CORONERS' INQUESTS.

SUICIDE.—Mr. Baker, the Coroner, held an in-
quest, on Saturday afternoon, at the Rose and Crown,
Bromley, upon the body of William Otley, of Ocean-
place, Stepney. From the evidence of a policeman of
the K division, it appeared that on Thursday night he•
was walking up a lane, on the Bromley side of the
Tower Hamlets Cemetery, and saw a man apparently
reclining against the rails. He, thinking that the
person was drunk, went up to assist him, and saw that
a rope was passed round his neck, the other end be-
ing attached to the rails. He (witness) lost not a mo-
ment in cutting the rope, and with the assistance of a
brother constable, who at the time arrived, conveyed
him to the Bromley station-house, where it was as-
certained that life was not quite extinct, and Mr.
Garman, surgeon, of Bow-road, tried to bleed him.
A few drops flowed, and almost immediately after-
wards he expired. Verdict—" Temporary insanity."
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. Payne held an inquest at
a late hour the same evening in St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, upon the body of William James, aged 37,
a milkman, residing at 83, Cannon-street, Walbrook.
It appeared from the evidence adduced, that the de-
ceased, his brother, and a servant, named David
Morgan, had gone upon Tuesday morning last to
Finchley in a chaise cart, drawn by a young horse,
which had been purchased by deceased just seven dap
before. When returning, about half-past five the
same morning, and on entering Finsbury-square, the
horse, on coming off the wood pavement on to the
stones, got frightened, and ran off. He had not pro-
ceeded, however, above fifty yards, when the cat t was
overturned, the deceased falling under it. He was
conveyed in a hackney-coach to the hospital, where
he died on Friday morning. Verdict—" Accidental
death."

INCENDIARY FIRES.

INCENDIARY FIRE NEAR NOTTINGHAM.

(Further particulars from the Notts Review.) --
A fire, under very painful circumstances, occurred
on Sunday morning last, which is undoubtedly the act
of an incendiary, and therefore must strike feelings of
terror and alarm into the hitherto singularly peaceable
and quiet neighbourhood where it has occurred. On
the above morning, Mr. Savage, a very respectable
farmer, a tenant of Lord Rancliffe's, and who resides
in the centre of the village of Bunny, was awakened
by the barking of the dog in the farm-yard, and
the noise of the cattle, and on looking,out of the
window, discovered that a very large stalk was in
flames about the centre. By great exertions the fire
was subdued by nine o'clocL, it haling got so much
into the stack that it had to be taken to pieces and
put out as it was thrown down. The singular and
fatal hold which the fire had, may be attributed, at
once and with truth, to its having been set on
fire in the centre, from which the flames rapidly
spread on the other side, and soon completed their
work of demolition. Under the stack was used
for, and formed, a very good hovel for cattle and carts,
and at the north end of the stack was the barn, with a
very large quantity of grain in sacks. It consisted of
from twenty-five to thirty quarters of wheat ; next the
barn was the produce of five acres of oats, and at the
other end were five acres of beans. The whole of the
wheat, and about two-thirds of the oats fell a prey to
the unsparing element. The remainder of the oats
and beans was saved, which could not have been done
had there been the slightest wind ; indeed a much
greater amount of damage would, no doubt, have been
caused_ in that case, as on the opposite side of the
yard are the stables, a wheat stack, a barley stack, and
a pea stack, two hay stacks, and in the middle a straw
stack. The stack burnt was forty yards long, so that
the extent of the conflagration may well be conceived.
Mr. Savage declares that no one had been on that
side of the yard that night with fire or candle. He
and the family went to bed about nine o'clock and he
was awoke as above stated. It must have been the
act of an incendiary, or the firing in the middle could
not have taken place.
A reward of 50/. has been offered by the Bunny and
Bradmore Association for the Prosecution of Felons,
of which Lord Rancliffe is President, for the discovery
of the villainous midnight depredator. We heartily
and sincerely trust he may be traced out.

