SECOND EDITION:

allowance should be made to the same authorities and
officers for the difficulties they experience in distinguish-
ing between the cases in which they will be justified in
administering wines and other restoratives, such as
medical or surgical cases of emergency and danger re-
quire, and those in which they may feel, as the stewards
of the rate-payers, that they would not be justified in
granting the issue of such costly indulgences. Giving,
however, their full weight to such considerations as
these, there are other circumstances, too frequently the
matter of such painful disclosures as we allude to, as to
which there can be no reasonable perplexity, or doubt,
or difficulty on the minds of guardians, churchwardens,
and medical and relieving officers, honestly intending to
discharge the duties devolved upon them in their several
capacities.
A case of this unquestionable and melancholy cha-
racter forms the subject of the inquest now being held
before Mr. CARTTAR, one of the Coroners for the
county of Kent, on the body of Joule TUCKWELL, a
labourer and a pauper, but not a pauper within the
union house, or receiving parish relief in money, who
appears to have perished from the want of ordinary
medical assistance—and so far as regards some of the
parties implicated in the transaction, we must say from
the want of all ordinary feelings of human sympathy.
It appeared from the evidence gone into, that the de-
ceased had comedown to thatpart of the county, a few
days before, a fine robust young man of eight-and-
twei ty, in quest of employme+ t in his business of a
bricklayer. The poor woman, at whose house he had taken
up his lodgings, applied to the overseer, and informing
him that TucitavELL was dangerously ill and confined to
his bed, induced this officer to visit the sick man, whom
he found in a state of great exhaustion, and suffering
under a formidable eruption. The landlady explained
to him that the man wanted stimulants, upon which the
relieving officer observed (poor TUCKWELL having in-
formed him, in the course of their interview, that, when
well and at work, he could earn five shillings a day) that
he could not comply with her request, the Poor-law
Commissioners, in such a ease, having taken all power
out of his hands to administer any such assistance.
Subsequently, the assistant-overseer, Mr. HIGGINS,
having seen the man, addressed an order to the medical
officer to attend the poor man without delay. The
medical officer, a Mr. WHITCOMB, and a Mr. WOOD,
one of the poor-law guardians, appear to have taken
grave offence at this act of Mr. Ilm..oues's, as a most
unseasonable, or, at any rate, unwarrantable act of
common humanity. The medical officer stated, on
his examination by the Coroner, that the eruption
which the man was labouring under he immediately
concluded to be the small-pox, for which he sent
him a powder, desiring the landlady to give the patient
some arrowroot and gruel from time to time, and he id
not visit him for some days after. He declared his
opinion at that time that the man had taken the disease
favourably, but admitted that the disease was approach-
ing its crisis. He only visited him a second time, on
being instructed by the overseer, whom he met at some
other part of the Union district, that TUCKWELL was very
"dangerously ill so. fast sinking, indeed, under the ex-
treme debility induced by the virulence of the disease
and the want of stimulants, that this Mr. WHITCOMB
himself, who seems, by the way, to have formed a most
erroneous estimate of the intensity of the disorder and
the character of its " crisis," immediately directed
wine and brandy-and-water to be administered. The
poor man died, however, for the relief seems to have come
too late. Now, we must designate the evidence given
by Mr. WEtrrcoant as marked by want of
candour and a want of feeling such as we should be
sorry to believe are often to be found in gentlemen,
members of his profession, and occupying such situa-
tions. It is clear, from his own statement, that his
sympathies are occasional only, and technical. He says
that—" had the case been brought under his notice in
the proper manner—that is, by an order of the Relieving
Officer—he should certainly have felt it his duty to visit
the man the day after his first visit." And, to be sure,
how could a practitioner of Mr. WHITCOMB'S eminence
be expected to visit a miserable wretch, mortally struck
with a terrible disease, upon an order emanating from
no higher or more dignified authority than an assistant-
overseer ? Accordingly, he took care to let the
jury understand that "he is not compelled to visit
any sick upon an overseer's order more than once,
even in cases of emergency." The assistant overseer,
Mr. Ihoorsts, who, on the representation of the land-
lady, had given this order, was afterwards told by Mr.
WOOD, the poor-law guardian, and SIDDILL, the reliev-
ing officer, that he had no business to have given that
order, and must pay the expenses of the medical atten-
dant and the medicines himself. From the testimony
of HEMMINGS, the cousin, and fellow-lodger of the de-
ceased, it is clear that Mr. WHITCOMB was excessively
annoyed at being twice applied to (and applied to in vain)
by HEMMINGS to visit TUCKWELL before he went to him
under the instructions of the proper officer. Mr. WOOD,
the poor-law guardian, was extremely wroth at the
evidence of BELTS, which contained, he said, not a word
of truth. But inasmuch as between Mr. WHITCOMB,—
who deposed that he made a report of this case on the
night of his first visit to TUCKWELL, and also (if
we understand him) another after his second
visit to the Rochester Board of Guardians,—and Mr.
WOOD, those reports were not forthcoming, the Coro-
ner very properly adjourned the inquest to a future day,
in order to give time for the production of those impor-
tant documents, which we must suppose to be in exist-
ence, for the further information of the jury; and also
to have the opportunity cf examining all parties whom-
soever who might have it in their power to throw any
light upon this painful case. We are glad to observe,
that on the part of the Poor-law Commissioners an offi-
cer has been deputed to watch these proceedings. They
owe it to their own station and authority, and still more
to public opinion, to make a most searching examination
into all the facts of the case, and we trust that should
ulterior proceedings against any parties be rendered
necessary by the result of the inquest, the Commis-
sioners will not leave us to complain of any indisposition
un their part promptly to adopt them.

