NEGLECT OF CORONERS.

MARLBOROUGH-STHEET._YesterdaytheChltrCh•
,cardenS and Master of the Workhouse, St.
George's, appeared More G. FARRANT, Esq. for
his advice relative to a dead body, lying, in the
Wotkhoose, in a state of putrefaction, fur the
want of a Coroner to hold a Jury.

It appeared that the deceased, who WaS a tailor,
res:ding in Nod-street, No. 10, went to bed in
good health on Virednesday night, and not having
been seen in the course of Thumlav, his hndlord
went into his apartment, and found him a corpse
in bed. Smith was sent for, and also Bumpstead,
another beadle, but neither of the Coroners for
Westminster could be found, and the answers
were, that they were in the country. The know-
ledge of these circumstances caused a great assem-
blage round the house, besides which the body
%vas in a very offensive state, and the landlord
came to this Office, and deposed upon oath the
facts here stated. The Magistrate ordered that
the body should he taken to the 'Wolkhouse until
the Coroners could he found.

Mr. Horwood, Mi-:ster of the Workhouse, stat-
ed, that the body wos in a most plorified state,
and that the Westminster Coroners hod not yet
come to town. Nir. h:ad been sent for, but
he 'vas gone to an inqoest in the count) y.
The Magistrate ordered that the body should
he examined by a surgeog and then buried.

QUER N-SQU A RE.—Joseph Lore was charged with
attempting to murder his own wife, a very inte-
resting. young WOMAII, apparently only about 20
ye•+rs old. It appeared, that atter the honey-
moon had pissed, they disagreed, and separated.
She went to service at the house of Mrs. Smith,
at Stroud. The prisoner came there on Sunday
night, and Mrs. Smith allowed him to come in to
see his :wife. He wanted to take her way, but
she refused ; on which be snatched a knife from
he table, and would have stabbed her, only that
Mrs. S. and another female who was present, in-
terfered. He knocked both of them down, broke
the windows, and behaved very outrageously.—
Ordered to find bail.

DREADFUL ACUMEN-F.—An unfortunate acci-
dent occurred on Monday afternoon, between two
and three o'clock, in White Rose-alley, Beech.
street, Barbican. At that time a storm raged
over the metropolis, and it rained excessively. The
wind blew very strong, and at the house of Mrs.
Roach, No. 3, in the said alley, a stack of chilli-
nies was blown down, which fell upon the roof
and drove it in ; two children were in bed in the
attic, when a beam fell upon the head of one of
them, a girl about six years of age, and killed her
instantly ; the other, an infant only two years of
age, was taken out of the Roach),
but slightly
wounded. The mother (Mrs. Roach), who is a
widow, was injured very severely on one side.
The wounded persons were conveyed to Senior
and Sou's, burgeons, Beach-street. •

We have frequently observed, and as often la-
mented, that_; the Catholic Question is constantly
introduced at every public meeting in Ireland, no
matter for what purpose such meeting might have
been called I d.t Loughrea, for instance, and lately,
the question to be considered was, %Thriller Mr.
Peel was deserving of public drank• for his ser-
vices to Ireland, while lie confirmed in office as
her Chiet Secretary. Now, surely, the meri:s or
demerits of Mr. Peel afforded ample scope of
themselVes for the Orators of Connaught to dilate
upon, without introducing this old and backnied
subject of turmoil and discontent, the Catholic
Question but this would not do.—Mr. Mar►in
kV 3 S returned by the Catholics, and consistently
wits► due respect to them, he could not bestow
on Mr. Peel his unqualified praise, because, in-
deed, Mr. Pee) voted against the Catholic De-
mands for total Emancipation ! But Mr. Martin
is not so much to blame for this, for he knew his
men, and that " he would never more be officer
of theirs" if he supported a well-merited enco-
mium on any person who, in %v.:A or deed, op•
used their overgrown and unwarrantable de-
mands.

We are sot ry to say it, and it appears to us,
that the reign of terror is fast approaching, since
find the most gifted individual that perhaps
ever filled the same eitnation in Ireland thus at-
torked. This is a sod perversion of Irish genius
and 0r Irish talent, and cannot sufficiently_merit
our condemnation.

