Had adequate and just protection been' afforded
to the harvest of mental culture, ,as it is, we
think, wisely under existing circumstances .to the
harvest of agricultural cultivation, 'Miss Martineau
would have been now enjoying coinpetence, and, in all
probability, health. As it has - not been given, she
has been compelled to taste of the hardships, though
apparently she does not feel the bitterness, of poverty.
Something, it is true, has been done to remedy the
defects of our law of. copyright. That something is,
we fear, but little that will benefit -.authors such as
Miss Martineau. The great want ;;thern. is a law
of international copyright—a law which will suppress
literary piracy in the United States, and put an end
to literary smuggling from Belgium and France.
Sir Robert Peel aspires to be • the friend—we will
degrade neither the Premier nor authors by
.writing
the patron—of literature. He has now an -opportunity-
of 'establishing his 'claim to that friendship. Let him
urge On foreign States the justice and the necessity of
suppressing the. piracy of letterS, and attempt at least
to place the laws of Europe and America, with respect.

THE- BANK PARCEL ROBBERY.-At the Hull Ses-
sions on Thursday, Francis Fortune, late cashier of
the Agricultural Bank at Hull, was found guilty of
having stolen a parcel containing 8701., in bank notes,
which he had been entrusted to take to the Post-office
at Hull to send to York in July last.
.He was sen-
tenced to be transported for seven years.

