GLasoow, Oct. 28.—0 n Monday afternoon took place the funeral
of one of the soldiers of that gallant corps, the 78th regiment, whose
fine martial appearance has cached tie general admiration of the citi.
tens. His remains were conveyed to the Calton burying.ground with
the usual military honours. The death of the deceased, on the day ot
the arrival of the depot from Stirling, was strikingly sudden. He was
standing beside the corpse of a serjeant of the 26th regiment (whose
stature was six feet three inches) when suddenly a blood vessel burst,
and life was almost instantaneously extinct.
ROYAL Scors.—The reserve companies of e First Regiment ot

selves in a manner honourable to the corps, and gratifying to the inhabi.

the Fort is regretted by all classes of the people, by whom their excel-

esteem. The Royals have been succeeded by the reserve companies of

merits, had been inspected, the General reviewed the nt I n the
plain adjoining Maiden Castle. The weather was Sc:, fine tor the oc..
casion, and the field was crowded by a outiterutut and iaslatonable assent-
, blagc. The appearance of this ihtrepid corps, the splendour of their
dresses and equipments, and the rapidity of to. it ttttt vett:eats, created a
striking coup d'eril, the effect of a hieit was materially heightened by
the performance of several insriring inertial pieces ot scrottish
musk. by the excellent regimental bated. The paseision with which
the various troll:foto% were performed, elicit. d tram the General in his
address to ('ol. filmy. tie highest CIICOU AI on the high state of dis-
cipline evident in the regiment. The General directed a yariety nt
movements of the regiment across the con mon towards itself/a:mucks.
and expressed himself highly gratified with the readiness with which
the evolutions were executed. Colonel Grey, after Ikving rcpt. ted the
approbation of the General to the men, infonned them that his Al..jeste

MISNOMERS OR 11161)ERN ELEOANCIES.

Sta—l belicre that few pfronle will arty that England within
ti.cse few year+ has TiSCO to a ilvgve of perfection ahnoat unrivalled. In
cull and relit( littera and ,ciencee—in•tinSiona—nianufac-

is become prc-entintt,:.
. -

But among all Oa ....nom:orients there are Done in which the refine.
meats of tiviliz Mon Ale nom kohspiennoly developed than in the lan-
guage, and for this she i% principally indebted to the state of the Press,
which ha. bcrta•:e so enricheil of late that there is now (thanks to the
schoolmaster) the MOM itlimnatic turn of speech for the most common
affairs of life.

Thus, on entering a new year, it is annour.ced in the phraseology of
the day, that the old has " merged into the gulph of time ;" and when
opting hos arrived, it is said that the " extended blue arch of heaven'
had thtown :aide its thickened veil, while the thin clouds hanging from
the sprittrrn (tiling, frettlitms the glorious scene."
In the time of our plainspoken ancestors, lad:es who lost their hus-
bands were called widows. but now they are " fair renew." We used
also to hear of beaqm of the field being sometimes killed by lightning,
but they are now struck by the electric fluid."
(hoe think ot• drunken women at a Police Office becoming " interest.
log females" and if abandoned courtesans, they are " devotees of the
Cyprian goddess," and happily for the cause of temperance and so.
bnety, men are not now found drunk or intoxicated as formerly—they
are only seen " disguised in liquor," or, " under the surveillance of
Bacchus." Those who were in times past called swindlers and pick-
pockets. are now termed " professor* of the fine arty," and then again
criminals used to be hanged, hut now they are "launched into eternity."
—Formerly, if all were found in the streets, or elsewhere, in a state of
insensibility, a doctor used to be sent for, but now " medical aid is said
to be in immediate attendance ;" should death ensue before the our-
geons' arrival " the vital spark has fled." People were sometimes
drowned in old times, but no occurrences of the kind happen now ;
they nay indeed be " immersed is the liquid element till the fire of life
is extinguished." In ancient times, if one met with a well.eut cost, it
n;eil to be who's the maker, but now it is " who's the builder r or
" who suffers ?"

