The Representatives in Parliament for this. B-
orough gave an elegant dinner at the Town-hall,
on Monday last, to about 300 persons, among
whom were many ot the principal inhabitants of
this place. After the cloth was removed, various
loyal, constitutional, and appropriate toasts were
drank, several excellent songs and glees ►were
sung, and mirth, harmony, and good humour,
prevailed during the whole of the afternoon. Col.
Trench apologised for the ahsence of his Hon.
Colleague, Mr. Cheere, who was deprived of the
pleasure ot meeting his friends by the dangerous
illness of his daughter.

'Yesterday an inquest was held at the Green.
.coat Boy, Tothill-tields, before Mr. GeLL, Co.
Toner for Westminster, on the body of Mrs. Sarah
Poole, aged 50. The deceased was a resnectabla
Lady residing in Willow-walk, Westminster ; on
the preceding day she dined with her family, and
appeared cheerful and in as good a state of health
as usual. In a few minutes after the dot!) was
removed, her bead sunk, and she fell off the
chair in a state of insensibility. The whole of
the family were very much alarmed at the circum-
stance, and a duet-►r was immediately sent for,
who attempted to bleed her, but in vain ; she ex-
pired instantly. Verdict—' Died by the visits•
tion of God."

Mlteina.—The body of Thomas Maxwell (who was ad-
vertised last week as missing front Moorthwaite) was found
in a wood near Scarrow Hill, concealed in a drain, murdered
by a shot through the head from behind, with his pockets
emptied of their contents. A strong suspicion having beets
entertained that this dreadful act was committed by a young
man named Lightfoot, servant to Mr. Leach, of Scarrow
he was immediately apprehended, and on Saturday lodged its
Carlisle gaol. It appears that Maxwell had been collecting
money of different persons, a circumstance well known to
Lightfoot; who, himself, it is said, paid the deceased a few
shillings. He was observed to take the gun from his master's
barn, go into the wood, and shortly afterwards the repent of
a gun was board, and smoke seen to rise front near the place
where the body was discovered. The wadding of the gun
was also picked up in the wood, consisting of a portion of an
014 Liverpool Newspaper, and the corresponding parr was
found in Mr. Leach's house. Lightfoot at first denied that he
had been in the wood at all that morning; but on being told
that he had been seen going thither, he confessed that he was
there for the purpose of shooting eushats. The Coroner's In-
quest held over the body of Maxwell, returned a verdict 0f—
.6 Wilful Murder against Lightfoot," and he was fully com-
mitted yesterday afternoon, by Mr. MULLENDLA, the CUIV.•

CURIOUS GOLD COIN. —A quantity of curious
old coin was lately found in Cornwall, and
brought a few days ago to Exeter for sale, con-
sisting chiefly of the current monies of King
EDWARD 1. IV. HENRY VII. and VIII. ; a great
part of which are in the highest state of preser-
vation ; among them are the full and side face
silver of Henry VII. and a remarkably bribt•
diant groat of the latter coinage ; also some
fine specimens of the groats, half-groats, and
pennies of Henry VIII. struck in the Mints of
London, Canterbury, York, and Durham, with
the initials of Cardinal Wolsey, Archbishop
Crantner, Archbishop Warham, Edward Lee,
Archbishop of York, Cur bertus Danelmensis
(Cuthbert Tunstall, Bishop of Durham ;) there
is likewise io a vet y fair and perfect state the ce-
lebrated groat with T. W. and the Cardinal's bat,
which occasioned one of the 44 articles ni im-
peachment for treason, exhibited against Cardinal
Wolsey in 1529, the 40,11 article of which ran
thus : " Also the said Lord Cardinal, of his
further pompous and presumptuous mind, hath
enterprise(' to join anti imprint
.o.;e Cardinal's Hat
under your arms in your coin of groats, made
at your City of York, which like deed hath not
yet been done by any subject within your realm
before this time." These coins were undoubtedly
collected and hoardeo during the period of Henry
VIII. as more than 50 of the groats that were
coined previous to his 16th or 18th year, with the
Fleur delis, phron, and rose mint mailts, ire near-
ly in as prime condition as when issued from the
mint, and none are later than 1545, the 35:h of that
King's reign. The collection has been putchased
by Mr. Shirley Woolmer, of this City. The groats
are about the size of the present altillitrs, but not
so thick.—(Exeter Paper.)