TEE BURNEY PAPERS.—The New Volume (the
sth) of the Diary and Correspondeace of Miss Burney
will probably excite more attention than any one
which has yet appeared. The extraordinary scenes
in the Equerries'-room at Windsor Castle, be-
tween his late Majesty, when Duke of Clarence,
and the Ladies of the Queen's Household
the scene between George the Third and the Mayor
of Weymouth—the proceedings of Charles Fox at the
celebrated Literary Club on the breaking out of the
French Revolution—the adventures and escapes of
the Duke de Liancourt and the Marquis de Chatre,
related by themselves—the conversations of Burke,
Erskine, Windham, Fox, Warren Hastings, &c.—
the extraordinary scene at the Shakspeare Gallery
between Mrs. Wells, the actress, and the beautiful
Mrs. Crewe, and, above all, the Letters of Madame
de Steel to .Miss Burney,—these, comprise only a
few of the topics that will give an eclat to the new vo-
lume nat attained even by the most popular of its
predecessors. .
TEE METROPOLITAN.—There is no Magazine so
exactly shapedout for the lovers ofthat class of reading
denominated light, as the Metropolitan. None of all the
monthlies contain such a collection of sparkling nou-
velettes, and we decidedly set it down as the foremost
of its class. The "Savindro. ag ' still continued, full of
gorgeous descriptions of life among the nations of the
East, and the rites of their mythology. We like the
tale fully better than any of its kind we have met
with. The "Damosel, s Sale" is still continued with
its usual spirit, and the rest of the articles, for the
greater part, are new. The " Memoirs of a Royalist
Companion of Bonaparte, are ad-
officer,” . an early
vancing,.and there are also several other articles of
striking interest in the present Number which might
be mentioned, besides the Reviews, for which the 11,1 -

geIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
GLOBE.—The verdict g;ven on Thursday again.
the Brighton Railway Company, in an action brougl
Iby one of the sufferers through the accident which ex
curred some time ago on the line, has established tt
fact that the calamity in question was not the resu
of inevitable accident. The course taken by the Con
pany in endeavouring to nonsuit the plaintiff by
technical objection, withbut going into the men
of the case, was, we think, very far from judiciou
Had the Directors succeeded at once on their fir
plea, though they might have gained a leg .
verdict, they would have lost more in public cor
fidence than the whole amount at which tt-
damages were laid could have made up. If thei
had been really no want of care on the part of th
Company's servants, a full inquiry would have bee
courted rather than shrunk from. We are then
fore not surprised that some degree of negligen(
was established against the defendants when tl
merits of the case were gone into. It is, perhap
better after all for the Company that their defem
could not be established, and that neither of the
pleas availed them. If they had nonsuited the plaiiiti
on the technical ground that no notice had been give
in accordance with the statute they sought to take ad
vantage of, the public would have imagined they wer
afraid openly to meet the charge of negligence ; an(
on the other hand, had they established the secon
plea, amounting to an allegation that the calamity Iva
the result of inevitable accident, a pretext would hal
been afforded for increasing the prejudice again:
railway travelling. If such calamities as that whit
occurred on the Brighton line, when four lives wer
lost, and many persons injured, were to be ascribe
to the ordinary risk incurred by- going on a rail
road, it would operate strongly 'against the
mode of conveyance in general. Wheii' how
ever, it is seen that accidents arise only from
neglect of the proper precautions, the public will I
more likely to feel confidence in trusting themselve
on railways, if caution is rendered obligatory on th
parties entrusted with their superintendence an
management. The verdict against the Brighton Com
pany establishes the fact, that if proper care had bee:
shown, no accident need have occurred ; and the chit
thing to be provided against, therefore, is negligenc
or want of skill—both of which may be avoided of
every railway. The result of yesterday's trial it
consequently, favourable on the whole to the interest
of railway companies; inasmuch as it shows that i
depends chiefly on themselves to secure the confident
of the public.

