CORONER'S INQUEST.

MANsLauG llTER.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Payne
held a lengthened investigation at the Duke of Cla-
rence, London-road, on the body of Samuel Nathan,
aged 69, a picture dealer in the Borough-road.
Peter Fdcock, of 3, Neale's-place, Seven Dials,
a porter, said, that on Wednesday, the 23d ult., at
about three o'clock in the afternoon, he was standing
in the passage of Mr. Foster's sale-room, in Pall-
mall. He saw three men, named Mountain, Rason,
and Davy, walking along the passage towards the
sale-room. Rason said,. in witness's hearing, " Let's
go in and ask• Mr. Nathan to have a drop of gin."
Mountain nodded assent, and Rason added, " Give it
him right and left when he comes out." All three
then went into the room, and in a few minutes after-
wards came out again, the deceased following them.
When they all got into the passage, Mountain turned
round and struck the deceased a violent blow on the
right eye, which caused him to fall, and while he was
on the ground Mountain again struck him severely
over the head, and kicked him in the throat, Rason
inciting Mountain to continue the aggression, by
saying,- " Give it kim ;" and Mountain replied,
have his b— liver out." The deceased called out
for assistance, and several gentlemen rushed from the
sale-rOom, lifted, and carried him into the counting••
house. Blood was streaming profusely from his
wounds.—The above evidence was corroborated by a
number of witnesses.

Mr. John Brady, 194, Blackfriars-road, said he was
called in to see the deceased upon Friday week, when
he was in bed. Upon examining his head, he found
a very severe contused wound above the right eye.
He prescribed for him, but gave the family to understand
that there was no hope of his surviving the injuries
received, and he gradually got worse, erysipelas en-
suing, and he died upon Wednesday evening. He
attributed death entirely to the violence received.
The Jury at once unanimously returned a verdict
of " Manslaughter" against Richard Mountain, as
principal, and Thomas Rason as accessory.

THE DUKE OF CORNWALL'S HARBOUR AND
LAUNCESTON RAILWAY COMPANY.—A meeting was
held held yesterday, at the London Tavern, of the
Directors and Proprietors of this Company, John
Rushbottom, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, for the pur-
pose of recording the award in the case of the
Company against Ross, their late secretary. It ap-
peared that Ross had made a claim upon the Company
for about 50,0001., and had kept back some of the ac-
counts, involving the Company in litigation. An ac-
tion was brought against him by the Company, and
the matter was referred to arbitration. The award
read yesterday declared Ross to be indebted to the
Company in the sum of 4901. The award was received,
and ordered to be entered on the minutes of the Com-
pany. The Chairman stated that if the shareholders
came forward, their next meeting would be their last,
as the affairs of the Company would then be wound up.
The meeting then adjourned.
COLLEGE LIFE.—" What is college life ?" the un-
initiated of all grades in town and country have been
asking from time immemorial, and until the fortunate
advent of a certain "Peter Priggins, College Scout
and Bedmaker," they have "paused for a reply" in
vain. But the college life then offered to their inspec-
tion by that inimitable droll was, with all its humour
and oddity, of a rather more circumscribed sphere
than many readers might desire. The same clever
writer (who now boldly avows himself by name), has
therefore, as we understand, in his forthcoming vo-
lumes, entitled " College Life," pitched the tone of
his revelations to the tastes of all classes of readers,
and the result will doubtless be a work "of infinite
jest," that will set more Christmas tables " in a roar,"
than half a dozen Joe Millers.

The rn,pst correct report of the pugilistic contest be-
tween Freeman and Perry will appear in Bell's Life
in London of December 11 ; also the particulars of
the Great Champion Coursing Meeting at Newmarket.
A recently-published census of Van Diemen's Land
to the Ist January gives the following totals':—males,
34,504 ; females, 15,712. " The disproportion of the
sexes," remarks the Australasiatic Revit.w, "is a
grievous calamity."

LONDON :
FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1842.

