THE SUN, ,LONDON, TIIURSDAI MOItNING-; JO NI! gi I t 3424

has just been published) inclnd'eb ill those presented
from the first thy 'die meeting of Parliament to the
l'fb 'ctitY of May. The following are the more remark-
able :—For the Repeal of the Union with Ireland, 147
petitions, with 215,086 signatures ; for Universil SUlT-
rage, 24 petitions, with 3.,424,134 signatures ; for the
Better Obsei•VanCe of the Lord's Day, 67 petitions, with.
11,`034 signatures, which are far surnaMa by the peti-
tioners against Maynooth College, e nuer of tkelle
t' bio•ots bing not less than 20,348. The inlitber
of Petitoners against the liteentle-tak was only 9,218 ;
while those agattist th Corn-and Provision-laws were
1,508,413, Only five petitions were presented, in favotir
of Church Extension; and we, therefore; 'coilaltide that Sir
Robert Inglis and Dr. Chalmers be'gin to admit du t it
would be the height 'of erueity to take more money from
our over-faxes popalation to put into the coffers of a
Church that has an income of at least 9,000,000/. sterling a
year. The number ofpetitions against Church Patronage
in Scotland were 11, with 1,345 signatures.
We are enabled, on the most undoubted authority, to
contradict the rumours recently circulated relative to
the alleged existence of a misunderstanding between this
country and France. No unfriendly or unpleasant official
intercourse or correspondence has taken place between
the Cabinets of the two countries.—Morn jay Herald.
CONTESTED ELECTIONS.—Mr. H. S. Smith, of Leeds,
has published a second edition of " The Register of
Parliamentary contested Elections," containing also the
uncontested elections since 1830. This return of elec-
tions extends as far back as 1700. In a great portion of
the numerous contests he has distinguished the split
votes from the plumpers, given the colours of the diffe-
rent parties, and the number of registered voters at
each election since the Reform Bill came into opera-
tion. Some of the returns under the old borough-
mongering system have a singular appearance. The
number of electors for the city of Edinburgh for instance,
containing a population of 160,000, was in 1820 only 28,
for the county 128 ; and after the franchise was ex-
tended, they numbered respectively 6,048 and 1,249.
Mr. Pitt stood for Cambridge University first in 1780,
when he was defeated, being at the bottom of the poll,
but in 1784 he was returned at the head, havintr re-
ceived 351 votes, and represented the University till his
death. The plan altogether is excellent, and the work
forms the most complete record of Parliamentary elec-
tions we have seen.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Some purchases in Reduced by the Bank broker cawed an
improved feeling in English Securities, and Consols advanced
to 91% 918, for the opening ex. div.; Reduced, 91% 91%;
Bank Stock, 167% 168%; Exchequer Bills, 47 49 premium.
Foreign Securities remain as yesterday, Belgian, 102 103 ;
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 52% 52%; the Five per
Cents., 101 101% ; Danish, 808 818 ; Brazilian, 67* 68%.
The quotation for Mexican was somewhat higher, being 368
for Money, and 36% for the Account.
In the Share Market, London and Birmingham, 177 179 ;
Birmingham and Gloucester, 50 52 ; Great Western, 87 88 ;
the Half Shares, 61% 62%; South Western, 621,4 63% ;
North Midland, 65 67 ; the New Shares, 32 33 ; South
Eastern and Dover, 25* 251 ; the New Shares, 5i 68 ;
Eastern Counties, 9 9%; North Midland, 43 45 ; Blackwall,
108 11 ; and Brighton, 35%358 per Share.
An improvement is to be noticed in the quotations for the
Bonds, but with what legitimate reason it is difficult to ascer-
tain. Colombian are marked 26* 26%; Peruvian, 18% 19%;
Portuguese Five per Cents., 37 37%; the Three per Cents.,
214 22i ; Spanish, 22 22% for the Five per Cents., and 2'2 23
for the Three per Cents.
A particular class of persons connected with City business are
loudly complaining of the new regulation respecting the
coinage, namely, the bankers' clerks. The representations
made by these gentlemen are worthy of attention, inasmuch as
they may be taken as an index of the feeling of? the commu-
nity in general. It is stated that the number of unpaid bills
now brought back far exceeds what was formerly the case,
while their labour in collecting therq was more than doubled ;
and this, not arising from commercial embarrasment, but in
consequence of the coin provided being short in weight. If
this inconvenience be felt by those parties, it has been asked
how much more severe sufferers the persons must be who have
to provide other money, and lose time in running to a banker's
and taking up the bills.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Bank Broker has again been buying Reduced, which
has given a firmness to the market. Consols are 91i for
the opening ex-dividend ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91i, ;
Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001 ; Bank Stock,
1671 1.68 k ' • India Bonds, 23 25 ; Exchequer Bills, 46 49 prem.
Foreign Securities are rather better. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents., 52a 52i ; the Five per Cents., 101 i 101 i ;
Belgian, 102 103 ; Danish, 80f, 81k ; Brazilian, 67 68.
the quotation for Mexican is 36i.'' Shares are in improved
demand, althongh but little has been done. Business has been
confined to Great Western, 87 /38; the Half Shares, 61 61i ;
South Western, 63; Manchester and Birmingham, 26i ;
Blackwell, 10;;..
The quotations for the Bonds are rather higher ; Colombian,
26i ; Peruvian, 19k ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 37i; the
Three per Cents., 22k ; Spaisish Five per Cents., 2171 ; the
Three per Cents., 24. Money is ea.y at four per cent.
The confusion and annoyance occasioned by the proclamation
regarding light sovereigns has materially increased. Private
bankers now weigh each piece of coin separately, and not
en masse as was formerly the ea.e, and the collecting clerks
are furnished with a pair of scales, in order that no money
below the specified weight may be taken. Thus far it is
merely an hindrance to business, but several instances have oc-
curs ed of serious loss ; one party, upon examinghis banker's hook
discovered that nearly 30s. had been deducted for deficiency in
the weight of between two and three hundred sovereign's, which
had been paid in the day previously, and many others have oc-
curred in which a large portion of those tendered had been re-
turned. It is urged that the Government should adopt some
method by which these inconveniences may be removed, since,
although they now chiefly fall on the merchant and banlier,
in a short time they will reach the small tradesmen, who are
little able to afford the loss of time or money which must be
sustained.

