CORONER'S INQUEST ON TILE BODY.

The murderer, up to Friday last, refused to answer
any of the interrogatories ; but on Friday night he
became more communicative, and said that his name
was Cliarles Lynn, and that he was a cooper by trade,
and lately worked at Vauxhall, in Surrey, where his
idowed mother and two sisters were now residing.
He said that the name of his victim should never
escare Iris lips; but, in the course of the short time of
his being in custody, he has more than once mentioned
the name of Hogg, and when he has discovered that
the name had escaped him, he seemed to wish to with-
draw the attention of those persons COI whom he was
present, and appeared to regret he had been so incau-
tious. On being asked what brought them into that
part of the country ? he said that he and his compa-
nion were on their road to Liverpool to seek employ-
ment. The object the prisoner had in view in murder-
ing his companion still remains in &ricness.
The prisoner has frequently attempted to destroy
himself. On Fr Hay night he jumped upon the table
in the room at the Haunch of Venison, and threw him-
self head foiemo.t to the ground, with such violence
that his skull was severely lacerated. In consequence
of these attempts he was strongly handcuffed, and his
elbows pinioned behind him.
Saturday an Inquest was held at the Haunch of
Venison public-house, in the village of Whaddon, be-
fore -- Barnham, Esq. Coroner for that part of the
country, and after taking a view of the body, and
hearing the evidence of the mere who saw the blows
struck, and who seized the prisoner, the Jury returned
a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Charles Lynn."
The prisoner was then committed, on the Coroner's
warrant, to Aylesbury Gaol, to await his trial at the
Assizes. As he proceeded, he made several attempts
to throw himself out of the chaise window, but was
prevented by the constables that were with him. When
the chaise drove up to the prison he again threw
himself head first out of the door on the pavement,
but received no injury ; and notwithstanding he was
watched carefully all night he thrust his head into the
fire. Such was his violence that it was found expedient
to secure him with a strait waistcoat:

It appears by advice: from Mexico, received through
New York, that the Mexican Government, on the 13th
of July last, adopted a Decree abolishing the Slave
Trade for ever. The law was to be immediately carried
into effect. The following are the enactments of this
law, which reflect the highest credit upon the country ;
/ammo= IT A LAW PAWN ON VW 1381 i IT attLY, 1824, MUM

INS WI MATZ TIADIL

" 1. The commerce-antitraffic of slaves, under whatsoever =-
doe or Dag, is for ever prohibited in the territories of the Mexican
United States.-2. The slaves that may be introduced against the
tenor of the above ankle, shall become free, by the fact of touch-
ing the Mexican territory.-5. Every and each vessel, be they
national oe foreign, in which slaves are transported on the Mexican
territory, shall be immediately confipeated, together with the re-
mainder of their cargo, and the °war and purchaser, the captain
and pilot will suffer ten years' imprisonment.-4. This law shall
have its effect from the day of its publication ; but, as to the penal-
ties stated in the above article, it will not take effect until after six
months, respecting the colonists, who, in virtue of the laws of the
14th October last, on the colonization of the Isthmus of Hem-
coalcos land slaves, in order to introduce them in the Mexican ter-
ritory."
The population of Cheltenham may be estimated at
nearly 20,000. In the census taken in 1821, the return
was 13,388. Since that period no lest than 7000 addi-
tional houses have been assessed tn.the poor-rate.' Up-
wards of 500 houses are now building, and as many
more are in contemplation. The following extract from
the Parish Register is corroborative of the increased po.
potation of the town during the last year :—Baptisms in
1823, 481; in 1824, 551—Increases 70.

EiTRAORDINARY INQUEST'.
Satutday evening an-inquest was held at the sign ut
the Lord Nelson public-house, in the Kent-road, before
C. Jursorry, Esq. on the.body of Richard Wilson Dick.
son, M.D. who died on the 17th September last, ever
since which time, a Lady, the cousin of the deceased,
who is a most eccentric character, has kept the body of
her relative in the house, not permitting a creature to
enter the apartment where the corpse was placed, and
peremptorily refusing to permit the body to be interredi
declaring to those who made application to her for that
purpose, that the remains of Dr. Dickson should be una
buried until the day of resurrection rather than submit
to have it deposited in any sanctuary but that which
the King had promised to grant esclu-ively for the re:
}ics of the deceased. The parish officers of Cat/du:mei
having been lately apprised of these facts, judged it est
pedient to institute an inquiry into the circumstances el'
the deceased's death, as many extraordinary reports h.W.
been circulated in the neighbourhood respecting Uri
manner in which the deceased came to his death.
The Jury, after having been sworn, proceeded, actor.
panied by the Coroner, to view the body of the deceased,
which was at his late residence, a neat house on Camber.
well-terrace, near the Green Han turnpike, in the Kent-
road. On entering the house, the effluvium arising
from the corpse was intolerable. Tht body was placed
in a leaden coffin, in one of the rooms up stairs, the lid
of which had not been fastened down during the space
of nearly four months. In one ofthe hands was a paper,
containing an. account of the Doctor's Agricultural
Works, losses, &c. which was read to the Jury.

Some doubts were entertained of the soundneis of Miss Dickson'
mind a witness deposed that she had ordered a splendid coffin,
lined with crimson velvet, with bullocks' lures for handles, and
declared that his Majesty had erected a temple for the reception of
the corpse. The leaden coffin was never paid for.
The Jury observed that they were satisfied the deceased had
died a natural death, and a verdict to that effect was accordingly
returned.

The Coroner and Jury gave the necessary directions for the
mediate interment of the deceased.

Ann Frampton was charged by Mr. Davis, a general dealer k
japan goods, &c. who has a shop in the Strand, and other different
parts of the town, on suspicion of being concerned in robbing hi,
house of several articles of value. One of Mr. Davis's emus came
down stairs on Friday morning, and was soon after informed by
Ann Frampton, that upon her coming down the same morning, the
disc cvered the front shop door open. There was no appearauce cr
breaking open, and upon the belief that the robber was admitted
by some person within, suspicion attached to this girl. It was as-
certained that various articles had been carried off, and amongst
awns a silver teapot, which was iu Mrs. Davis's room, where she
slept, behind the shop, and in which a candle was bunting all night.
The boxes of the girl were searched, and also her brother's house,
but no trace of the stolen property was discovered. She declared
her innocence, and that when she went to bed, everything was is
its proper state, and the whole family was then up.
Mr. PHILLIPS cautioned Mr. D. upon the step he was taking,and
apprised him that persons were in the habit of visiting his house ui
whom he was ignorant; and inquired if some relative of his was
urn tried, in 1816, at the Old Bailey ?
Mr. Davis said he knew nothing of what occurred eight years
ago; he only came to speak of the present case. Mr. Potu.ses in.
paired of Mr. Davis's son-in-law, whether he had not beta robbed
of £7O on Christmas Eve, in some secret manner, in his house?
The son-in-law said he had, but he made no complaint. becau-e he
judged it was do -
