIMUS RAMSAY, M.A. ; seconded by
DR. CAMPS.
"9. That the thanks of this meeting are also especially duo to Mr.

MAN S lON-HO USE.
Yesterday a man, named William Leonard, was put to the
bar charged with having caused an explosion of gas in a
public-house in Petticoat-lane, on Saturday last, and injured
Mrs. Reeing, the proprietor of it.
At about twenty minutes past eight o'clock on Saturday night
the prisoner and another man walked into the parlour of the
house, accompanied by a female, and the landlady stated to
them that she did not allow women to go beyond the bar. She
knew the men, and entertained a very indifferent opinion of
them. Soon after the party went away the landlady went into
the parlour, and saw that the gas apparatus had been dragged
away, and she procured a cork to stop up the hole from which
the gas was escaping. The moment she applied the cork the
explosion took place. The windows were blown out of the
lower part of the house, the landlady was blown off the table
on which she had been standing, and a man who was in the
room with her was knocked down by the fall of the door, which
was forced from its hinges by the violence of the shack. The
landlady ran out in a dreadful condition, and with her cap
(sn
fire, and was conveyed to the hospital.
The prisoner said that he certainly had been in the house on
the night in question, but he had no idea whatever of anything
but what was right.
The prisoner was remanded till Monday next.
QUEEN-SQUARE.
A SHAMELESS WlFE.—Yesterday, Edward Quinten
big powerful fellow, described as a sailing master of a small'a
coasting vessel, and Mary Ann Ventris, a smartly-dressed
and pretty looking female, about 28 years of age, were placed
at the bar charged with felony.
George Ventris, the husband of the female, a respectable-
looking little man, apparently sixty years of age, stepped into
the witness-box and said—" I charge the prisoner with running
away with my wife and property. I want to know whether he
lhAffei;itt, tasmedurato my place in the country, and take
quantity of wearing apparel. A; therriare.'i=r7r?ciad been
seen in the neighbourhood at the
r,time he suspected that she
had gone off wain Sim,
information to the police, his wife was found on boars
toner's vessel, at Chelsea, on Tuesday evening, and the wear-
ing apparel in the cabin with her.
Mr. Boren—The wearing apparel, I suppose, was such as she
required for her own use ? The husband—Yes, sir, and a great
deal of it too. Has he a right to take my wifa away ? That's
the charge I make against him.
Mr. BOND discharged the wife, and called upon the man to
enter into his own recognizances to appear again on Monday,
to give the husband an opportunity of producing further evi-
dence if he could procure any against him.
The husband—Can't you hold him to bail, to prevent his
eloping with my wife again?
Mr. BOND said he could not.
The police having intimated that the lady had consented to
go back with her husband, the property was given up to the
latter, and the parties then left the Court, but had scarcely
been out five minutes, when the wife returned, and asked the
magistrate if she was compelled to go back with her husband ?
Mr. BOND said she ought to be ashamed of herself. He was
much surprised at her making such an inquiry. There were
very few husbands who would have taken her back.
The wife, who had played with her parasol during the pre-
vious examination, and had exhibited no symptoms of shame,
admitted that her husband hail always been a very kind man
to her.
The wife then retired, and whilst the husband was waiting
for her outside at a public-house opposite, the woman threw
her arms round her paramour's neck, and kissed him in the
presence of several persons who were standing at the bar at the
time, and then joined her much-injured husband.
SOUTH WARK.
Yesterday, Charles Sweet, described as a carver and
gilder, in the Waterloo-road, was charged before Mr. Cotting-
ham with exposing for sale in his shop books and prints of
an obscene description.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM said the offence with which the defendant
had been charged came clearly within the meaning of the 2d and
3d of Victoria, which gave magistrates the power of summarily
dealing with such cases and inflicting penalties. He only re-
gretted that he could not punish the vendor of pictures and books
of such an immoral and disgusting tendency under the Vagrant
Act, by imprisonment. The magistrate then inflicted a fine of
403. and 7s. costs on the defendant, or one month's imprison-
ment in default, and added, that he hoped he would appeal
against the conviction.
WORSHIP-STREET.
MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.—Two young men, named John
and Isaac Henster, were placed at the bar before Mr. Brough-
ton, charged with having wantonly assaulted an elderly,man
named Richard Howell, and thrown him into the Regent's
Canal, whereby his life was placed in imminent danger.
Sergeant Hammond, K 20, stated that while on duty at the
Bromley station, near Bow, at two o'clock on the preceding
afternoon, he received information that a man had been thrown
into the Regent's Canal, and was then lying upon the bank in
a dying state. He immediately proceeded in that direction,
accompanied by the assistant of Mr. Baker, the divisional sur-
geon, and several officers, and on reaching Wick-lane, leading
to Old Ford, he met four men carrying the body of another who
was perfectly insensible, and appeared to be dead. By direction
of the surgeon he was taken -to the nearest public-house, and
restoratives having been administered, after a long interval
he partially recovered, and stated that while seated on the
coping-stone of a bridge over a branch of the canal running
to Twig Folly, he observed five or six men conducting them-
selves in a very disorderly manner, two of whom, on approach-
ing him, exclaimed, " Now we'll have ab— lark," and
immediately seized him by the legs and pitched him over into
the water. Being unable to swim he instantly sank, and could
not tell by what means he was rescued from his perilous situa-
tion. The injured man was then conveyed to the station-
house upon a stretcher, and the prisoners having arrived soon
after in custody, he immediately identified them as the most
active of his assailants. The witness added that the poor man
had since suffered a relapse, and was now lying in the work-
house of the Stepney Union in such a precarious state that
there was scarcely any hope of his recovery.
A medical certificate was handed to the magistrate, which
stated, in substance, that the man was suffering from extreme
exhaustion, and that his life was in great danger.
Police-constable K 222 stated that, from information he had
received, he proceeded with other officers to the Three Colts at
Old Ford, and found the prisoners, with five other men, play-
ing at quoits, six of whom were captured, but the seventh
leaped a wall and escaped. On being identified by Howell as
two of his assailants, the prisoners made no observation, and the
other four not being recognised were at once liberated.
In answer to the charge the prisoners admitted having been
all the morning in the neighbourhood, but positively denied
having taken any part in the outrage, and requested the magis-
trate to hear the evidence of the persons who were with them in
confirmation of their statement.
Mr. BaouGsfrow said that such evidence was wholly inad-
missible, as it would be his duty, if the unfortunate man died,
to commit the prisoners upon the charge of wilful murder, and
it was impossible at present to say to what extent the proposed
witnesses might be implicated in the transaction. He should
order the prisoners to be brought up again on Monday next,
and the sergeant must ascertain whether Howell was in such
a state as to require the immediate attendance of a magistrate
,o take his dying deposition, and communicate the result
t loss of time.