WILTSHIRE TOPOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.---Saturday
last was the second anniversary of this novel and useful Society,
when several of its members met at the chambers of Mr. Alex-
ander, in the Adelphi, to elect the President, Vice-Presidents,
and other officers, for the ensuing year, and to report on the
progress and prospects of the Institution. Earl de Grey was
re-elected President, and the Bishop of Salisbury, Sir John
Cam Hobhouse, Robert Gordon, Esq., and Joseph Neild,
Esq., M.P., Vice-Presidents. Mr. Alexander and Mr.
Britton were continued as Honorary Secretaries, and the
Dean of Hereford, with Henry Merick Hoare, Esq.,
were added to the Council. A " opographieal History of the
Pari)h of Grittleton," by the Rev. J. E. Jackson, with six
illustrations, was ordered to be printed, and the Histories of
" Kington, Langley, and Christian-.Malford," were reported to
be so far advanced, as to be ready for publication before the
ensuing Christmas. Collections for other parishes were de-
scribed to be in various stages of progress. An increase of
members was announced, and the funds of the :Society de-
scribed to be equal to the payments for the publications in pro-
gress, and a surplus to invest in Government securities.
THE UNEMPLOYED.—During the last week there
have been several large meetings of a portion of the unem-
ployed in the Green, where the causes of their present dis-
tress, and the best mode of alleviating it, have been amply dis-
cussed. At a meeting of this kind on Thursday, it was resolved
that, on the following day, they should proceed en masse to the
city, for the purpose of soliciting charity. On Friday fore-
noon, accordingly, several hundreds of them assembled at the
Royal Exchange, with the view, it appears, of commencing
their tour of mendicancy through the city, by soliciting
assistance from the gentlemen who attend the room.
A benevolent gentleman, whose sympathies were excited
by the appearance of to many of his fellow-creatures
seeking bread, resolved on spending a sum of money for
the purchase of loaves, and proceeded, accompanied b the
igreater portion of the unemployed, to a baker's shop in rgle-
street, where he bought a number of loaves, and handed them
out to the crowd, by whom they were greedily accepted. At pre-
sent about 4,000 rations of soup and bread are distributed daily ;
300 persons aro employed at labour, either in breaking stones or
levelling a piece of ground on the Milton estate, near to the
Lunatic Asylum. To-day an additional number will be set to
these out-door employments, and about 200 webs will be given
out for idle hand-loom weavers, thus extending the means of
employment to 600 men. Even this will not meet the evil,
but, through the exertions of the Committee, it is hoped that
additional work will be speedily provided for the greater
number of the unemployed.— Glasgow Argus.
. The land-rail, or corn-crake is frequently heard
at this season of the year. in the vicinity of Leicester, even as
near to the town as the fields adjoining the New Walk and Oc-
cupation Road; -but though many persons, are anxious to see
the bird, few succeed in doing so. It usually runs amongst
the long grass, seldom flying, and then only for a short distance.
It is shy and cunning. Mr. Jesse says :---" A gentleman hid a
corn-crake briught to him by his dog, to all appearance dead. As
ielann the ground be turned it with his foot, and was convinced
that 'it yr* dead. Standing by, however, .in sileuce.le -sud-
denly sawit open an eye. He then took it up; its head felt,
its legs hun.' loose, and it appeared again quite dead. He then
put it into his pocket, and before long he felt it all alive, and
struggling to escape. He then took it out ; it was as lifeless as
before. Having laid it again upon the ground, and retired to
some distanCe, the' bird in about five minutes warily raised its
head, looked around, and decamped at full speed, "