Dr. 'Errs came forward to propose the second re-
solution or toast. It was as follows-:—" May the
Queen remove from. her - councils and offices of state
all those who restrict and *Misapply our countrz'sfre-
sources, and call to her aid those only who will ex-
tend to the people the full measure of their rights."
Having borne testimony to the unceasing exertions of
Mr. Duncombe, the guest of the evening, in the cause
of the people, he proceeded to say that the resolution
which he had to propose recommended itself strongly
to the attention of the meeting. He believed, that the
present Government had been placed in its present
disgraceful position by the still more disgraceful con-
sequences of the 'proceedings of the late Ministry—
(Cheers, and cries of " No")—for he believed that the
AdMinistration of Lord Melbourne had done all in
their power to prevent the people from obtaining
their rights.—(Renewed cries of " No," and cheers.)
He believed that Sir 'Robert' Peel's Gaerninent
had done more for the people than that which
preceded it, and however unwilling they might
be to give it support, they must pause before they
utterly condemned it.—(Cheers.) They were not
the men, it was true, to whom they -could give un-
bounded confidence, and they must look to the result
of their exertions to secure Ministers more in accord-
ance with their views.—(Hear, hear.) The honoured
guest of the evening (Mr. DuncOmbe) was, he
thought, a great thorn in'the side of the Government.
—(Cheers.) He might be a polished thorn,_ but the
wounds which he inflicted were, therefore, the sharper.
—(Hear, hear.) If they wished to realise the results,
which the resolution proposed they should gain, it
was such representatives as Mr. Duncombe whom
they should return to serve in Parliament; and if all
boroughs would adopt the course which they had
taken, he was -convinced that through the exertions
of such men they would not be long before they ob-
tained the' rights which they now upheld.--(Cheers.)
They
.had amongst them one' who 'was in every way
deserving a seat in "the Commons House of Parlia-
ment, and, should they have the opportunity, he had
no doubt that they would return their worthy Chair-
man, the author of the Corn-law Catechism.
Mr. HODGKIN Spoke in Support. of -the resolution.
He said that it embodied a sentiment to which it re-
quired little from Lim to fix their attention ; and he
was onlyafraid that, in eildeivonring to'carry it out,
they should- have to look very far before they could
find statesmen who should be able and willing to
carry the wish which was expressed into effect.—
(Hear, hear.) -So far as his own observation taught
him, all those who had been entrusted with political
power were men more interested . in securing their
own aggrandisement and that of their friends,
and in promoting their - own views; than in
contributing to the promotion of the public pros-
hear)—and before they could hope
to have better statesmen, he believed that they 'must
improve the educational syStein of the community at
large.—(Hear.) Before they 'could hope to secure
their rights they must learn to 'know what they were.
It was, therefore, with much pleasure that he saw in-
stitutions such as those which were rising throughout
the country, the great object of which was the pro-
motion of political knowledge amongst the people.
When the people knew what their rights were, they
would not be long before they attained them.—
(Hear, hear.) • The resolution wa.s received with loud
applause.
The CHAIRMAN said that' he had now come to the
most grateful part of the evening's celebration, which
was to speak on 'the immediate cause of. their assem-
blage.—(Cheers.) They had met ' together to do
honour to ,a man who had represented the community
to which they belonged in Parliament with integrity,
with courage, and with energy.—(Loud cheers.)
Other 'constituencies might meet together, and might
have a lively consciousness of 'future favours, or a
recollection .'of past gifts—of feasti, or more solid re-
muneration 'for suppOrt, but in this case there was
nothing of the kind. In this instance they had met
to do honour to a man, merely because he had served
them faithfully and honestly.—.(Cheers.) There was
no 'scene of fashion or of greatness to which his honour-
able friend might not aspire ; but he had taken a more
liberal course-4e had' faithfully served his country-
men in their battles for freedom.—(Cheers.) It would
would' be, going over that Which. they all knew,
unnecessarily, if he . attempted to- give th,em
a history of all . the occasions .on which
their respected representative had served them'
in Parliament.—(Lbud cheers.) When, he would
ask, was the' popular cause uuserved when
he was present ?—(Hear, hear.) When was it that
a man who suffered oppression did not receive his'
support when he 'possessed the power to•e-xert himself
on his behalf ?—(Hear, hear.) HiS Hon. Friend
was an aristocrat by birth—he 'looked like One—
(Hear, and a laugh)—but he had shown them that
that was no reason why those of lOwlyhirth should
not receive his cordial comfort and support.—(Cheers.)
He (Col. ThompS6n) would not rest longer on his
good deeds, but he would bring forward Mr. Dun-
combe—an honest man and a brave ; and he called
upon them 'all—men and women too--7-for Mr. Dun-
combe , was a gallant gentleman—(Loud cheers)—bo
give him' such a reception as in their hearts' they
thought he deserved.-.--(Lond cheers.) The chair-
man concluded by proposing the following resolution:
—" Our invited guest, T. S..Duncombe, Esq., a le-
gislator regardless of party or faction, who, having
espoused just principles, has honestly stood forward
in Parliament the advocate • of his oppressed, and Of-
fering countrymen. May he continue to pursue the
same manly, just, and prudent course, till the rights'
of the millions are won, And their wrongs redressed."
Mr: DUNCOMBE having presented' himself at the
front of the platform, was received with loud and long-
continued cheering. He said—The 'high and distin-
guished compliment which you have this evening been
pleased to pay to the humble parliamentary services
of the individual who has now the honour of addressing
you, calls' for the utterance of 'grateful sentiments
which I very much fear I am . not able to, express, at
all events in that style .of language which your kind-
ness demands,. and my 'own feelings lead me ' to ern-
ploy.—(Cheers.) have often heard it said that
popular favour and public esteem" are, after all, but
transitory and capricious ; and that those whom it
pleaseth the people to honour to-day, they turn their
backs on to-morrow ; but I believe such to be' a libel
on the people.—(Hear, hear.) It will be invariably
,found that, whenever the people have withdrawn their
confidence from a public man, such Conduct has
been jiistified, 'and the desertion has been merited
by the man having, 'for his own private purposes,
and for personal objects, -given up the cause. of the
people.—(Cheers.) At all events, I can Say, that
since I have had the honour of a. seat. -in' Parlia-
ment, public confidence and popular esteem haVe 'uni-
formly been mv 'lot; *Old I believe that . so tong asl
perseverein that course which I marked out for My-
, self on my first entrance into public life, that esteem
and that confidenCe will not be denied me.-:-(dal.,
hear.) I must confess that I am proud to stand here
beholden to no Minister for protection—indebted to
no Court for its favourCheers)—conscious that
though I have not merited your kindness thiS even-
ing, I have never done anything to , forfeit your con-
fidence and esteem.—(Cheers.) impossible for
any one to look at the prOsent stale of political feel-
ing.in this - country,' aid of political parties in this
country, without some feeling of QUID() and of regret.