The Essex Herald compliments us by saying
that our attempt to persuade the farmers, in re-
ference to its statement of pauperism being on the
increase, that the Corn-laws were the causes of
their distress, was " adroitly and skilfully made."
That journal is, however, more complimentary
than correct. It required no great degree of skill
or adroitness to connect the present condition,
both of farmers and labourers, with laws which
obviously destroy the increase and the prosperity
of their best and richest customers. We cannot
repay the compliment by saying that the Essex
Herald has shown adroitness and skill in its
attempt to prove that those laws have not caused
the present lamentable condition of both farmer
and labourer ; it has only displayed great igno-
ftnee or very bad faith.
What can the public think of a journalist who
asserts " that the last harvest was below the ge-
neral average, and below the average (harvest
4437.) of 1841," in order to throw the blame of
the present condition of the agriculturists on Sir
ROBERT PEEL'S puny alteration of the sliding
scale ? We must refuse to credit any public
statements if the produce of the wheat-lands
throughout England and Scotland in 1842,
taking both quantity and quality into considera-
tion, was not nearly one-third better than the
harvest of 1841, and than the average of the
harvests since 1838 inclusive. Why, the whole
empire, both in Parliament and out of Parlia-
ment—aye, even the pulpits—have resounded
with praise of the harvest of 184‘); and for a
journalist now to make a contrary assertion for
an obvious purpose, is more a proof of reckless-
ness than of ignorance.

If the harvest were not, as we described it, a
decent one, what reduced the price of wheat?
Not Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Bill, for under it the
necessary supply of wheat has been introduced
at a duty of Bs., which under the old law was
generally introduced at ls. What has ruined
the speculators in grain, but the unexpected,

MARYLEBONE.

The revision of the registration of electors for the
borough of Marylebone was commenced yesterday
morning at ten o'clock, in the Court-house, Mary-
lebone-lane, Oxford-street, by Mr. Alfred Austin, the
newly-appointed Revising Barrister.
The gross number of objections, Liberal and Tory,
is 1,429 ; and as the total of new claims amounts to
184, it is supposed that the examination of the lists
will occupy some weeks ; the agents of the two poli-
tical parties in the borough—Mr. Greenwood for the
Conservatives, and Messrs. Ivimey and Allen for the
Liberals—seem to have agreed upon a course which
will tend to save time and annoyance to all burgesses,
who have either to claim their suffrages or rebut ob-
jections ; those gentlemen (the agents on both sides)
having agreed to raise no trivial or captious questions
upon technical points, and mutually to admit the no-
tices and other documents put in.
Mr. Austin takes at this Court the cases arising in
the parish of Mar3rlebone, in the five districts of
which the lists of claims and objections stand as fol-
lows :—Claims, Reformers, 25 ; Tories, 38; others,
B—. Total, 71. Objections, Reformers, 246 ; Tories,
361 ; others, 321—Total, 928.
The cases which were decided this morning were
for the most part unimportant. A case where the col-
lector refused to receive the amount of taxes due, be-
cause part of the money. tendered was in light sove-
reigns, although the deficiency was offered in other
coin, the Barrister put the claimant on the list, ob-
serving that, notwithstanding the Queen's proclama-
tion on the subject of the light coin, her tax-collector
could not refuse her coin as a legal tender.

WESTMINSTER.

Yesterday James Standford Taylor claimed to be
registered in respect ola workshop situated at No. 2,
Macclesfield-street.
It appeared from the evidence of the claimant, that
he was a journeyman engraver, and occupied a room
at the top of the house in Macclesfield-street. There
was a bench in the room, on which he worked. He
paid 101. a year rent, and had claimed to he rated.
In cross-examination by Mr. SCORE, the claimant
stated that he would swear the room was worth 101. a
year to the trade, or 6s. a week. The bench in the
room was a fixture.
Mr. SCORE, then addressed the Court at consider-
able length. He contended tlit it was never contem-
plated by the Legislature to give the elective fran-

• ROMANTIC, YET TRUE !
( The Hon. Francis North, subsequently Earl of
Guilfbrd, had a large family. His eldest son, Lord
Frederick North, became Prime Minister to George
the Third : his eldest daughter became the wife of an
1--mble tradesman. Her mother dying when our
~..... - "(ing, she was consigned, with her bro-
heroine was
.'.-mare of a foster-mother, and
ther Frederick, to ILK.
-- -leceased parenteragnr
resided with the relatives of her .. - • "
Grosvenor-square, London, where she :laceir
education befitting her rank. On entering her .......
she became an inmate of Bushy House, the residence
of the Earl of Halifax, whose sisters; the Ladies Mon-
tague, watched over her 3routh. A young man named
Brett, nephew of Sir William Smith, was in the habit
of waiting upon Lord Halifax, then (1748) a Lord of
the Admiralty, and, falling in love with the Honour-
able Miss North, offered her his hand. The offer
was refused by her " friends :" the match was con-
sidered unequal—and she was sent off to Preston, to
prevent further intercourse. While living in Preston,
she received word,that Mr. Brett, supposing she had
gone to France, had set out in quest of her, and was
drowned in crossing from Dover to Calais. Returning
to London, she laid open her griefs to her foster-
mother, and, in the passion of the moment, declared
that she would accept the first offer that was made to
her. Her foster-mother named the circumstance to
her nephew, a young man from Preston, who was re-
siding in London to improve himself as a tradesman.
This young man proposed to Miss North—was mar-
ried to her within three days—and they shortly after-
wards took up their permanent abode in a house in
Fishergate, Preston, now occupied by Mr. Taylor,
seedsman. There she gave birth to twelve children,
one of whom now survives, and still lives in Preston.
Her marriage was never forgiven by her family—
that is, the injured party was never forgiven by those
who had injured her ; for the story of her lover's death
was a cruel forgery. Mr. Brett lived to become
M.P. for Sandwich, and a Lord of the Admiralty.
Ile died unmarried. The daughter of Lord North
and Guilford—his first and only love—died in 1790,
aged 62, her husband having preceded her to the
grave. During her widowhood she was in reduced
circumstances, and obliged to part with her jewellery,
including a valuable ring, presented to her by the
Duke of Marlborough, on his marriage with her
cousin.—Abridged from Me Preston Chronicle.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBPR 21, P 42.