may read."

POREIGN.
The session bf the French Chamber df Deputies is nosy vir-
tually at an end, ind it is expected that the labours of the
Chamber of Peers will terminate in the course of a few days.
Several of the journals state that the Chambers will be for-
mally closed on the 13th, that the ordonnance of dissolution
will be published on the 14th, and the general election take
place on the 9th of July. By Art. 42 of the Charter, the
new Chambers must meet within three months of the date of
the ordonnance of dissolution.
Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours
arrived at Brussels on Saturday afternoon. A grand dinner
was given in honour of their visit. The Franc Parleur of
Verdun says :—" The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours are ex-
pected to be at Luxembourg on the Bth or 9th inst. They
will return direct by Longuy and Verdun, without visiting
Metz. They are expected at Verdun on the 15th or 16th.
Their review of the troops will be very short, as they do not
come as Inspecting Generals, but as Princes of the Blood Royal."
A letter from Philippeville, May 24, in the Semaphore of
Marseilles, states that the column under the orders of Comman-
dant Montauban, consisting of 500 infantry and 114 cavalry,
defeated, on the 21st, a body of 4,000 Bedouins, who had
attacked the camp of El-Elarouche on the road to Constantina.
300 of the Arabs were ki led, but the French had only an officer
and sergeant slightly wounded.
A letter from Algiers, in the Toulonnais, states that the
83 prisoners of Abd-el-Kader are indebted for their liberation to
a Corsican, who hus been a spy of all parties, and who used his
influence with Abd-el-Kader on this occasion, in the hope of
re-entering the good graces of the French Government, with
the understanding, however, that he was to be said 100,000 f.
for his exertions.

The Madrid Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes the Royal
Ordonnance, promulgating the law authorising the emission of
160 millions of reals, Treasury Bills. This decree was coun-
tersigned by the New Minister of Finance, Senor Don Antonio
Maria del Valle. A second decree appoints the Commission
charged to examine the propositions of capitalists respecting the
payment of the interest of the Three per Cent. debt.
The Swabian Mercury states that the King of Prussia,
after the military parades and manceuvres of the autumn, will
set out for Russia, accompanied by the Prince Royal. The
King's second son, Prince Charles, will be charged with the
Government during his absenc?, which willlast only three weeks.
A Smyrna letter of the 19th ult. says :—" The Archipelago
is swarming with pirates. Not long ago an Austrian sloop
captured a large three-mast Greek vessel engaged in mai•aud-
ing, and a few days since a French brig of war on this station
went out en a cruise, in co.isequence of intelligence that a
merchantman bound for Marseilles with a cargo of oil, and
200,000 piastres, had been stopped by pirates."
PARLIArVIENTA.RY.