I know that much of it-is to be attributed to the dis-
appointment which has been occasioned to the people
by the inefficiency of, the measure of Reform, carried
in 1832—an inefficiency which has been - proved by
the facility with.whiele the present Tory Government
has forced itself into a power, which they seern•to
glory in exercising over the few remaining rights
and privileges of the people.--(Hear, .hear.) We
are now .reaping the fruits of that change of
Government. Much blame is due, and justly due, to
the Whigs for their conduct. They were told, when
they were in the.zenith of their power, that they were
not then malting the best of their time—that the re-
form which had been - effected was incomplete; and
that it was their duty to render it at once a complete
and useful measure. They heeded not the warning
which was given to them ; but they talked of finality,
and hung on the skirts of the Court, instead of sup-
porting themselves on the. strong arms of the people.
—(Hear, hear.) And what was the consequence?
Corruption and intimidation were brought to bear
against them, and• at the eleventh hour they .brought
forward measures which were good, perhaps, but
which came too late. They called on the people for
aid—upon the people whom they had neglected; bat
amidst the universal corruption and intimidation used
at the last general election, their cries were unheeded
in the hour of need. They fell ; and I am sorry to
be almost compelled to say they deserved the fall-,
(Cheers)—unpitied and despised by all.—(Cheers.)•
'Well, then, I say, ' we - arese-noiV 'bitterly reaping
the fruits of their misconduct . in -the ' popular
cause.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") I ask you to look
at the last session of Parliament—take it with re.
gard to any party. There never was a session so dis-
creditable to the Tories, so inglorious'to the "Whigs,
and I may say so unsatisfactory to the people. I was
looking this morning at the return of the number of
burs during, which Parliament sat in the course of
the last session, and I find that, from February to
August, they sat 1,008 hours, and 125 of those hours
were after midnight.. Now, what did we do during
those hours ? s They were passed in crimination and
recrimination, between this agriculturist and that
manufacturer—between High'Church and Low Church,
between my Lord John This and Sir Robert That—
(Cheers)—my Lord John reproaching Sir Robert,
and saying, ," You are not satisfied with turning us
out, but you take our measures."—(Cheers.) And
what are those measures, now they have taken them ?
-e--(Hear.) We have got a trumpery Corn Bill, a delue
sive Tariff, and we have got an inquisitorial Income-tax.
—(Cheers.) These are.the great measures which Sir
Robert Peel required five months, to ponder upon,
before• .he proclaimed them to: the world—(Hear,
hear, hear.) But then, what was done with
regard .to the. • people ? Did we not, night
after night, make . representations to the _ ,Go
vernment, and. to the House which. calls . it-
self the representative of the people, :. that
the people of this' country. were starving—were,dying
by hundreds in, the manufacturing districts, and that
it was necessary to afford them some relief, or at- all
events to institute someinquiry,into their condition, '
and the causes of that condition ? Every inquiry was
resisted. We told them that if they persisted .in this
course, they drive the people to desperation—.
that the working and industrious classes were not
prepared to starve and toelie in ditches—that they
ought not and would not submit so to terminate
their existence. ' They heeded not this warning—they
prorogued Parliament,- • and the moment the Queen
had closed our doors; she was compelled . to go home
and sign a proclamation calling on the Magistracy,
and calling out the military; to pat down the people,
because as, Parliament would not help them, they
threatened to help 'themselves. . Some of 'these people'
said, "we had better die at- the point of-the bayonet-
or on the 'scaffold; than be famished and die in
ditches."---(Hear' hear, hear.) Many thousands
were out of employment, and those who, were em-
ployed ' worked' from sunrise to sunset; they were
overworked, but they were under paid, and ' they
could not, get that which the working classes were
quite right to demand—a fair day's wages .for a fair
day's work.-e-(Cheers.) •All the outbreak and insur-
rection 'which neeurred has been attributed to various
causes. Every one tries to shift it from his own
shoulders. One day it is the result of Chartism;' an-
other it is produced by the Anti-Corn-law League.
I believe, however, that neithet was to blame. - Dis-
tress is not the•off'spring of Chartism or of the Anti-
Corn-law League ; but Chartism is the offspring of
the oppression of the poor—the Anti-Corn-law League
is the offspring of -a- base and sordid monopoly ; but
es Chartisin is'the offspring of the oppression of the
poor; the poor have a right' to donand that they at
least should have that voice and that power in the Le-
gislature that they may obtain. some relief.--(Hear,
hear.) Well, then, what is the result ? What is the
conduct of Government with regard to this insurrec-
tion ? The police and the military are put in mo-
tion. The Magistrates, whom Sir James Graham—.
the renegade Graham !—had been so active in ape.
pointing during the previous winter, were let loose
for the. purpose of committing the' unfortunate of-
fenders. I do not mean to say that there were not many
of them guilty of criminal acts, but when you look
to their condition—their impoverished and starving
condition—l say .that some allowance ought to have
been made for the misdeeds in which they'svere unfor-
tunately engaged.—(Hear, hear.) To be sure we.
have had a Judge sent down to' try these men, stating
from the judgmenteseat• that the ' distresses of the
people were vastly exaggerated, ._(" Shame.") 'I
want to know how they can possibly be exaggerated.
—(Cheers.) ' • It showed either -great ignorance or-
great indifference on the part of the Judge to make