laws, substituting two several scales of fixed duty, t(
be applied according to the terms upon which differen
countries would admit British manufactures-12s
per quarter or Gs., as he case might be. We believ(
that we can safely affirm that in this announce-
ment there is not one word of truth. They wh,
are not disposed to rely upon our simple con.
tradiction will do well to remember that the thin
s
announced is impossible, inasmuch as Great Britaia
is already bound by various treaties, as to the propor-
tions in which she will burthen the admission of the
produce of those countries with which we *trade—
treaties for the violation of .which no modification of
our Corn-laws can afford ani`pretext. It is not for
us to assign with certainty the origin of the fable
promulgated by our Whig Contemporary. It
may have had its birth in Mark-lane, and to
say truth, the story has some lineaments of
the meek and cunning family who occupy
that dove-cote ; or it may be the ingenious
suggestion of some %Vhig clerk in the Trea-
sury, or at the Board of Trade, who having been
called to furnish a particular return, has built this
project upon the demand ; Or it may be what in
schools and colleges is called " a shot "—a bold
assertion hazarded upon the calculation that it may
possibly be right, and that, even if wrong, it is no
worse than silence. The story may have originated
in one of these ways. All we are concerned to say
of it is, that it is not true. If our memory does not
deceive us, something of the same kind, as extrava-
gant and as false, was promulgated from the same
quarter about this time last year.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.

TlMES.—lnquiries instituted into the late sales of
Exchequer Bills show that they were made with the
view to discharge a dividend declared in the estate of
Ross and Ogilvie, bankrupts, who failed in 1804. It
appears that this firm, who were .engaged in business
as bankers and army agents, have not paid a dividend
to their creditors since 1817. At that date they paid
7s. 6d. in the pound, and since, under the operation of
the new law of bankruptcy, a dividend of 4s. 6d. in
the pound has been declared, to pay which Exchequer
Bills to the extent of 77,0001. were sold by order of
the Accountant-General in Bankruptcy. It is stated,
that under this estate the Government, for a compro-
mise of a claim they make, receive 55,000/. to 60,0001.
Froin the general gossip of the market it had been
premised that these sales had been made with the ob-
ject of avoiding the fall which a reduction oC the in-
terest on these securities was likely to cause in the
premium ; but it does not seem to be anticipated, in
well-informed quarters, that any change is likely to
take place in the rate paid upon them, unless it is on
the principle of assimilating the .March issues to those
which are redeemable in the approaching month of
June.

The corn-trade was thrown into considerable con-
sternation to-day by the announcement of another of
those failures which of late have so repeatedly Shown
the embarrassment which prevails in this branch 'of
business, but which seemed for a while toihave paused.
Messrs. J. L. Fernandez and Sons, who have long been
known as a firm carrying on a most respectable busi-
Bess as corn-factors in Wakefield, have, it is under-
stood, suspended their payments. Of the fact there
seems to be no doubt, although an evening paper al
ludes to it as a " scandalous rumour.
The two actions brought by Messrs. Acraman and
Co., of Bristol, against the London and County Bank,
for a considerable sum of money in respect of securi-
ties deposited with that bank by Messrs. Coils,
Thompson, and Co., and which were specially ap-
pointed to be tried in the Court of Exchequer on
Tuesday next, have been withdrawn by the plain-
tiffs. This affair is well known in the city, where it
has been a topic of frequent dikiission. The turn it
has now taken may have legal consequences of a very
important description.
CHRONICLE.—The treaty of peace with China
induced some sales from the public funds in anticipa-
tion that money would increase in value to invest in
manufactures, but it is now the current opinion that
the monetary, mercantile, and manufacturing inter-
ests must lay their account with farther changes in
our commercial system during next session of Par-
liament. The " sliding scale "of 1842 is already
looked upon rs doomed. The sugar duties are also
on the hooks of reform, and thus all that has been done
by the new tariff was merely a step to further change,
a disturber of every thitig, and a settler of nothing.
This state of transition, in which the country is placed,
not without fears, too, that the question of" currency"
may be involved in that of " corn," causes fresh
anxiety in the public mind, and must make men cau-
tious, or at least doubtful, in their dealings.
We never expected any permanency—any real re-
lief to trade from the legislation of last session, which
brought forth an odious Income-tax, an untenable at-
Corn-laws, and merely adopted
enough of free trade principles to expose the indus-
trioustempt to patch
classes to competition with the cheap-labour
goods of the Continent, without giving them the be-
nefit of cheap food, and the increased demand for their
labour, with better prices, which would have been ex-
perienced by the practical application to our commer-
cial code of the principles of free trade with foreign
nations, as respects the great leading articles of con-
sumption. .
POST.—Some explanation is demanded of us on
the subject of the remittances made on account of the
Mexican dividends.