The Lords did not meet yesterday.
Sir R. Inglis in the Commons, resented a petition from
Nottingham, for the issue of the wr►t for that place, and gave
notice that he will to-night make a motion to that effect.
The Manslaughter Bill was thrown out, the Government
objecting to give the Coroners the power of releasing on bail.
The chief business of the evening was the tariff. On the
proposal to levy a duty of 51. on India cotton, Mr. Mangles
objected. The duty was carried by 56 to 42.
The duty on cotton-wool was objected to by Dr. Bowring,
who was supported by Mr. Mark Philips, Mr. Brotherton,
Mr. Wilson, Mr. Buller, and others. It was supported by Mr.
Gladstone, who was quite the locum tenens of sir R. Peel for
the night. It was not possible, he said the Government could
give up such a sum as the duty involved, 640,0001., and the
Committee decided by 97 to 44, that it was better the people
should be idle and starve than the Government should want
funds.

The duty on sheep wool was objected to by Mr. C. Wood,
who was ably supported by Mr. Beckett, the Tory Member
for Leeds, but Mr. Gladstone had the same argument to defend
it ; the insatiable wants of the Government, and the Com-
mittee decided in the case by 122 to 65, that the Government
must have the tax though the people perish.
A second division took place on the wool duty, which was
also carried in favour of the Government by 96 to 47.
Schedule No. 12 was pasted, and the House adjourned at a
Quarter past One o'Clock.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

It is proposed, that as her iiajesty has granted a tract of
ground tof orm a park in the east of London, it would add to
the further enjoyment and comfort of the inhabitants if public
baths were attached to it; the Regent's and Sir Ueorge
Duckett's Canals afford every facility for an abundant supply
of water.

AscbT HEATH HAt3g,::::Wii)l4iimki%
Race meetings, like theatres, have their "on Clays." The
term is applicable to the Tuesday and Thursday at Epsom, to
the Wednesday and Friday at Ascot and Doncaster ; and there
was nothing in the proceedings yesterday to vary its received
charactek. The sport, ilthinigh of first rate excellence, did
net .eiteite aqy inter6t liefoltd the filth-lib-A; The company
was thin, and the stanas, one only excepted; iiefe Op'eried to
almost empty benches. For the " Grand " day, and we
have every ieason to anticipitate that its distinctive ap-
pellation. will be justly applied, the moat extensive
preparations are lit ptOntess; :f he list contains the Cup and
seven other races, and as they Will CeEtitiY come hours in runn-
ing off, even should time be observed (which it itas tint on
Tuesday), her Maje.,ty's arrival will take place a little before
one; and the first race immediately after. It is to be wished,
noweVer, that the Ceremony of clearing the course may not be
attempted until after the Queen has passed up it. On the first
day, by compelling the people to keep outside the rails, not only
during the passage a the royal carriages up the dotirsei but
after the Trial Plate was run, many hundreds who were
anxiously waiting to welcome her Majesty, were not even
aware of her arrival, until apprised of it by the cheering in the
immediate vicinity of the Royal and Grand Stands. '1 his un-
looked for innovation was the only drawback upon one of the
most brilliant Tuesdays ever seen at Ascot.
The following is a brief sketch of yesterday's running :
The Swinley Stakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft.., for 3 yrs, 7st 41b ;

followed by Hydaspes, Auckland third, and the Plerupo:

speed and places continued thus to the distance, where
Hydaspes gave way, and Auckland took his °ace in attend-
ance on Barrier. At the ha'f-distance, they closed, and made
so brilliant and close a finish, that until the Judge had awarded
the victory to the Honourable Member for Dublin, by a head,
it was impossible to say which had won.

the Crown and made a beautiful race hume, the first two finish-

Ajax took the lead at a slow pace, followed by E. 0., the fa-

thus till near the top turn, where a dog ran into the course
right in front of Satirist, who went over him, and was nearly
over the ropes; at this moment Ajax increased the pace, and
with a lead of several lengths, ran nearly round the course, Sa-
tirist never approaching him until he reached the Stand ; Ro-

CRICKET.