aye, even carrion, if they could find it !—that many
of them were glad to cull . the nettles from the fields,
and to put them into Net 'water, to'make something
like broth ! ' Their houses were without furniture—
their hearths without fuel—their bodies without rai-
ment—and yetv these are the persons with reference to
whom. my Lord' Abinger—(cries of " Shame ")
:---has thought
proper to say' the judgment-seat
at Liverpool, that; so far as be was a judge—and a.
pretty judge .he is—their.distresses were greatly ex-
aggerated:—(Hear, hear.) Men not mixing with
ociety, or with the people, might 'possibly make such
a blunder ; 'but Lord Abingee appeared not only as a
judge, but he assumed ~. the . characters- of a
politician and' a legislator, and ' as such it is im-
possible
that he could be ignorant of the
:sad- and lamentable distresses of the poor _
in the
manufacturing districts.—(Cheers.) Not satisfied
with this; however, he makes a most indecent and ,
unconstitutional charge to the Grand Jury. He de-
scribes those of whom he speaks' as " a kind of men.
called Chartists"—(Cheers, hisses, and cries of " He
was a Jacobin")—and he says that this' kind of men
desire that the working classes, who' possess no pro-
perty, should have- the power of voting at the elec-
tions for Members of Parliament, and, in point effect,
that they 'should have fi voice to legislate for those
who have property.--(Hear, ' hear.) Now, that is
the charge which he makes. . FrOM what I have seen
of the Chartists in England, I believe that the bodye
is far More numerous than .either. Lord Abinger er
the Government, or many members of the upper
classes really.imagine.—(Hear, hear.) I believe that
the- opinion in faveur of the document called the
Charter is daily gaining strength in the public mind.
—(Cheers.) ' Every party is calling for reform 'in
some particular branch of the law, and as each finds
the impracticability of carrying out its views, they I
become coneinCed of the necessity of a change, by the
effect of which the House of Commons shall be en-
tirely 'remodelled.-(Cheers.) Lord. Abinger, how-
ever, though he may not have 'possessed the same
'personal acquaintance with the extent of the powers
of the Chartists which I possess, muithave'recollected
the petitions which have beeifpresented.to Parliament
in the course of last year, and the present, year. He
must have recollected the petition of last year, signed
by 1,300,000 persons ; and that of the present year
bearing the signatures of three millions and a-half; and
yet he has the assurance and impudence, I must say,
to say that there are "a kind of men called Chartists,"
who wish to subvert the aristocracy,- to divide pro-
perty, and to overthrow the monarchy.—(Cheers.)- I
have lobked at the' Charter again and again ; but I
can find nothing in it which would sanction an inter-
ference with the rights of the aristocracy—(Cheers)—
nor could I find a .line which indicates a. desire to
overthrowthe - monarchy.--(Cheers.)'What the
people ask is, not that they should have the exclusive
right of legislating, but an equal ehare in the legisla-
tion of the' country,---that their liherties should be
equally protected with those of my - Lord Abinger
(Cheers)—and that the Government of the country
should he placed upon a broad, popular, and secure
basis.(Hear, hear.) 'Well, indeed, may my Lord
Abinger wish that the people should have no greater
power in the House of Commons than they now
possess, for if recently they had possessed that power
which they claim, the House as it would have been
constituted would not have sanctioned that which is
now called the " Scarlett joi),' and the House ' of