chise to a man occupying an attic of this kind at
101. a yen., where he ate, drank, slept, and had a
board upon which he worked. If that were allowed,
every journeyman mechanic who could sharpen his
tools in the room where he lived would claim to enjoy
the elective franchise. Then, with, regard to the
value, the claimant stated that the place was worth
101.-a year to him, and when pressed as to the weekly
value, he said it was worth 6s. a week to the trade.
Now, the Court decided last year that Ss. 6d. a week
was net equal to 101. a year, and, no doubt, the deci-
sion of the Court was a correct one ; but how was
this room worth 101. a year to the claimant?
because there were fixtures in it, tenant's fixtures,
which augmented the value, and this room was only
worth 101. a year to the trade, because there was a
bench in it on which the trade could work.

Mr. TRoTT, for the claimant, contended that the
Legislature did intend such men as him to have a
vote. The Legislature had put quite a sufficient re-
straint upon men of this class, because they said that
the premises must be worth 101. a year ; and it surely
was not for that Court to go beyond what
the Legislature intended. Now, with regard to the
situation of the premises, did the Legislature
mean that a room of any value, however great, be-
cause it was situated in a particular part of the
house, was not to confer the franchise ? That cer-
tainly never could have been the meaning of the Act,
and he apprehended that Mr. Score would not have
raised the question as to the description of the pre-
mises, had they paid a rental of 401. or 501. a year.
He maintained that this room was a "shop," such as
was meant by the Act of Parliament ; and if it were
not a shop, at any rate it was a " building."
Mr. Score briefly replied; and the Learned Bar-
rister said, in so important a case, he must take
time to consider his judgment.

CLERKENWELL.

Dennis Denny was charged as follows :
It appeared from the evidence of Inspector Penny
that this time twelve months the prisoner was taken
into custody by police constable Chinks, 81 G, in
Gray's Inn-lane, for causing a riot; on that occasion
he kicked the constable so violently as to break his
leg, and the fracture was of so compound a nature
that the constable was crippled for life, and is now on
the superannuated list, at a pension of 10s. a week.
He was tried fur the crime at the Old Bailey, and
sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment,which terminated
a week ago. Last night, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, the prisoner was rioting with other disorderly
persons in Gray's Inn-lane. G 65 took him into
custody, but he knocked him down in a moment :
three other policeman came to his assistance, he lamed
one of them by a kick on the knee, tore the coat off
another, and gave a third a black eye.
Inspector Penny said in all his experience he never
met so violent a ruffian. It took eight men to con-
vey him to the station.

COMBE said the prisoner would hardly cease
his violence on the police until he killed one of them
and was hanged for it. He would sentence him to one
month's imprisonment and hard labour.

further advance in prices has taken place.
This afternoon. there was but a middling demand for

INDIGO.—For InJigo several inquiries have prevailed
both from the home trade and shippers, but the unwil-

but the supply is scanty ; prices are 3d to 44 per lb
higher. Spanish in small parcels has been disposed of st
full rates.

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 21, 1842.