MARYLEBONE CLUB V. THE UNIVERSITY OF cAmaßznor

'1 his return twitch, which has excited such interest in the
sporting world, and particularly among the members of the
Universities, was on Tuesday decided in favour of the Mary
lebone gentlemen, by their winning the match in one
innings, and with forty-three runs to spare, after two days'
beautiful and scentific play. '1 he inclo'uru oaf Monday, as
well as on Tuesday, was crowded with amateurs of this
popular game. Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen on the
ground, we noticed the Earl of March (President of the
Marylebone Club), the Earl of Verulam, Lord F. Beauclerk,
Lord W. Beresford, Lord Gardner, Sir J. Bayley, Sir Hume
Campbell, the Hon. S. Montague, the Hon. R. Grimstone,
the lion. S. Ponsonby, and the Hon. F. Ponsenby. It will
be seen that both elevens differ from the list of players we
published on Monday, Hillyer, a professional, being substi•
tuted on the Marylebone side for Sir Frederick Bathurst,
whose absence was unavoidable, and Nicholson, Esq.,
and Massey, Esq., for the Earl of Aboyne, and G. F.
Bentinek, Esq. In the University, eleven, H. Vivian,
Esq., W. Trevelyan, Esq., and R. Barker, Esq., were re-
presented by W. De St. Croix, Esq., Hartopp, Esq., and
Druce, Esq. The Marylebone side went in first, and the
betting, in consequence of their previous success, was all in their
favour. They cleared, as will be seen from the subjoined score,
no less than two hundred and six runs, nut of which Mr. Bailey
made fifty, including two fives, three fours, and three threes;
Mr. Taylor thirty-eight, comprising a six, seven twos, and a
three ; and Mr. Kynaston thirty-six, scoring among other fine
hits, two threes, two fours, and four twos. The batting of these
gentlemen was much admired; indeed they are three of the best
wickets of the club. The Cantabs, in their first innings, ob-
tained only SO runs, the batting and fielding of their adversaries
being very effective. Mr. Taylor and Hillyer, by their style
of bowling, lowered the wickets of the Cantabs in rapid suc-
cession. Mr. French, however, batted well, likewise Mr.
Pickering, the former clearing thirty-two in his first innings,
including a four, and six threes, and the latter, in his second
innings, of seventeen, out of which he got two fours and a
three. The batting of Messrs. De St. Croix and Dewing was
also of a superior order. In consequence of the innings of the
Cantabs being 100 runs less than those of the Marylebone gen •
tiemen, they were, according to the laws of the game, com-
pelled to go in for their second innings, which they did, and
only exceeded their former score by three runs.

TREATMENT OF CRIMINALS.-Sir Peter Laurie, in
refusing an application on Tuesday, respecting a prisoner,
mentioned that Francis, who is in Newgate for shooting at the
Queen, had applied to him to be indulged with a mattress,
which he had refused, telling Francis that he need not look for
any better treatment than the Poorest man in the gaol. He
had no notion of making great favourites of great criminals.
At the expiration of two years from the introduc-
tion of the Penny Postage, Mr. Rowland engagement
with the Government will have expired. That gentleman,
however, will still be retained at his present salary, and will
have apartments fitted up in St. Martin's-le-Grand.
We understand that Robert Forsyth, Esq., advo-
cate, has received the appointment of Keeper of the. Record of
Entails, vacant by the death of James Ferguson, Esq., advo-
cate, and Principal Clerk of Session.—Edinburgh Advertiser.