The following letter from Halberstadt furnishes fur-
ther particulars relating to the preaching of Abbe
Ronge
.‘ Halberstadt, Aug. 10.
" On Wednesday afternoon Abbe Rouge, who has nume-
rous partisans in this place, delivered his first sermon at
Halberstadt, in the open air, and in the yard of the cathedral,
before several thousand persons of every age and sex.

" As soon as he had pronounced the last words of his sermon,
which were these,—' Yes, brethren, Rome ought to fall, and
she will fall!' a rustling noise was heard among the por-
tion of the audience nearest the pulpit, when a salesman,
well known for the fervour of his religious belief,
rushed forward after Abbe Ronge, who had just left the
pulpit, and endeavoured to throw a stone at him. The per-
sons who were near this fanatic held him back and prevented
him realising his culpable intention ; but at the same instant
a young man struck, with a heavy stick, a violent blow upon
the back of Abbe Ronge, who immediately fell on the ground.
The Abbe got up and ran away, but soon afterwards was
further ill-treated by several other men ; and it was only with
great difficulty, and through the protection afforded him
by a great number of his friends, that he succeeded in gaining
the hotel he lodged at.

" Some moments after a crowd of his partisans walked
through the streets of the town, and threw stones at the windows
of the houses they thought to be inhabited by Roman
Catholics. The police put all their agents on foot to appease
the tumult, but their efforts were useless ; the rioters breathed
only rage and vengeance. The military were called out, some
detachments of infantry and cavalry appeared, and after having
ordered the rebels to retire, which was not obeyed, the troops
charged them, and blood flowed in abundance. The German
Catholics went in crowds to the Rue de la Digue, where dwelt
the salesman who had endeavoured to throw a stone at Abbe
Ronge • they barricaded themselves in this narrow street, and
demolished from top to bottom the house of this individual.
It was only then they separated, and that tranquillity was
re-established in Halberstadt.

" The number of the killed and wounded is not at present
known ; that of the perrons arrested is upwards of 150. The
Royal Court of Magdeburg has instituted an inquiry into the
affair, and will judge it when the inquiry has terminated."