Again, in old-fashioned days, folks used to be married: with shame
be it said that there is no such thing as matrimony now. Brides are
only " led to the hymeneal altar," and then the wedding guests danced;
but no such a thing now, they only " trip it on the light fantastic
toe." A ship used also now and then to be launched, but there is no-
t Ling of the sort ; she now (mark reader, the Lord Melville or the Air
William) " glides majestically into ber native element," an element by
the bye in which she never was before.
But, Sir, this is only a day's march In the career of improvement.
It has been observed, that England affords a greater variety of chit-
racier' than the rest of the world : this is ascribed to the liberty pre-
vailing amongst us, which gives wery one the privilege of being wise
or foolish his own way ; and so it is we find a tailor, in the lusurianee
of fancy, embellishes his door plate with vestiarium."
The paper-hanger thinks nothing so much the characteristic of
genius, as to make known his common calling, in an uncommon man.
ncr, so designates his shop " the Temple of Fancy."
The corn.cuttcr is also on tip-toe for distinction, and so styles him-
self " chiropodist."

The milkman quits the beaten track only because it is known, and
takes a new path, and so dubs his cow-house " the metropolitan dairy^

The Auctioneer, in describing an estate for sale, says—" The scene
is one of picturesque and entangled wildness ; the hard and milk.whlte
rocks are worn into a whimsical variety of shapes, the hanging foliage
above and below, droops its ornamental fringe over the rugged work-
manship of nature, while the torrent, foaming between its rough and
deepened confines, reminds the beholders of the spot from whence the
ancient Cambrian Bard addressed the invading Edward in the imaginary
language of the poet, Grey—

Ruin seise thee, ruthless King.'
" Nowhere will be found such a continuation of beautiful wildness,
sucb fearful and almost unapproachable heights, cataracts so loud and

Every hair-cutter a " Frizeur" or " Peruquier." •
Butchers are" Meat Purveyors," and bricklayers " Architects."
The huxter's shop is dignified into a " Warehouse," and the broker's

A fiddler calls himself a" Professor of Diacousties."

Coffee stalls are " Hotels," eating houses " Coffee Rooms," mantua-
makers and cooks are " Artists," match sellers " Timber Merchants,"
thieves " Conveyancers," and the gallows a " New Drop."
Indeed, almost every thing has a new name, which few can compre-
hend or pronounce without blundering. Turn which way you will,
you will meet with something about the " Dioroma," •' Cosmorama,"
" Udoronta," " Octortuna," `• Physiorama,":" Poecilorama," or the
" Peristrephic, or Moving Polygenic Panorama."
Then there is the " Ridouranion," the " Diastrodoeon," " Hanna
Mean," " Panharroonicoo," and " Apollonicon."
Next comes the elegancles in shop names, for nothing will do under
" Nararino House," "Grafton House," " Waterloo House," or
" Compton Howse." Then we have " Rose Cottage," " Vine Lodge,"
"Myrtle Hall," " The Vineyard," " Mon Reps," and a host of
pretty named " Retreats," with which the outskirts of this overgrown
metropolis abound.
But the career of improvement does not halt yet. In the Christian
names of our servants also, instead of the plain, un.ophistlcated mesa
Betty, Sam, Dick, Sally, Ned, and Jinny, we have " Rosabella. Al-
}lfonso, Juliana, Theophilus, Lucretia, Horatio, and AtabAla."
The foregoing is but a page in the hiatory of the march of " Grandl-
lorptence ;" but enough, whether this taste for the excrescences of the
language be really superior to the examples which our predecessors have
left for Imitation, or whether it proceeds from any hatred of the legiti.
mate forms of speech, posterity will best determine ; but that it is cal.
misted to mistify people of plain understanding cannot be denied.
Yours, respectfully,

when a few days ago, havirg enquired of her nurse what poet of the

TRIAL OP 110. SI. JOHN LONG.

OLD BAILEY—SaroaDAT.