GMRMAN OPERA.
cid I/22N T. GARDEN THEATRE.
Herr Areiting, the tiers German tenor singer, made his first
appearance on thiScatage list evening, in Dleyerbeer's Opera of
Robert the Devil, Heft Areiting of contle taking the part 01
Robert. Herr Breiting possessFs d very powerful tenor vc.irtp,
almost approaching in quality to a baryttere, scarcely so rich
and mellow as Braham's, but of equal power. 'the imality of
his voice and his style of sing ng, reminded us strongly of DM,
zelli. Ills falsetto is of exquisite sweetness, and like all tenors
who hive a sweet falsetto, he is exceedingly fond of intro-
ducing falsetto notes; sometimes, as it struck us unnecessarily.
He is an excellent musician, and has cultivated his voice to
the utmost of its capabilities. Utir readers may judge of the
immense power and strength of his voice from the fact
that throughout the opera, perhaps the most trying for the
principal tenor that ever was composed, Herr Breiting never
once flagged. His finale was given with all the power of voice
and mellowness of tone of his opening scene, and throughout the
opera he did full justice to every piece that was a signed him ;
there was no saving up of power, no slovening over of one part
in order to reserve strength for a particular acena. It was
throughout an equal and a powerful performance. He was
loudly applauded, and in the eel brated dicing scene, at the
conclusion of the first act, his solo was rapturously en-
cored. We hail the arrival of Herr Breiting as hav-
ing put an end to the dynasty of feeble tenors which
has hitherto held the sway at this theatre. In person
Herr Breiting is hardly fitted for a hero, and his action
is rather awkward, and occasionally outre. Those who re-
member what Braham was twenty years aga, cannot but be
struck with the resemblance, figure, and hi,.ttionie powers,
which Breiting bears to him. He was called for at the con-
clusion of the performance, and received with all the
hAsours. Staudigl was the Bertram, and acted the part as he
only could do. We know not whether to admire Staudi7,l
most as a singer or as an actor. Madame Stoeckel Heinefetter
d.d full justice to the exquisite music of the part of Alice, and
Madame Sehodel had a full opportunity for exhibiting the
great compass of her voice in the part of the Princess, of
which she knew well how to avail herself. Both the ladies were
rapturously applauded. 'the part of Raimund is a small part,
but it was made of importance by the beautiful singing of Herr
&bresch. His duet with Staudigl, at the opening of the
second act was one of the gems of the opera. The voices har.
monised beautifully. It is a work of supererogation to speak
in praise of the German choruses, or band. We c,snnot close
this notice without bestowing onr sawed of approbation upon
the Ballet. Miss Bailin, as Helena, was most fascinating. The
house was exceedingly well filled. The pit was a bumper, from
the commencement.

DR. ELIMITSoN WC-THE PHRE-
NOLOGICAL _DEVELOPMENT AND CHA-
RACTER OF GOOD THE MURDERER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE " MEDICAL TIMES."