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort states, from
Leipsic, the 13th, that the number of persons killed is
nine, and the vt ounsled from thirty to forty, and adds,
that the municipal authorities, in order to prevent new
excitement, had refused to allow the dead to be buried
publicly. A Leipsic letter of the 14th, in the Universal
German Gazette, has the following:—
" The number of dead up to this time is fourteen. Luther's
hymn, sung by the crowd, produced a deep sensation in the
whole eity. in addition to the infantry, we have now several
battalions of cavalry. There is the best feeling here towards
the King, but this is not the case as regards other members
of the Royal Family. A meeting has taken place of 700
students and 2,000 citizens, in which it was declared that the
murder of the citizens should be avenged, but only by legal
means. It was resolved to send a deputation to the King, with
an address of loyalty and devotedness. The following is the
address of the Municipal Council to his Majesty Sire, we,
in common with our fellow-citizens, friends of law and order,
deeply regret the sad events which have occurred here. We
declare respectfully, from a sense of duty towards your Ma-
jesty, our fellow-citizens, and ourselves, that we are the more
grieved the Communal Guard was not employed to re-establish
order, as it would have prevented the calamity which has fallen
upon us. We supplicate your Majesty to order a rigid inquiry
as to the conduct of all who took part in these events, on what-
ever side they may be. In this period of agitation our hope is
in the wisdom and justice of your Majesty, and in your un-
failing solicitude for the welfare of the country. Your Ma-
jesty will deign to receive the expression of the devotedness of
our city and of our unshaken fidelity.' "
The University has adopted measures to induce the
students to abstain from taking part in any turbulent.
demonstration ; and the Municipal Council has ordered
that all public places shall be closed at nine o'clock, and
has issued a proclamation inviting masters of houses to
keep their families within doors after eight o'clock The
rural guard are charged with the maintenance of order
in the town.

The Swiss journals state that the Chamber of Com-
merce at Geneva has received the postal treaty concluded

between the Confederation and France rt lating to the cor-
respondence of Switzerland with France, Algeria, Eng-
land, and other countries whoso letters pass through
France. In virtue of this treaty, the inhab:tants of Ge-
neva will have to pay for !otters to the arrondissement
of Gex only 10 centimes, the Geneva postage included ;
for those of the departments of the Ain and Jura 20c.,
instead of 40c. ; that of Lyons remains 40c. ; but that of
Paris, Bayonne, Brest, the rest of France, and Algeria,
is to be no more than 40c. ; that to England is to be
80c. Letters between Paris and Geneva may be franked
at 40c. ; the present postage is 11. The treaty pro-
vides that in case of the postage within France being
reduced to 20c., the Geneva letters shall be reduced to
30c., including the Geneva charge.

Madrid papers of the 11th and 12th have been re-
ceived.

They all comment on the order for the restitution of
the Church property to the secular clergy, which is re-
garded by all parties as a retrograde step towards
Rome and absolutism, and applauded or lamented
accordingly.

The Commandant-General of Malaga, CAMINERO,
has been dismissed. ntsticasco FuLcosxo has been
named to replace him.
According to the Espect.rdor, many officers in garrison
in Madrid, had been dismissed from their corps and
ordered to take up their residence in various towns,
thirty or forty leagues off, without any reason being
assigned for such orders.

A:Madrid letter of the l lth informs us that the taxes
are become more productive, and are more readily paid,
nod that the Minister has demanded an advance of 14
millions of reals from the btkuk of St. Ferdinand, with
the certainty of its being covered by the receipts of
October.

The Three per Cents. closed at 311 cash, 31i at 60
days-13,500,000 reals done ; the Five per Cents., 22
cash-3,000,000 reals done.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
A letter from Toulon appears in the Cou, jar Francais,
from which it appears that en the 11 th and 12th inst.-
several matches similar to those found at Marseilles
were discovered in various parts of the arsenal. One of
them was placed under a frigate which is en the stocks.
La lieforme does not hesitate to ascribe the origin of the
Toulon fire, and of that which recently occurred at Algiers,
to the instiga lion of perfide Albion. Does it not strike these
gentlemen that the late continuous rains which have de-
stroyed the harvests in Paton are also to be attributed
to the instigation of perfide Albion ?
The Commerce says that the Duke DE MONTPENSIER
has given up the intention of visiting Constantinople.
It appears, says the Commerce—