Commons thus constituted would have no hesitation
in addressing the Crown for the removal from the
judgment seat of any Judge--who had so disgraced that
high position as Lord Abinger has done in this in-
stance.—(Loud cheers.) I have no doubt that the
. charge delivered by him is well received, that it is
greatly .admired and highly approved of by his
brother renegade, Sir James Graham—(Cheers)—but
when Parliament does meet it is impossible that
this charge, if .made—and I am; .of course, pre-
suming that the charge. is correctly reported in
the public newspapers, and I have not heard the ac-
curacy of the report doubted—but I say that it is
impossible that this charge, whether'in the wordg or
in the spirit in which it is reported, can pass unno-
ticed in the House of Commons. It is impossible
that Parliament can permit a charge, dangerous
,to
the liberties of the people, to, pass uncensured and
un noticed—(Cheers)—and I can only say, that if no
other individual calls the attention of the House to
the subject on its meeting, T feel that I should baselY
betray the trust reposed in me, not only by my own
constituency, but by the working classes, if I did not
call the attention of the House to it.—(Loud cheers.)
Such at all events is the lamentable position in which
public affairs now, stand:---in which that question,
which is the question of questions, I mean the fran-
chise, stands before the public. It stands before the
public thns—that if a man call' himself a Chartist
he to be condemned from the judgment seat
but it rests with-the-people how long this state of
. things shall continue.—(Hear, hear.) Much will
depend on the energy, prudence, forbearance,
but, above all, the cordial union of all classes.
Let us have no more quarrelling and quibbling about
names.—(Hear, hear.) Let us meet the foe openly.
I say that the question of the day is the franchise, and
until that is settled it is in vain, constituted as the
House of Commons is, to look for any other reforms.
—(Cheers.) I know the woi king classes have much
to bear7-they have much to exasperate them, but still,.
with union and energy, they must not despair. lam
well aware that it is possible for the Government, be-
hind the back of Parliament, to strain the law—to
confer upon their police new powers—to appoint hosts
of Magistrates to commit—to hire traitors to betray,
and spies to deceive the unwary. They may also find
pliant Juries to convict, and, they may retain corrupt
political partisans as Judges to, condemn; but if the
people are true to themselves—if they will but stand
within the four corners of the law—Sir James Graham
.and the whole of his renegade crew may yet find
united people who are too strong for them.—(Cheers.)
It is said that the " darkest hour is nearest the dawn."
And, so it is; there is that. elasticity about British
freedom that on all past occasions, when darkness
has most prevailed, it has always emerged from
it with increased splendour and renown.—(Great
Cheering.) • I know that
.you will llot ..surrender
any portion of those privileges which,belong to you,
and which the Government seek to take away.. If
there is anything to which, abOve all other things,
you are entitled, it is the right to hold public meet
'ings ; when that is taken away, be sure -despotism is
in the ascendant. BUt I know' the million would be
prepared, in the 'words addressed to Sir. R. Walpole,
"to die the last of British freemen, rather than live
the first of British slaves.."—(Cheers.) I fear that,
amidst the wrongiunder which this country is suffer-
ing, I have 'wandered too far from the compliment
which you have honoured me by paying me.—
. (Cheers.) Believe me that your kindness this evening
will be remembered to the last hour of my existence ;
and if any reliance can be placed on the word of man,
as you have been pleased to approve of the course
which I have taken, and as by continuing in that
course-I shall continue to merit your approbation, I
beg to assure you, that so long as. it shall please God
to give me health and strength, I.will never swerve , •
from that course.—(Cheering.) Honoured with your .
approbation, encouraged, by your honest, and disinte-
rested cheers, no exertion shall be spared on my part
until, in the words of the first resOlUtion, the'just
rights of the -million are won and their manifold
wrongs redressed.—(lmmense cheering.)
The following resolutions were proposed and se-
conded respectively by Mr. Hetherington, Mr.
Thompson, and Mr. Cleave ; and by Mr. Parry and 1
Mr. Thomas :

"illay'Reformers of all shades of opinion speedily
perceive the necessity for cordiality and union in fa-
vour of the People's Charter--U measure framed to con-
fer..equal political rights, without which there are no
hopes of over obtaining equal political justice."
" May inquiry in pursuit of truth be freed from
all legal trammels ; may the Press beu,nshackled from
its restrictions ; may despotic Judges be deposed, and,
unjust Magistrates be deprived of their arbitrary
power; and May every obstacle to 'the purifying in-
fluences of knbwledge be speedily removed."
The meetirig then broke up at a late hour.

EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH.
At half-past one o'clock on Monday, Colonel R. J. J.
Lacy, Colonel G. Turner, C. 8., Major Strangways,
Captain Palliser, Captain Grant, and a number of
officers of the Royal Artillery, assembled in the'
marshes to witness experiments with a new descrip-
tion of brass gun, invented by Captain Grant, of the
Royal Artillery.
This handsome piece of ordnance has been con-
structed on a different principle from any hitherto
Used, and the result of the six rounds fired to-day have
shown that it is admirably adapted for field-service.
From the diameter of the bore being four inches and
one-sixteenth of an inch, the gun has been denomi-
nated a light 9-pounder. It is so well-proportioned,
however, that it weighs only 10 cwt. lqr. 81b., while
the other 9-pounder guns at present in use weigh 13
cwt., at least, on the average. This is an advantage of
some consideration, and will effect a great saving in
metal, valued at 1831. per ton. But the most import-
ant saving will be attained when used in exercise, and
in field warfare, as there-is a difference of fully four
cwt. less in favour of Captain Grant's brass gun and
carriage; three-and-a-half cwt.. nearly on the gun,
one-half cwt. on the carriage and limber, and 341bs.
less weight of powder when supplied with 48 rounds
of shot and ammunition.
The firing took place on Monday from a range of
1,200 yards, and the first shot was fired at an eleva-
tion of 3 degrees, and 'the recoil was 8 feet 9 inches,
about tho usual distance. The second shot was fired
at an elevation of 3* degrees, and the recoil was then
only 7 feet 9 inches. None of the remaining shots
exceeded in recoil 8 feet 2 inches, and number four only
recoiled 7 feet 2 inches, while the whole of the balls,
with one exception, reached the target, the other hav-
ing fallen about 100 yards short, probably owing to
the taking of the elevation. The saving in powder by
Captain Grant's invention will be very considerable,
being lb. on each time it is fired, his charges being
211bs.,.and the present charge 31bs. for guns of the
same calibre. It was thought by many that the in-
vention would be most likely to fail from too great
and
btkietlchfeeal
recoil, but Captain Grant thas so proportioned the
will
metal, and with such correct judgment, that no fears

CHINESE KITE-FLYING.—Of out-door games aiiiimg
the Chinese, kite-flying is the most popular. • In this
the Celestials excel ; they show their superiority, as
well in the curious construction of their kites, as in
the height to. which they make them mount. By
means .of round holes, supplied with vibrating cords,
their kites are made to produce a loud hummingnoise,
like that of atop. • The ninth day of the moon is a

CORONERS' INQUESTS.
SUSPECTED MURDER.—On Saturday an inquest
was held at the Bridge .House beer-shop, in the Old
Kent-road, on 'a young woman (name unknown),
whose, body, with marks of violence upon it, was
found in the Surrey. Canal.
After a brief inquiry, a juryman remarked that as
there was so much suspicion about the case he thought
it would be advisable to postpone the inquiry, in order,
if possible, to procure further evidence. The body 'of
the deceased, with severe Marks of injury about the
face, had been found, and' it appeared to them (the
`jurymen) that before coming to a decision respecting
Ithe causes of her death, which there were strong
grounds for *supposing to have proceeded from violence,
there onght, if possible, to be further testimony
brought forward.
In this .Viiiriirthe case llie CORONER Coincided,
and the inquest was accordingly adjourned until
Wednesday,. (to-morrow.)
As no persons have yet come forward to identify
the body of the deceased, and as it appears she is
totally unknown in the vicinity of the Surrey Canal,
a description of her dress may lead to a discovery of
who her friends are, and probably tend to bring other
matters to light, bearing .on the future investigation
into the circumstances of her death. When taken out
of the canal her dress was as follows :—A straw bon-
net with plait; trimmed with white riband, and flowers
underneath on each side; a challis gown with green
and white stripes on a buff ground ; nankeen stays,
bosomn agi