Sir,—laving readily obtained the kind permission
of the senior Sheriff to take a cast of the head of
Good, the lately executed criminal, I sent a very able
workman, named Casci, residing at No. 3, llarford-
buildings, Drury-lane, for that purpose. Mr. Casci
is at liberty to sell copies of the cast to any person,
and I believe they may be obtained either at his
house, or that of his master, Brucciani, Little Russell -
street, Drury-lane. I was not present when the cast
was taken; but, while the head was being shaved, I
pointed out its bad development, remarking that the
sides of the head, at covetiveness, destructiveness, and
cunning, were coming into view of very large size.
Of Good's guilt there can be no doubt. His pro-
mise of the victim's clothes so long beforehand to
another woman, his inability after his condemnation
to direct to the matchman of whom he spoke, tell
powerfully against him. The Chaplain of the prison
repeatedly asked him, after his condemnation, why, if
he was innocent, he did not say he was a murdered
man, since he would be fully justified in such a decla-
ration ? But this he could never be brought to say.
When he lived at Clapham he once set fire to the bed
in which his wife lay ill, in order to terrify her. I
have heard proofs of his being a passionate man. His
facility of lying was evinced by his assurance to the
excellent Governor of Newgate, who fancied he re-
cognised him, that he had never been in prison before
under another name, though he .had been there under
the name of Sullivan, convicted of a robbery. He
had been twice convicted of a robbery ; once of ar-
ticles from the boots of a public coach ; once of ar-
ticles which he seized from the hall of a gentleman's
house, ..while waiting with his carriage for his mas-
ter's family; who were there at an evening party. He
took the opportunity, when no servant was in the hall,
of making a dash at coats, cloaks, and a•shawl worth
40 guineas, all which he deposited in the carriage.
He was sentenced to transportation; but a gentleman
with whom-he had lived, and whom he had waited
upon most attentively in an infectious disease, when
every other servant feared to approach the gentleman,
pleaded for him, and he was sent to the Penitentiary.
'During the last fire but one which broke out in that
building, he was so useful that his sentence was re-
mitted, and he was set at liberty. In Newgate his
conduct was always gentle and respectful ; whatever
was wished of him he did ; no prisoner ever gave less
trouble. His conduct to his superiors seems always
to have been very respectful and obliging. His strong
desire of approbation and notice was also shown in
speeches to the Sheriff, Chaplain, and Governor,
during their last interview with him ; in the letters
he dictated full of civil things to various persons; and
in his attempt to address the crowd while the cap was
lathing over his face • in his rising at the end of the
•orvice on the preceding day, and raising his turns
:aid God-blessing the congregation, just as he God-
blessed the athlence at the close of bis trial ; and in
his unexpected speech in his own defend after his
I..4mnsel had concluded. After his condemnation, he
.vas constantly expressing a hope that on the dav
iris execution it would be a fine morning. He was
:mxious not to wear the prison clothes, especially at
the time 'of the condemned sermon and his execution ;
and on the last morning he carefully spread the ends
of his white cravat over his blue checked shirt, in
order to conceal it. Of his sexual propensity we have
sufficient proof. He confessed to having been a very
bad man. He heard his sentence unmoved. his
firmness of the denial of murder did not forsake
him even at the last. His protestations of inno-
cence of blood-guiltiness were strenuous. He
could put up _ with a bad character in other
respects, provided he was not regarded as a
murderer. He was passionately fond of his son. At
the last interview the boy was unwilling to approach
him and shake hands with him, but Good violently
embraced the buy ;- made him sit down and read a
psalm to him, being himself unable to either read or
write ; and, on the child leaving him, fell upon his
knees and prayed for him, and looked after him at the
door of his cell as long as he was in sight. Of his
caution and cunning we have abundant proofs. His
want of intellect appeared in everything. Cunning
enough he was, but he evidently had a miserable un-
derstanding. His idea that his protestations of inno- •
cence would be believed ; that his flatteries would be
valued ; that his displays for notice would redound to
his credit; his constant desire that the morning of
execution would be fine ; in short, his whole conduct
prove him to have been deficient in intellect, though
full of cunning.
His head is in strict accordance with Gall's disco- •
verim It is a head of very limited understanding
iiid.moral feelings, and intense animal feelings.
The portion devoted to intellect is very small, ex-
ceedingly narrow. The breadth steadily augments
in a striking manner from the sides of The forehead to
the parts above the car. We have only to place a
pair of compasses above the ears, where Destructive-
ness or Cunning lie, and then bring them forwards,
to see the great difference. .The breadth of the fore-
head is 4} inches, but the part over the ears is more
than 6 inches. This, and the parts of the sides
above, together with the back of the head, corre-
sponding to portions of the brain in which reside the
feelings equally supplied to brutes as to man, are of
great size. A considerable portion of the crown of
the head, where the higher -moral feelings are placed,
is narrow, and slopes off at the sides, as it usually
does in unscrupulous persons. The cW,"*an which gives
refinement of feeling, called in England Ideality, is.
as in other low criminal:, very small. The .whole
head is rather small, being but 22 inches in circus.-.
Terence; and its circumference would not have been
o great, but that the organ of Parental Love is of
unusual magnitude. Courvoisier's cast was above 23
inches in circumference. But for the great prepon-
derance of the feelings in which the brute is equal to
;Ilan, over the intellectual and higher moral faculties,
the head would have been exceedingly small.
If, as in my pamphlet oil Courvoisier, published by
ilighley, Fleet-street, we signify mean developereen:
by the figure 3; large by the figure 4 ; very large hl
5 • small by 2 • and very small by 1 : the relative de-
velopthent will thus :