"That the Prince has among his suite several officers, na-
tives of Algeria, whom he intend, d to present to the Sultan.
Chekih, on being informed of this fact, told M. Borqueney that
such a proceeding would give displeasure to the Ottoman Go-
vernment, because if the Sultan was to receive those spahis as
French officers, it would be implicitly recognising the right of
France to the possession of Algeria. Baron Bourqueney, on
receiving that intimation, immediately dispatched a messenger
to the Prince, requesting him to postpone his visit to the capital
of Turkey." " The.cordial understanding between the Ambas-
sadors of Great Britain ,'and France," adds the Commerce,
" so seriously compromises' by the events of last year, is be.
ginning to be re-established. This change is viewed with
satisfaction by the reasonable men of both nations, and paiticu-;
larly the merchants. Everybody feels that when those two
representatives are at variance they are unable to watch over
the interests of their respective countrymen, and lose all the
influence they had acquired in the country. Russia alone
benefits by their disunion."
The National has a Fong article on the subject of the
cruelties lifactised. by_, Marshal BuoEa (JD towards the
troops in Algiers. It is generally believed that he is
'recalled; but many 'persons who ought to bd well in-
formed on the subject doubt the truth of the report.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were 3,000 to 4,000 bales,
including 400 fur export, and 300 on speculation. There was
no change in prices.—For Shares the market was dull and
heavy.

The letters and papers by the Great Western were delivered
this morning, and we perceive that Brother Jonathan " cal-
culates" on supplying us to some extent with his corn.
The trade of the United States with Great Britain depends
almost solely upon two circumstances:. the activity of our
manufacturing industry, and the state of the weather. With
an active demand for our fabrics, we become more liberal
customers for cotton and other important staples—with a
deficient harvest we take more grain. Under any circum-
stances, therefore, the Americans should exhibit the most de-
cided disposition to make their tariff favourable to those to
whom they owe so much.
The West India private accounts bear out the favourable
tenor of the advices given iu another part of The Sun. The
weather was good, the crops promised well, the labourers, if
not working hard, were going on as steadily at least as

progressing in most of the colonies. The island of Barbadoes
had at least been blessed with abundant-showers.

'This Funds have been flat again to-day, not having re-
covered the decline of yesterday afternoon. Consols realise
98% to 99 for present transfer, and are 99 for time. Exche-
quer-bills have been a little steadier at 508. premium. The
New Three-and- a-Quarter per Cents. are marked 102% %,
and Three-per-Cents. 99% 3/4. -
The foreign investments are more neglected than ever.
Spanish Three-per Cents realise 3814 %. Peruvian Bonds
are at 39. Venezuela Stock is worth 44%. Dutch Four-per-
Cents. are 100%.
The Railway Shares are more dealt in to-day, and appear
to be brought to sale rather in excess of the requirements of
purchasers. There ale a few exceptions, however, as our
list will show. The flatness of some of the provincial markets
is against the maintenance of prices here.

LONDONDERRY and ENNISKILLEN
RAILWAY COMPANY.(THIS DAY.)
The first general meeting of the Shareholders in this
Company was held this day, at the Guildhall Coffee
House.

The chair was taken shortly after one o'clock by Mr.
Ferrers, chairman of the Company.
The SECRETARY (Mr. Hemmings) read the report,
which was to the effect that the Act of Incorporation had
been obtained with comparatively little expense, the only
difficulty having been to satisfy the Marquis of Aber-
corn that his property would not be damaged by the
line. Sir John M'Neil had resigned the office of en-
gineer, ankivir. Robert Stephenson had been appointed in
his stead. Of the new lines proposed in Ireland the only
one which would affect the interests of this Company was
the Dublin and Enniskillen, which there was reason to
hope would be sanctioned by Parliament next session.
The works to Strabane and Newtown-Stewart would be
shortly finished. A call of 2/. would be made in Octo-
ber next, and three more calls next year. The general
account of receipts and disbursements showed a charge
of 25,0001., in deposits of 2L 10s. per share on 10,000 shares.
The Disbursements were—
Parliamentary Expenses
1
Engineering Expenses
,500
Salaries