pledged: in the name of " A Mayling."
Last evening an inquest, adjourned from Friday
last, was resumed before Mr. Moos, at the One Tun,
Perkins-rents, Gieat Peter-street, Westminster, on
the body of stry Fleary, aged 65.
Mr. Eohn Wright, M.D., of Princes-court, West-
minster, said he had examined the body, but could
pot detect any opium, or appearances of that poison.
The brain was in a very congested state, which might
arise from the action of the poison, mental excite-
ment, or simple apoplexy. , From the morbid appear-
' ances of the other parts of the body he thought the
deceased had taken laudanum, but he could not speak
positively.
John Holland, of No. 36, Bowling-green-lane,
Clerkenwell, the' son-in-law, detailed at great length
the delinquencies of the deceased, and produced 22
duplicates relating to his property, which the de-
ceased had pledged. On Tuesday week last he spoke
to her about it, and the day following, unknown to
him, she left his house, after thrusting a number
of tally bills, duplicates, &c., into the fire, and he had
not seen her since. After her departure he ascer-
tained that she had had tally bills in his name, and
by some means had become security for the loan of Si.
from a Loan Society, 41., of which she had retained
herself. The Secretary of the Society had told him
that if she ever came back he would prosecute her for
a fraud. On Friday. last, he. received the following
letter from the deceased :—" I have ruined myself by
becoming answerable for so many people, and to
drown reflection I have taken to drink to great excess.
—Mary Fleary." He had heard that she had followed
it up by drinking great quantities of brandy and ale.
She was a woman of strong mind, but 'after she left
his house had nothing bat a workhouse or a prison
before her eves. 146 had not the least doubt but she
suffered great mental excitement.
After a long deliberation the Jury returned a ver-
dict—" That the deceased died from congestion of the
brain, hut Whether produced by taking laudanum,
Mental excitement,. or natural causes, there was not
sufficient evidence to show."
A WEALTIIT DEBTOII.—Mr. Payne, the City Co-
roner, held an inquest yesterday afternoon in the
Queen'S,. Bench prison, upon the body of John G.
Hawkins, awed -43, who had been an inmate of the
Bench for the last twelve years.
PrOrn the evidence of his brother, it appeared that
deceased had led a most dissolute and-idle life, and was
at last arrested for a trifling debt of 301., which he ob-
stinately refused to pay, although perfectly able to do
so. During the twelve years of his confinement, he
had spent upwards of 3,0001. in the most reckless
manner. He (the witness) had no doubt that his death
was caused by dissipation. He had requested Mr.
Laws, his family surgeon, to wait upon deceased,
which he did from the 16th till last Saturday, when
he died. Mr. Laws was present, if the Coroner would
examine him. •
A surgeon, who had been, previous to Mr. Law's
attendance, called in to see the deceased,: stood up, and
requested to explain his course of treatment to the
Coroner, as aspersions had been thrown out' by de-
ceased's brother, which, as a professional man, he woUld
not tolerate.

Mr. PAYNE said that Mr. Law's opinion as to the
cause of death would be evidence sufficient to satisfy
the Jury, and. he should therefore feel obliged if the
gentleman would make no further observations.
Mr: Laws gave as; his opinion _ that deceased died
from consumption, brought on by his previous habits
of living. Verdict—" Natural Death."

DEATR.—OR Monday, at Kangaroo Point, Mr.
Urias Allender, one of the oldest inhabitants of this
island. He was 97 years of age, 30 of which he had
served in the Royal Navy with gallantry.and credit,
having been captain of the foretop of Lord Rodney's
ship, the Formidable, in the splendid victory of the
12th April; 1782. He made the adventurous passage
to Sydney with dispatches to Governor King in a
whale-boat upon 'the formation of this colony, for
which he was thanked in public orders. He died of
' the gradual decay of nature.—Anew South Wales Paper.

greater distances. ,I, therefore, had formerly

nally; as in travelling I s9metimes• read, and
often wanted to regard the prospects. Finding' thii