At the Annual E
• PPlng Agricultural Meetin,
on -Friday, the President, H. J. ComrEus, Esq., I
alluded in the following terms, according to the
Essex Herald, to the present condition of- agri-
culture :
Last year I told you I hoped the Corn-laws would
not be altered. I hope, as Sir Robert Peels F!
d
that
he is not a class man, and that he does not looki l otht..
right or to the left, but to the nation at large ; and
I
hope in Leh t he has done we shall not feel ourselves
injured or eeceived. I hope we shall see the cloud
passing by-7--1 can say no more than this, that I hope
we shall see better times, for I consider the present
times very gloomy and very miserable for the agrieur
tural interest ; but within the last week things have got
a little better, and I consider the news which England
has received on the subject of peace with America,
one of the greatest things for this nation; for if we
had l'cen obli,..;ed to. go to war with that country
where should.We have been then ? I hope Sir Robert
Peel has.done what he thought right for the good of
the nation
,and that what he has done will be found
to have that (-Feet. I hope Providence—fur as I said
to fir Robert reel, we have two P's, Providence and
Peel—l hope Providence will give prosperity to the
lauded interest, and that I shall have the happiness of
meeting you next year underibetter circumstances.
There is testimony, then, to the fact that the
landed interest is beginning to grumble. The
injury itr-has done, to others is now returning
into its own boamn. Its calamities, however, are
only beginning. The hopes entertained by. Mr:
CONYERS, that things are getting a little better,
are dashed to the ground by the fall in Monday's.

UNION-HALL.

John King and Edward Williams, medical students,
were charged with furiously driving and endangering
the lives of the passengers. . _

The defendants were observed in the Brixton-road
in a chaise, which they were driving at a most furious
rate. They ran the vehicle on the foot-path, to the
great danger of women and children, and afterwards
drove the chaise against a lamp-post, which it
smashed, and both the defendants were thrown out,
one of whom (Williams) sustained some severe con-
tusions on the head and body. They were both tipsy.
The defendants said that they had been dining out,
and on their return the horse ran away with them,
and they lost all control.
The MAGISTRATE gave the defendants a severe lec-
ture on the folly of their conduct, and adjudged them
to pay the expenses attendant on the damage done to
the lamp-post, amounting to 21. 17s. 6d.
John Reeves and William Millar were charged with

horsewhipping the toll-collector in the Borough-road.
Last evening the defendants came up to the above
ztte in a chaise cart, and endeavoured to pass through
without paying the toll. The collector, however,
seized the reins of the horse, and held it, saying that
he should not let go until they paid the toll, upon
which Millar began to Clog him as well as the horse,
and, but for other assistance arriving, they would have
got away.—The defendants were fined 10s. each. ya
London, England, 1842-09-21

Laurie said he considered that the Union, both with
respect to the officers and the guardians was much to
be condemned. It was to vindicate the board from
this imputation that the three gentlemen above ap-
peared.
Sir PETER LAURIE said he would prove to their
satisfaction that this union was the worst regulated
in London. He had in his hand a return made to
him from the keeper of I3ridewell, from which it ap-
peared that from the West London Union, 359 pri-
soners had been committed in one year, while in the
same period, from the other unions, they did not ex-
ceed TOO. He had been extremely lenient in his re-
marks upon the guardians, until one remark from the
master, which was when he recommended that the
men who were refractory should be put upon low
diet, that if he did so the others would feed him better
than before out of their own portions. "Now," con-
tinued I, " that is very bad management. Why do
you not put them into solitary confinement ?"
Mr. Wells—We are nct allowed to do this—we
flare not do it.

Mr. Williams—This man, Homer, considers you.
Sir Peter, best friend, as you aiv ays discharge
him. The other day when he came back he made the
whole Union refractory.
Sir PETER LAURIE—Bread and water is the best
punishment.
Mr. Wells—Reports have gone the rounds of the
papers, Sir Peter, of your having said that the guar-
dians were to blame,,and that the officers were bad.

Sir P. LAURIE—trOM investigation I have made I
think the charge of drunkenness wps unfounded, and
I find you have a very unthankful office to perform.
Mr. IVells—As your impression is removed, Sir
Peter, that is all we want.
Sir P. LAURIE said he had been mistaken, and be
was sorry for the trouble he had given the guardians

FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1842.