- The line, which will be about forty-eight miles in length, will com-
mence at Bristol, and proceed to the Aust Passage, there crossing the
proposed bridge to Beachley, it will run northward along the valleys
of the Wye and Monnow by Chepstow, Tintern Abbey, and Mon-
mouth to Hereford, which city will form the other terminus of the
line. At Hereford the direct chain of communication to Liverpool
will be completed by the lines now projected between those places.
It is obvious that this route will furnish to the west and south-west
of England the best and most direct means of communication not
only with Liverpool and the north of England, but with Dublin and
the.north of Ireland.

ETON COLLEGE REGATTA.
This annual festival attracted, as upon all former occasions, a
great number of distinguished families to Windsor and Eton yes-
terday. As soon as " absence" had been called at the college, the
whole of the school, now amounting to between 700 and 600,
dashed off to the Brocas, where the most admirable arrangements
had been made, under the superintendence of Luttrell (ma.) the
captain of the boats, for the accommodation of the numerous corn.
pany there assembled, and the prevention of accidents.
Shortly after seven o'clock, all the necessary preparations haring
been completed, the three " upper" and four " lower boats" of the
college left for Surley Hall in the following order :

which fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking will prove a
profitable investment of capital, as well as an advantage and conve-

The promoters have not been unmindful of the projected line of the

whereby the formation of that portion of the lino San, consistently
with the interests of this undertaking, be left to that Company, a