to the payment of a future dividend, as the case may
be. lhe debenture holders will do right, however, to
keep their claims in view, and to insist upon a fair
and honest distribution of the funds, as authorised by
the stipulations of the last arrangement concluded
between the Mexican agency and the Committee of
Spanish American Bondholders. They gave a great
deal of money for their debentures, which they see
much cause to regret, as they are now a dead letter
in the stock lists, and from no other cause apparently
than an apprehended disposition on the part of the
Mexican authorities to give to all the active and more
numerous class of Bondholders, and nothing to theta
so long as it can be by any possibility avoided.

CURE Fon HYDROPHRIA.—At Udina, in Friule, a
poor man lying under the frightful tortures of
hydrophobia was cured with some draughts of vinegar,
given him by mistake instead of another potion. A
physician at Padua got intelligence of this event at
Udina, and tried the same remedy upon

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 12.
WELSHIRE V. BROWN.
This was an action brought to recover a sum of
3,0001. the amount of a policy of life insurance effected
with Law Life Insurance Company, of which the
defendant was the representative in this case.
The Attorney-General, Mr. Platt, and Sir G.
Lewin appeared for the plaintiff; and the Solicitor-
General, Si(.T. Wilde, Mr. Kelly, and Mr. White,
conducted the case on behalf of the defendant.
It appeared from the opening statement of the At-
torney-General, that the plaintiffhad been a land-sur-
veyor, residing at 'Mellen, Herts. In the month
of May, 1839, he had effected the insurance in ques-
tion' with the Law Life Insurance Company, having
referred the Company's agents to a friend of his, and
to a medical gentleman of the name of Johnson, as to
the state of his health. The plaintiff was then 29
years of age. - Hehad paid the premium on the policy
in 1839, and had paid another premium in May 1840;
hut towards the end of the latter year he died, and
died of pulmonary consumption, as was admitted upon
all hands. After his death the amount of the insur-
ance policy was claimed by his executors. The claim
was resisted by the Company, on the ground that the
decelsed had wade false representations as to the state
of his health, and had concealed circumstances which
he ought to have disclosed, and which would have
guided the agents of the Company in the matter.
Dr. James Johnson was the first witness called on
behalf of the plaintiff. IVitne3s knew the late Mr.
Welshire. He first became acquainted with him in 1836,
when he was consulted by Mr. Welshire for an attack
of inFluenza. In 1838, the deceased went abroad, by
the advice of Witness, for the benefit of his general
health. In the month of April 1839, the deceased ap-
plied to witness for a certificate, he being at the time,
about to insure his life. `Witness then examined him
carefully, and could detect in him no traces of any
disease. He appeared to he wholly free from any
pulmonary complaint. Witness then nave a certificate
in which he stated he considered Mr. Welshire a good ;
insurable life. A series of questions were- afterwards
put to witness in writing by the agents of the Law
Life Insurance-office ; and to those questions witness
answered to the satisfaction of the Company..
(The
certificate and the answers of witness to the agents of

IN RE RICHARD LOUIS WEST.
In this case the insolvent had been a horse-dealer
and job-master. He had become bankrupt in the
year 1834, when the debts owing were about 5,7001.,
out of which ss. in the pound was paid. In 1837 he
passed through this Court, but no dividend was then
available for his creditors, and the sum he now sought
to be released from was about 8001.
It appeared that he had been in the habit of buying
largely at the northern horse fairs, and about eighteen
months ago he bought four carriage-horses from a
breeder named Well 3, which he brought up to Lon-
don, and one of which he alleged was diseased.
Not having accounted satisfactorily for the disposal
of these horses in his schedule, the case was adjourned
to get further evidence.