‘Ve may now expect Mr. Grant—and as all
ranks look up to him as a profound and eo-
lighteued politician, we trust no impediments will
he thrown in the w4y of his exercising a matured
and will tempered judgment, by a premature in-
tioluctionot the Catholic Question. It would lie
better to let this question, as we have often said
before, rest with Parliament, and abide the deci-
sion of that august assemblage. But we must
not expert this to take place, from the turbulent
t,chion who have heretofore managed Catholic
affairs. They look to ulterior consequences
arising out of this question, in a far different light
than that in which we behold them, and they ate
therefore decided as to what line of conduct they
are to pursue. They calculate, that were the
Legislature to-morrow unanimously to give all
that the safety of the Church and State would
permit being granted, it would be the worst con-
clusion to their hopes which they conk expect ;
for it is not the tranquillity or the repose of Ire-
land they seek after—anibit ion is the magnet that
so powerfully works on them, and leads them
through r.:l the mazes of polemical and political
controversies, while their hopes are for the sepa-
ration of tile two countries—grounding their
consequent expectation on a repeal of the Union.
Surely all this must appear to be the fact with-
out much difficulty, by looking back to the Duke
of Richmond's adininistration—a period when the
Executive tried every possible mode of effecting
a reconcili:ltion—when a room in the Castle was
even offered by the puke to Lord Fingal, to hold
a Catholic meeting in, it) place of the Ca:holic
Committee assembling at the Board Room at
L'itzpatrick's, and which offer was as ungraciously
declined, because nothing would satisfy the agita-
tors, but what is extorted or dictated by them-
selves. -Tho3, then, it is, that trete Mr. Grant
to-moirow, under the authority of his high office,
to hold oat assurances of conciliation to the Ca-
tholics of Ireland, he would hod them laughed at,
since th y were not dictated by their faction and
promulgated by their Pi ess. Let 119 not be mis-
understood—we respect a Catholic equally as we
do a Protestant, since we know there are many
good men belonging to both religious persuasions.
It is not, therefore, the religion of any man we
dread, but aTecurrence of those politics which ori-
ginate in bigotry, and are handed down itt letters of
olood to perpetuate the memory of those, who,
martyrs to settled Governmetrs, have become the
victims of democracy and republican fury. We can-
not forget the innocent and butchered Louis, who
bled on the Throne of his ancestors—or the many
virtuous and loyal men who became the objects of
assassination tin Our wen country ! Who forgets
Kilwarden, or can we bani4h from our recollectom
the many, yes too mail martyrs, who but a few
years ago suffered- like that revered man, their
own friend ? Those are the reflections, relative
to a parry who must have every thing their own
way and which strike us with horror. It is not
the religion any Man that we deprecate ; but
there is too great an identity between the Catho-
lics and their demagogues to let us he incautious
as to their proceedings. Our opponents talk of
conciliation, and they calculate on Mr. Grant's
accomplishing it, There shall be no impediments
thrown in its way by us, and let our opponents
look to themselves !—The abuse of Mr. Peel, we
presume, is a very unfavourable mode of approach
to Mr. Grant, and speaks any thing hut concilia-
tion—for what must Mr. Grant think of those
who refuse to give praise to a personage whose
gigantic talents reliable(' hire to be the man of
business —the statesman--the politician—the
scholar—and the gentlemau, and to discharge the
various and difficult duties of each situation with
equal facility and effect ? lit performing his great
official duties, there was a readiness, a complai-
santness, and a decision not to be excelled, and
hard to be equalled. He had the met hod
,to please
and to accelerate business at the same time,
which left nothing undone. He tranquillized Ire-
land, and he satisfied England ; thus completing
the great work he had undertakeno. And because
he did this—because he set an example of every
thing to be admired, he is now the object of cen-
hluah for our country when we say
sure, and, wt:

it, of ca!tr:orsy. e hewlveot Act wholly forgot I
and wherefore ? Because he did not vote as the
agitators of the Catholic Body wished (hat he
should have done, at their dictation Wi.at must
any successor to Mr. Peel say to 'he Cath tics
after this base and ungenerous coodue, ? But
tyranny and dominion have been the leading prin-
ciples of those-who have «thdocted the adaits of
the Catholic Board 111111 the Catholic CO:11111ittee.
They jasulted their Prince and they invoked the
assistance of a foreign country ! y estal•lish-
ed a Council of Five Hundred, to sir in the Capi-
tal, and braid the Governmeut ! And what is it
they would not have done, it not checked in their
career most timely by the manly and spirited re-
sistaure to them and their leaders of Mr. Welles-
ley Pole ? IVe say this is what the Catholic 00-
i:tiers did, and we are satisfied the Cat;?nlie
regretted, if not centned, such condato as nmell as
we did. The calm which followed the Duke of
Richmond's Adinitiistration was the work of Mr,
Peel, and now .Mr. Grant comes to Ireland to
succeed Mr. Peel, and the agitator. cry out. " we
must get all from Mr. Grant which Mr Peel held
from us—seats in Parliament, and a r. peal of toe
Union I" It is a gross mistake to say they ,avant
any thing shott of this.
Let, however, a little time pa'sol„ and we shall
see more of the matter. Mr. Grant. we well
know, is an highly gift. d scholar and gentleman,
he will come Nitiongct us under cirnitus,an,es em-
bracing great con,iderati,,n and respert, anil all
we wish for is, to give him a fair nnportonity of
knowing our couniry and enabli,ig him to appre-
ciate it. The sea throu2h %%Welt he is destined to
sail shall not be ruffled by us—there will be harsh
and contrary winds enough for him to encounter,
without our interference. A system of morality,
hitherto unknown to Ireland, has commenced
through the means of pious and well intended
Christians, by a due observance of the Lord's Day,
and although but in its infancy, vet Mr. Grant
will find shameless observations thrown in the
way of its progress by The Dublin Evening Post,
Freeman's Journal, &c. among those satellites of
Catholic influence. He will jui!ge of the spit it
which stirs up the hatred to Mr. Peel by this, and
form an opinion of the Party by the lucubrations
of their Press. He will see that neither the com-
mands of God or man can keep any check over
their licentiousness, and what, then, might be ex-
pected, were political power put into such hands ?
Mr. Grant iits beretotote had an opportunity of
judging of them only at a distance in his Legi-la-
ive capacity ; hut he will now have a personal
opportunity of judging of them in his official si-
tuation. Mr. Vansittart had a similar opportu-
nity of doing the same, and what did he expe-
rience He found that their accewance as a
boon of what be propose.: was afterwards retract-
ed, and a total repeal or all Taxes demanded !
It will be seen we allude to the Window Tax ;
but surely it must appear that the Catholic
Claims have been acted upon in the same way.—
Since the year 17Th, relaxation upon relaxation
has been granted, down to 1818, when all
modification is refused, and the whole denund-
ed ! It is, therefore,. the (brad of consequences
from experience .+ Inch go.ern us ill 1-117. k ng
these remarks, and not a resistance to any sup-
posed right, for the influence of piejudic.e.