ESCAPE OF A CONVICT.—On Monday morning
four convicts were removed from the Lewes House of Correction
in custody of two turnkeys, by way of the London and Brighton
Railway. On arriving at the London-bridge terminus three of
them asked permission to retire for a few minutes, in order to
which, one of them was unhandcuffed from his companion and left
in charge of one turnkey, while the other three were absent with
the other turnkey. The convict thus left behind was named
Biddle. He had, when a youth, enlisted in the 12th Lancers,
from which he deserted, and on being afterwards captured and em-
barked for Ireland to join the regiment, when the vessel was nearly
two miles from shore, he jumped overboard and swam back. 13
months ago he was tried at Lewes, and sentenced to 12 months'
hard labour, for obtaining goods under false pretences. The im.
prisonment had just expired, when he called on his mother, who
was acting as monthly nurse to the lady of the Rev. Mr. Morgan,
of Piecomb, and carried off four of the Rev. Gentleman's spoons ;
for this offence he was tried at the East Sussex quarter sessions a
fortnight ago, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. During
his stay in Lewes gaol, we understand that he has feigned illness,
and in consequence of this, it appears, the turnkey might have
been rather less careful of him than he would otherwise have been.
The turnkey himself states that he had turned his head but for
a second, and that on again looking round the prisoner was gone.
He had seized the opportunity of mixing with the crowd, and
effected his escape. The handcuftls were still on one of his wrists
when he slipped off. _ _

CORONER'S INQUEST.—An adjourned inquQst was
on Tuesday held before C. J. Carttar, Esq., at the Unicorn, Horse.
ferry-road, Greenwich, on the body of Antonio Dermeneck, who
died on board the Seamen's Hospital ship Dreadnought. After an
extended inquiry, the Coroner said that all they had to inquire into
was the cause of the death of the deceased, which was satisfactorily
accounted for by the evidence of Mr. Brisk. The jury returned a
verdict" That the deceased died from natural causes."

N" ENVEL OPE.
In consequence of the great variety of counterfeit Envelopes
of ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, and other disreputable means resorted
to by unprincipled individuals for imposing on the public their highly
pernicious compounds under the title of " KALYDOR," the Pro-
prietors and sole Preparers of the Original and Genuine Preparation,
acting under a sense of duty, and regardless of expense in the attain-
ment of their object—the protection of the public from fraud and
imposition, have employed those celebrated artists, Messrs. Perkins,
Bacon, and Ce., who have succeeded, at great cost, in producing from
a steel plate a NEW ENVELOPE of exquisite beauty.
It comprises a highly-finished Engraving of the Grecian Graces
standing on a classic pedestal, on each side of which is a rich pro:-
fusion of flowers springing from an elegant cornucopia ; these taste-
fully blending with Arabesque-scrolls and wreaths, encircle the Royal
Arms of Great Britain, surmounting the words

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—The annual
festival of the foundation of this hospital was celebrated on Tuesday
in the great room of the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-strcet. Lord
Morpeth took the chair shortly after six o'clock, and grace having
been said by the Rev. Dr. Stebbing, the company commenced
operations on the good things placed on the tables by Messrs. Bathe
and Breach. The Noble Chairman was supported on the right
and left hands by Lord Robert Grosvenor and Dr. Lushington. In
addition to the table's occupied by the Christian visitors there was
a table exclusively for gentlemen of the Hebrew nation, at which
were Sir Moses Montefiore, Sir Isaac Goldsmid, and about forty
more of the same belief. The •tinner at this table was furnished by
Mr. Liefman, the celebrated Hebrew cook of Goodman's- fields.
Upon the removal of the cloth the " Non nobis" was sung by
Messrs. T. Cook, Chapman, Hobbs, and Hawkins, after which the
usual loyal and appropriate toasts, the health of the chairman, &c.,
, were drunk with the accustomed honours. The subscriptions an-
nounced by the treasurer were unusually liberal, amounting in the
aggregate to nearly 7001. It appears that the number of recipients
of the benefits of the charity is every year between 15,000 and

16,000, of whom 1,400 are in-patients and 350 women in child-
birth, who are attended at their own habitations. The funds of the
hospital are in a wholesome state ; but, as they depend on the active
benevolence of the public. and, as the public are generally benefited
by the hospital, it is both charitable and politic for the public to be
liberal in their contributions to the funds.
ALLEGED INFANTICIDE.—On Tuesday Mr. Bedford
held an inquest at the Red Lion, Princes-street, Westminster, on
the body of a newly-born female child, which was found by a young
tied up in