The unparalleled interest which the investigation of this cam before
the Coroner excited, was not, apparently, carried to the trial, for at
nine o'clock there were but few persons in the Court. A number of
eminent medical men were In attendance, and in the grand jury box se-
veral clegantly-dressed females were accommodated. At nine o'clock
Mr. Justice Parke and Mr. Baron °arrow, accompanied by a number
of noblemen, took their seats upon the bench.
Mr. Long was then placed at the bar, while the indictment was Ind
over, which stated that on the body of Catherine Cashin he did hied-
may use a certain liquid, to wash and sponge the back of the said Ca-
theme Cashin, well knowing the same to be of an infirammusp and
dangerous nature ; whereby a certain wound was produced oo the back
from whence death ensued. The prisoner is a IMO of passel appesr-
ance tall, and apparently about 33 years of age. To the indictment he
pleaded Not Guilty in a firm voice.
Mr. ALLEY opened the case, and begged to direct the most serious
attention of the Jury to what he considered one of the most important
cases which had ever come before a Jury. The question was, whether
the prisoner had used a certain wash from whence death ensued, where-
by he had incurred the charge of felony and manslaughter ? The un-
fortunate young lady was of highly respectable family, who lived on
their property, and having a sister unwell they came to London, in or-
der to consult the prisoner, for medical assistance. Miss atherine
Cashin went with her sister to these consultations of Mr. St. John Long.
She was then of peculiarly fine form, and without the slightest appear-
ance of any incipient disorder. Mr. Bt. John Long, however, corn-
' municated to the mother his belief that Miss Cashin would be in less
than two months afflicted with a consumption. Her mother and
herself felt naturally alarmed. and on the 3d of August she took the
fatal determination of submitting to the defendant's novel remedy. On
the 13th of August, after having been rubbed with some stuff taken
from a bottle, a ulcer formed on bet body, and her back soon be-
came in a state of great inflammation. When Mr. Long was in-
formed of this, he said, "Oh d it is all right, it should be
so, for it is part of my system." The young lady having got worse,
her friends thought fit to send for Dr. Brodie to give his opinion on the
case. He came, and expressed his surprise, and prescribed something
for her. The defendant came the next day, and was told that Dr.
Brodie Bad been sent for. He replied, " There was no necessity, the
wound was going on right." They begged him to send her some medi-
cine to give her relief. He said, "Oh, no, I detest medicine above all
things; but give her a tumbler of port wine." A glass of wine was
given her, but her stomach instantly rejected it. Dlr. St. John Long
applied a poultice, at the same time placing Miss Cashin on the bed,
and uncovering her person. When asked why he exposed her in that
manner, he said he wanted to allow the fresh air to have access to the
wound. He was approaching the bed, in order to do something,l
when Miss Cashin said, " Mr. Long. you shall not touch me again.
You have injured me greatly. I was in perfect health when you
tried your prescription on mc." On the day before her de-1
cease additional spots were pointed out to Mr. Long. He went away, and
never Aar saw the unfortunate young lady. The next morning the lady
in whose house Miss Cashin lived hearing the bell ring violently, went
up stairs, and found the young lady struggling in the agonies of death.
The learned Counsel then recapitulated the subsequent coroner's inquest
and the finding of the jury, that Mr. Long was guilty of " Manslaugh-
ter." The brother of the young lady before her death called on Mr. I
Long. and asked how he could have reduced her to such deplorable
debility? Mr. Long said, " Oh, the young lady came with her sister,
and I thought she appearedunwell, and recommended her to place her.
self under my care. This was a most important point, because it
showed that the operation was not performed by her desire, but by Mr.
Long's request. The medical men who examined the body after death
found a dreadful wound on the back, in a state of mortification. This
injury undoubtedly caused her death. In order to satisfy further doubts
which existed, the body was exhumated and inspected by eminent me-
dical men, and after a minute examination they came to the opinion
that death had ensued from the outward application. This was a brief
outline, and he hoped that the jury would, as men of honour, divest
themselves of every previous prejudice, and come to a decision on the
case from the evidence alone—The Learned Counsel then proceeded to
call the witnesses t