Total
Leaving a balance of 20,050/.—(Hear, hear.)
The SECRETARY then read also the report of the en-
gineers appointed to survey the line after the retirement
of Sir John M'Neil. These gentlemen suggested se-
veral departures from that engineer's plan, which could
not be accomplished without application to Parliament.
The report strongly urged the necessity of going on with
the works with as little delay as possible, on the ground
that there will, at no distant period, be a great rise in
wages on account of the number of railways about to be
undertaken in Ireland.

The surveyors expressed their confidence that the line
would be completed at a cost within the capital of the
Company.
The report was then unanimously adopted.
A PROPRIETOR then moved a resolution, to the effect
" That the thanks of the shareholders be given to
the Directors for their attention and exertions in pro-
curing the Act of Parliament at so comparatively
small an expense, and for the satisfactory report and
statements which they had laid before this meeting of
the proprietors."
The resolution was seconded and carried unanimously,
and with applause.

The common seal of the Company was then put to the
Register of Shareholders.

A vote of thanks to the Chairman was carried in the
same manner, and the meeting separated.

----------
The Gazette of last night contains an Ordtr in
Council, dated June 30, 1845, for the purpose of carrying into
execution that part of the County Coroner's Act, which relates
to the division of counties into districts, within which the office
of coroner is to be exercised. By the Act certain conditions
are prescribed before this division can be made; and the county
of Oxford having complied with these conditions, that county is
accordingly divided into central, northern, western, and
southern districts. The Gazette also contains an Order in
Council, 'fated August 3, exempting vessels belonging to the
kingdom of the Two Sicilies, under 60 tons burden, from the
necessity of taking pilots in all eases where it is not required
of British vessels of the same tonnage. Notice is also given of
a series of arrangements and regulations for the examination of
Masters and Mates in the Mer-hant Service.
THE FIRES AT QUEBEC;—The Lords of the Ad-
miralty have sent instructions to the officers of the Royal
William Victualling -yard, at Stonehouse, to deliver for the use
of the sufferers by the fire at Quebec, 4,395 blankets, 100 blue
jackets, 200 pairs of shoes, 190 flannel drawers, 200 pairs of
'worsted stockings, 200 flannel waistcoats, and 400 shirts.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England sat 1,0-
day in his private room, to hear any pressing applica-
tions. His Honour disposed of several cases of no
gene rat interest, and others were ordered to stand over
fur further information, or in consequence of some in-

formality.
It is generally understood that his Honour will sit
again on Saturday..

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner IIoLRoYD.)
IN RE GIBBS.

The Learned COMMISSIONER proceeded to give judg-
ment on the bankrupt's application for a certificate ; he

had carried on busin'ess a.s a scrivener, and was an at-
torney. The Learned Commissioner said the bankrupt
had been for some years in a hopeless state of insol
vvncy, and had borrowed money at a rate of interest
-nothing could justify. There had been an annual
1066 from 1823 to 1843, which had continued to ad-
vance, as from 1837 to 1843 it amounted to
38,0001. At the time of the bankruptcy he
owed 116,0001., and liabilities, 81,0001. more. The
a. sets have only realized about 5,0001., and vi ry little
mire was expected, so that after payment of the ex-
penses, the probability ua,, that the dividend would be
only Is. in the pound. 'The bankrupt had altogether
failed acting the part of an honest tradesman. In
twenty years his payments fur discounts amounted to
90,000/. The rate of discount ranged from 25 to 60 per
cent., and most of the money was appropriated to his own
use. The Learned Commissioner alluded to several cases
of fraud,establi.lhed against the bankrupt., particularly 'in
representing that Lord Strathmore's estates were unen-
cumbered, obtaining bills from General Wyndham to the
amount of 15,0001., which he got discounted a few days
after at 40 per cent., and appropriate d the money to his
own use. Reviewing the circumstances, he was bound
to refuse the certificate.