When Lord PALMERSTON sai4, that " a mer-
chantman could not exempt himself from being
searched by merely hoisting a piece of bunting
with the United States' emblems and colours
upon it," he at once insulted a vain and powerful
people, and ran counter to all the acknowledged
codes of maritime law. Indeed, he admits, in
the same sentence, that " British cruisers are
not entitled, in time of peace, to search mer-
chant vessels sailing under the American Rag;'
but he insists on the right of Great Britain to
ascertain by search whether a vessel is entitled or
not to hoist the American flag. This claim is a per-
_ _

fectly new one, now made for the first time by tue
- - - --

British Government; and as even those Journa-
lists who follow Lord PALMERSTON'S lead begin
to express great anxiety lest that claim should
lead to war, it is incumbent on them to examine
its foundations, and see that they be Laid in
usage as well as justice.
It may, in some cases, be true that the A me-
rican flag is " nothing more than a bit of bunt-
ing hoisted in fraud to cover villainy," but in

many other cases it is not so, and there is no
means by which a naval officer can be quite
sure, even after boarding a ship, much less be-
flwe he has brought her to, whether that bit of
hunting conceals a villain or designates a true
man. In the great majority of cases—for there
cannot be- as many vessels which falsely as
truly hoist the American flag—the bit of
bunting will designate a true man, and to stop

im on the high seas is contrary to the law of

nations. To act on Lord PALMERSTON'S rule must
of necessity, therefore, make us, in our anxiety
to catch the villains, injure and insult, in the
majority of cases, the true American mer-
chantman. That will not be borne in America ;
and we conclude that there is, as the Globe
says, no way of avoiding war but to recede from
the position taken up by Lords ABERDEEN and
PALMERSTON.

also submitted that the evidence given with respect to

that he was an agent to be paid by a commission on what

that the Itibourer's share of the produce must be greatly
increased, how is it possible that a single acre can -be
thrown out of cultivation?—(Hear, hear)—but if this ar-
gument is used, then I say, the sooner the whole empire
is turned into pasturage the better. I think I have said
enough to prove that high prices are not so very neces-
sary to the farmers as some are apt to imagine.—
(Cheers.) But I tell you more, that in 1836, when wheat
was selling at 365. per quarter, we did well ; but that
since then—in 1839, for example—with wheat at 725. per
quarter, just double what it was in 1836, farmers in East
Lothian, myself amongst them, actually lost money. We
did not grow grain sufficient for our rents and expenses ;
the additional quantity wanted must be made up ; the
higher the price the worse for the tenant. So much for
the benefit of high prices to us tenant-farmers, who pay
corn-rents. Steady markets are of far more importance
to us, than high prices with violent fluctuations ; but
which will never be obtained till the market of Britain
is thrown open to the world.
The resolution was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. WALLACE, of Kelly, M.P. for Greenoek, next
addressed the meeting, and concluded an able and elo-
quent speech, for which we cannot now find room, by
exhorting the meeting to acknowledge themselves out-
and-out repealers—(Great cheering)—no compromise—
'no Bs. fixed duty.—(Hear, hear.) He did not say, as
a Parliament man, that he would not take the best he
could get, and look for more • but don't let those pre-
sent do that. (The lion. Member sat down amidst great

THE FRENCH COMPANY IN
LONDON.

Mr. Mitchell, of whom it was lately announced that
he was busily engaged on the Continent, in enrolling a
company for the French plays, which are to be per-
formed at the Prince's Theatre, King-street, St. James's,
has now made known the result of his exertions in a
neat little prospectus. In the list of artistes which it
sets forth as having been engaged by Mr. Mitchell are
several of the most distinguished names that adorn the
stage of our neighbours.
The chief names are—Mademoiselle Dejttzet, Made-
moiselle Plessy, Mademoiselle Forgeot, M. Bouffe, M.
Cartigny, M. Perlet. The first of these has never before
appeared in London, although few hare not heard of, if
not seen, the finished and original actress of the Palais
Royal, so distinguished for her exquisite naivete and dry
humour.

One of the pieces in her repertoire is Les Premieres-
Armes de Richelieu—a piece which is known to us
under the title of Foreign Affairs; and indeed
many of eur soi-disant dramatic authors, thanks
to Mr. Mitchell, will hare the pleasure of seeing
the otioinals of their productions. Mademoiselle
Plessy, from the Francais, has already visited us; she is
the successor of Mademoiselle Mars, in whose parts no
other actress has succeeded without suffering from the
comparison. Iler handsome and expressive physiognomy,
together with her graceful and imposing presence, lend
themselves equally to the expression of tenderness or
coquetry. The Directrice of the company is Mademoi-
selle Forp eot, a very pretty and interesting vaudeville
actress. 71)to name will be read with more anticipated de-
light by the lovers of French plays than that of Bouffe,
in every respect most accomplished, imbued with all the
humour of a Potier. Of Cartigny, a solid old actor from
the Froacais, and Perlet, we need say but little, as they
are well known in this country. This engagement is re-
presented to be his (Perlet's) final one, ere he retires
from the stage, and with him the season will commenee.
The first bill will be the Bourgeoise Gentilhomme and
CArnbasstadeur.