Mrs. Roddes, Mornington-place, Hampstead-road : Mrs. and the
two Miss Cashing lodged in her house ; they became lodgers on the
26th June lot. Miss Catherine Cashin at that time appeared to be in
perfect heal h ; she continued so until within four or five days of the
time when witness accompanied her to Mr. Long. It was on the 13th
August witness went to Mr. Long, 43, Harley-street ; had a message
from Mrs. Cashin, expressing her fears respecting the wound on her
daughter's back. Mr. Long said Miss Cashin must go and inhale,
after which he would look at her back. The process of inhaling was
this ; in the room appeared two cabinet pianos, each lady took a pipe,l
about a yard and a half long, and put it to an orifice in the machine op.
posits to which she seated herself, and inhaled. There were about
eight or ten ladies inhaling when Miss Cashin went in ; they
inhaled from half an hour to three quarters. Mr. Long expressed a
wish to witness, that' Miss Cashin would not omit going every day
to his house for he purpose of inhaling. With respect to the
wound, he said that she would be quite well in few days. On the
evening of the next day Mr. Long came to examine the wound
on Miss Cashin's back. He said it was in a beautiful state,
and that he would give 100 guineas if he could produce a similar
wound on the person of some of his patients. Witness pointed out
a dark inflamed puncture. He said it was in consequence of in.
baling, and unless those appearances presented themselves he could
not expect any beneficial result. He added, that the symptoms con.
bitted with the wound were a proof that his system was taking due
effect. Witness wished him to give her a composing draught. He
said a tumbler of mulled port wine was a better composing draught
than all the doctors in the world could give, for he hated the very
name of physic. On the staircase Mr. Long requested that witness
would expose the wound to the air. Witness remarked that the ex.
posure ef such a wound would most likely produce madness or death.
Mr. Long then said, on reconsideration, he thought there could not be a
better application than the poultice witness had made; and that he should
rely on witness's judgment for an account of the wound the following
morning. Witness did apply the poultice. Mr. Long was sent for the
next day. When he came into the room, be took off his coat lustily,
and requested some soft dry linen to be procured. He very uncour.
teously stripped off Miss Cashin's night-dress. By uneourteously, she
meant rudely. Witness begged that Mr. L. would step aside until she
had removed the poultice. Miss Cashin said, " Indeed. Mr. Long,
you shall not touch my back again; it is horrible...you very well know
when I became your patient I was in
Whatever
health—but now you are
killing me." Mr. Long replied, " Whatever inconvenience you are
now suffering it will be of short duration, for in two or three days you
will be in better health than you ever were, in your life," and again
spoke most confidently that the result of his system would be to
prolong her life. He then put on his coat, and said if she had not
undergone his prescription she would have been seised with consemp-
tion. All the subsequent symptoms witness described as seeming to
give him satisfaction. in witness expressing her fears, Mr. Long said
they were perfectly groundless, and proceeded from ignorance of his
system, saying that Miss Cashin would be perfectly well in two or
three days. Mr. Long visited Miss Cuhin twice on the day before
her death.
Mr. P. Sweetman examined by Mr. Alley : He lives in Dublin, and
married the sister of Miss Cashin. He received a letter, in consequence
of which he came to England on the Saturday previous to her death.
He asked Mr. Long what he thought of Miss Cashin. Mr. Long re.
plied, that she was doing very well, and just in the state that he wished
her to be. Be breakfasted with Mr. Long on Sunday morning: in
conversation, Mr. Long told him that many of his patients would be
glad to have such a wound, and that he had told Miss Cashin, when he
first saw her, that if she did not put herself under his care she would
die of consumption in a month or two ; in consequence of which, Mrs.
Cashin, on being told what Mr. Long had said, put Mise Casbin under
his treatment, hoping to save her from consumption. Mr. Long then
described his mode of treatment, by rubbing the chest, the back. and
sometimes the eyes. Mr. Long presented a book and wished him to
sign it, and not to divulge what the mixture was composed of.-o.oss.
examined by Mr. Gurney : Mrs. C. brought her daughters to England
to put the youngest under Mr. Long for a consumption. Her son had
died of a similar complaint at Lyons.
Mr. Brodie examined by Mr. C. Pa:Lutes. Witness went on the
16th August to see Miss Cashin, she was confined to her bed ; he found
the inflamed part of her back about the size of a plate; in the centre
there was a black dead spot about the sire of the palm of his hand ; she
was also suffering from excessive sickness, and nothing would remain
on her stomach ; he ordered her some medicine to allay her sickness, and
a poultice was to be applied to her back ; he did not at that time think
her to be in so dangerous a state as she afterwards proved to have been;
ne called on the following afternoon and found she had died in the morn.