minster-bridge. Dr. Wright, who had examined it, said it was a
full-grown child, and he was of opinion that it was born alive, and
had died from want of proper attention at the birth. Verdict,
" Found dead."
DEATH ON THE WEDDING DAY.—The following
melancholy occurrence took place on Monday last, at Glossop :
Mr. John Rusley, an independent gentleman of Glossop, verging
on the allotted period of "three-score years and ten," and wearied
with single blessedness, accompanied by a blushing bride, who num-
bered sixty summers, repaired with a gay wedding party, consisting
of the bride's fair daughter,:Mrs. Hurst, &C., to Manchester, in order
to be joined together in holy matrimony. The vows were regis-
tered at the altar, and the nuptial knot tied, and all went "merry
as a marriage bell." The bride and bridegroom, after spending a
day of bliss at Manchester, returned home to Glossop, where they
arrived with the shades of evening. On Mr. Rusley retiring to
rest he complained of a severe pain in his head, and continued to
grow worse, and, some alarming symptoms appearing, two sur-

AN INCURABLE COMPLAINT.—The Royal Albert
and Victoria yacht is still on the sick list. She was recommended
sea-bathing some time back, but she shook so violently when she
went into the water, that it was thought that the remedy would be
the death of her. She has been laid up at Portsmouth ever since,
and great fears are entertained whether she will ever recover the
shoek.—Punch.

I THE FATAL DUEL A T GOSPORT.
PORTSMOUTA, JUNE 4.—yesterday a jury was impannelled by
John William Cooper, Esq., Coroner for the borough of Ports.
mouth, at the Guildhall, for the purpose of inquiring into the
death of James Alexander Seton, late of the I Ith Hussars. alleged
to have died from wounds received in a duel with Lieut. rrawkey
of the Royal Marines, many erroneous accounts of which have
been industriously circulated ; no two of them agreeing in the
causes which led to the unfortunate duel, nor in the particulars
with respect to the subsequent conduct and condition of the parties.
The jury was composed of the most respectable inhabitants of
Portsca and Portsmouth, William Grant, Esq., banker, being
foreman.

Mr. Jenkins, of Glsport, and Dr. Allan, of Haslar, were then
sworn as medical witnesses; but before proceeding 10 view the
body,

Mr. W. Minchin, of Portsca, solicitor, requested, on behalf of the
widow and the executors of the deceased, to be allowed to attend
and wateh the proceedings, in order that the ends of justice might
be answered.
The CORONER made no objection, but said he must restrict him
to a certain extent : he could allow of no address to the jury.
Mr. Field, of Gosport, solicitor, said he had been instructed by
the friends of two gentlemen at present absent, and whose names
were associated both by public reports and the public press with
this transaction, to attend this inquest and watch the proceedings
on their part, and he apprehended that there a ould be no objection
to his attending with a view to protect the interests of those gen-
tlemen, which had been committed to his care.
The CORONER said he should permit it with the same restriction
he had imposed on the other party.
Mr. Joah Bates Wakefield said he was a connexion of the unfor-
tunate deceased, and he felt it to be his duty to attend this inquiry,
in order to watch the proceedings on the part of the relatives and
friends of the deceased. On landing at Portsmouth a summons had
been put into his hands to appear here as a witness, and it had
therefore become necessary for him to obtain the assistance of a
professional friend (Mr. Minchin), to attend here with him ; and he
would vow that in attending there was no ill•feeling whatever on
tine ',art of--
The CORONER here stopped the speaker, and said he could allow
of no address of that kind.