circumstance all three would probably have reached
the shore. It seems that Mr. Hitchings agreed to
remain with his young friend and the boat till the
other should succeed in making the land, with the
view of.procuring assistance. Here a series of mis-
fortunes happened which it is painful to reflect on :
the brother who swam on shore, and who was near-
sighted, unfortunately lost .his spectacles at the
time of the accident; this naturally added to
his fright, and his limbs being benumbed with
cold, himself fatigued with swimming, and the shore
whereon he landed strange to him and covered with
wood, he lost his way, and after wandering about for
two hours, found himself at the identical place at which
he started, and still in sight of the boat : here he saw the
other two poor fellows still clinging to it; he called
out to them, and poor Hitchings made for answer
that they were both nearly exhausted. He then made
another trial for assistance, and after the lapse of two
more hours obtained a boat ; but it was too late—
all both had disappeared. Poor Hitch-
ing.swlals over—both
by his friend until the latter par-
tially sank, and the boat having lost its equili•
brium, he made one dying struggle for the shore ;
but his benumbed and paralyzed frame was unequal
to it. He was found not far from the shore, in only
four feet water, in the attitude of swimming, a corpse.
The other was found by the boat.—Oxford Herald.
The following is an extract from the Kingston Ga-
zette, Upper Canada :—Mr. Jamieson was only nine-
teen years of age. Mr. Hitchings was a native of
Oxford, in England,
and connected with some of the
most respectable inhabitants of that city. In the
year 1830 he came to this country for the purpose
of entering into the profession of the law. He was
subsequently
called to the bar, and practised
f'or several years at Toronto—where his fine talents
arid high legal
attainments,
perseverance and strictly h combined with great
honourable conduct, soon
secured him a successful practice. On the establish-
ment of a Court of Chancery in the Province, Mr.
H. having determined to confine his practice to that
Court, for which the cast of his mind peculiarly
qualified him, with characteristic energy proceeded
to England, and entered the chambers of the
celebrated equity counsel and reporter, Mr. Russell.
On his return to this country he immediately ob-
tained a highly lucrative and extensive equity prac-
tice, which has been constantly increasing until
his untimely death. The last act of his life
strikingly illustrated the kindliness of !wart and
utter want of regard f:r self which have ever marked
his character. He was an excellent swimmer, and
could have reached the shore without difficulty, had
he not refused to leave Mr. Jamieson, who was un-
able to swim, and he thus sacrificed his life in the in
effectual attempt to save that of another.

IN RE WILLIAM CARTER.

This insolvent, 'who had followed no occupation,
was opposed on the part of Mr. Nathaniel Hartland,
the public officer of the Gloucester Banking Company
at Evesham, as also for a Mr. John Hudson, wine-
merchant, at Chich2ster.
The disclosures in this case relating to bill transac-
tions were of an unusual character. The insolvent,
who is much advanced in years, was father-in-law of
a person known by the name-of "Pea-green" Hayne,
and who, it came out, had died in a lunatic asylum,.
after having squandered away a splendid fortune. The
insolvent was discharged under the Act in the year
1832, and the debts on that occasion which remained
unpaid were 9,931/. 6s lid. The debts and liabili-
ties in the present schedule were 7,9631. 17s. 6d., of
which sum 4,0541. were on accommodation bills
1,6001. more than once entered, and the bona fide
debts 2,3091. 17s. 6d. Orx the other side 1201. was
mentioned as bad debts. 'lt was said that the credits
on the former schedule were set forth at 10,0001. Mrs.
Carter had a separate property to some extent.
The insolvent was questioned on some bill trans.
actions he had with Mr. Borthwick, M.P. He said
(after an exposition of his former and present incum-
brances) that he had accepted two bills of exchange
in January last for-1,000/. each, for the accommoda-
tion of Mr. Borthwick, which bills were now in the

A respectably dressed girl named Elizabeth Ives
was charged on suspicion of stealing a quantity of
wearing apparel, the property of Mr. Derwentwater
Radcliffe, of the Strand, her master.
Mr. Radcliffe stated that the prisoner had lived with
him as servant about six weeks, but owing toher being
insolent she had been discharged. Since she had
left they had missed a quantity of wearing ap-
parel and table linen. Since this discovery he
(Mr. Radcliffe) had visited a patient in his capacity
as surgeon, and speaking of the circumstance of the
prisoner's leaving, the gentleman said he was sur-