The jury then proceeded to view the body, accompanied by

who resided at 4, Queen'sderrace, Scuthsea, and was formerly of

deceased heard the declaration of the medical men. The reason why
that opinion was given was in consequence of witness's wife
and himself having seen deceased ; and the inedioal
man stated—" Your life is in my hands, and you must implicitly
obey my directions, not to sea any one without my consent." Dc-
ceased stated to witness," 1 understand the medical men will not
be able to Foncunee me out of danger until a certain day." Wit-
ness then said to deceased—" You have a very long sickness before
you, and you must keep yourself quiet." In answer to witness's
advice to him not to talk, deceased said, " Do you really think so ?"
I believe the injury was received on the Tuesday, and I saw him
' . C - "IV i -i. night of Monday fortnight (the 19th of Mal), at the Lona. ,
which took place every Monday evening. Dancing was going •ii
on that evening. Nothing, to his knowledge, occurred on the
evening in question. Was not aware that any quarrel took place
on that evening; on the contrary, Mr. Scroll and Mr. Hawkey ap.
peared on very good terms. Mr. Hawkey and Mr. Seton were very
friendly, and almost every day at the rooms together. Mr. Hawkey
had not been to the room since the evening of the 19th of May.
To the best of his belief Mr. Seton left the rooms on that night
first. Mr. Hawkey left the same evening about five minutes past
twi lve o'clock. Mr. Seton left the rooms alone. Mr. Hawkey
asked witness if the ball which was intended to take place on the
Tuesday week following
would be a good one, and said It had been
a very agreeable soirée that evening. There was a card-room ad.
joining the ball-room. On the Monday evening no cards were
being played. On the night in question about twelve gentlemen
went into the card-room, which was also used as a retiring-room
when parties wished to have any conversation. Among the
number who used the room on the night in question were Mr.
Seton and Mr. Hawkey, wha were left by themselves; this was
about eleven o'clock. They were not joined or interrupted by any
one. I,V,tness remained close to the roam in which Mr. Seton and
Mr. Hawkey were the entire evening, with the exception of short
intervals. A door separated the card-room from the ball-room,
which was closed during the lime Mr. Seton and Mr Hawkey were
in conversation. Witness could not hear any talking or anything
that passed._ They remained in the card-room about ten minutes.
Witness was present when they left. Mr. Hawkey was seated on
a sofa near the exit-door when Mr. Seton left the room, at which
time Mr. Seton addressed some words to him in a low tone, but
which the witness did not catch. Mr. Hawkey did not speak.
Mr. Pym was sitting by the side of Mr. Hawkey at the time,
but did not speak. Mr. Pym is also a subscriber and a
constant attendant at the King's Rooms. Witness had not
seen Mr. Pym since the evening of Monday, the 19th of May.
Mrs. Hawkey was present on the night of the 19th inst. Witness
did not see her dance. The King's Rooms are under the manage-
ment of stewards. On the evening in question, Lieutenant-A Won;
of
tant Savage, of the Royal Marines Artillery, was steward

MURDER IN GIBRALTAR.—An atrocious murder
was committed at Gibraltar, on the 21st May, 1845. About one
o'clock, while a party of convicts were at work in the house that
is now building for Sir John Sinclair, at the South, one of them,
named Thomas Anson, was reprimanded by the overseer, Mr.
Samuel Walter, for neglect of duty, and told that if he was not raore
attentive he should be reported to the chief superintendent, Mr.
Armstrong. On hearing this, the convict followed his victim some
yards with a knife in his hand, and seized a small crow-bar, with
which he struck the overseer a severe blow en the back part of
the head, which extensively fractured the skull, and pro-
duced instant death. The villain then rushed out in an excited
state, saying to his fellow prisoners, " I have killed Mr. Walter, by
God, and would serve any other fellow in the same manner that
would dare to scold and collar me like Walter did ;" at the same
time he held up a glazier's putty.knife covered with blood. He
was immediately secured, and conveyed to the convict yard, where
he was placed in safe custody to await the coroner's inquest, which
took place at four P.M., and the jury returned a verdict of
" Wilful Murder " against Thomas Anson, the convict, who was
afterwards conveyed to the provost prison, to await his trial at the
ensuing sessions.
VIDOCQ IN LONDON.—Mons. Vidocq, for many
years the celebrated " Chef de la Police de Suretk" in Paris, has,
on his arrival in this country, opened an exhibition of rather an
extraordinary character, at the Cosmorama in Regent-street. The
exhibition consists of several and rather heterogeneous materials.
In the first place Mons. Vidocq offers to the public inspection
various instruments of torture and manacles which were used by
him in the coercion of criminals, or against him w hen he was a
prisoner at the instance of the French Government. In this de.
partment of the exhibition are also inclnded the different disguises
Vidocq used to wear in order to effect the arrest of prisoners, and

selection of paintings of the Byzantine, Italian, and Flemish
schools, many of which are extremely curious and interesting.
The third portion of this exhibition will probably be thought by
most visitors to offer the greatest attractions. It is a collection of
imitated tropical fruits, executed with such perfection that it would
puzzle the best judges of horticulture to distinguish them from the
real productions of nature. This collection comprises 60 varieties,
and more than 4,000 specimens. M. Vidocq, who is now 72 years
of age, but scarcely appears mere than 50, attends personally, aid
politely explains to the visitors the different objects comprised in
the exhibition. A visit to this singular collection will amply repay
the curiosity of all who take interest in subjects of this nature.
