It is understood that several items are considerably under-rated, but
the last Act of Parliament on .the subject of election riots gives the
power to Magistrates of allowing only 301. for damage unstained in
riots. In consequence of this notice, we believe, a number of inhabi-
tants are about dining a requisition to the Churchwardens, calling on
them to appoint a vestry to take the matter into consideration, and, if
thought advisable, to resist the claim made upon the town.—Bassos
Gauen*.

A good deal of excitement has been produced in the neighbourhood
of Wigan during the last few days, by the announcement of the death
of Mr. Roger Leigh, of Leeds (the brother of Sir Robert Holt Leigh,
of Hindley-hall), who, wl h his brother and many other persons, had
been brutally maltreated at Wigan, during the election there of the 7th
instant. As the it .trearment of Mr. Leigh took place on the 4th inst.
and his death on the 13th, it was rather naturally taken for granted his
lite bad fallen a sacrifice to the ill-treatment which he had experienced,
and statements to that effect have appeared in some of the London and
provincial newspapers. We understand, however, there is not the
slightest reason for supposing that such is the fact. The personal in.
juries which Mr. Leigh received at the election were by no means of a
serious nature ; and no doubt is entertained by his medical attendants
that be died from the effects of an inflammation of the lu4s. It op.
pears that at the time of the election, whilst labouring tinder a severe
cold, he was even greatly heated and excited by the riotous peessedings
which took place, and, being pursued by the mob, he took shelter in a
public-house, and whilst in a state of protium perspiration, concealed
himself la a cold garret, where he remained several hours. This pro.
duped some symptoms of inflammation, which perhaps might have
been checked by timely bleeding ; but be declined submitting to that
operation until it was too late; and even a very short time before death
be was imprudent enough to venture out for the purpose of visiting his
brother, 84 Robert, who was confined to his house by the injuries he
had received. So little doubt was entertained with regard to the cause
of his death, that it was thought quite unnecessary to hold an Inquest,
and the body was interred on Thursday morning.

incothe of two guineas per annum, or shoot 10d per diem for his spiri-
tual avocation at Berechurch. Meeting Sir Henry the other day,
Searles respectfully reminded the wsethy baronet that half.a.yeat'e as.

the following conversation meta : Sir ilevery.—Why, Scales, 1

our King has told us to send two reformers, and I voted as my mind
told me was right. Sir Henry—Oh, no; it was all wrong—quite
wrong. However, Searles, I have been thinking the trills you get can
hardly be worth the trouble, and, therefore, I shall not want your ea-
vices at Berechurch any more.

OPENING THE COFFIN OF RING CHARLES THE FIRST,
At Windsor, April 1, 1813, in the presence of Ms late Majesty.
On removing the pall, a plain leaden coffin, with no ap-
pearance of over having been inclosed in wood, and bearing
an inscription" King Charles, 1648," in large legible cha-
racters on a scroll of lead encircling it, immediately pre-
sented itself to view. A square opening was then made in
the upper part of the lid, of such dimensions as to admit of a
clear insight into its contents. These were an internal wooden
coffin, very much decayed, and the body carefully wrapped up
in cerecloth, into the folds of which a quantity of unctuous of
greasy matter, mixed with resin, as it seemed, had been
melted, so as to exclude, as effectually as possible, the ex-
ternal air. The coffin was completely full, and from the tena-
city of the cerecloth great difficulty was experienced in de-
taching it successfully from the parts which it enveloped.
Wherever the unctuous matter had insinuated itself, the se-
paration of the cerecloth was easy ; and when it came off, a
correct impression of the features, to which it had been
applied, was observed in the unctuous substance. At
length, the whole face was disengaged from its covering.
The complexion of the skin of it was dark and disco.
loured. The forehead and temples bad lost little or nothing
of their muscular substance; the cartilage of the nose
was gone ; but the left eye, in the first moment of expo-
sure, was open and full, though it vanished almost hums-
diately ; and the pointed beard, so characteristic of the pe-
riod of the reign of King Charles, was perfect- The shape
of the face was a long oval; many of the teeth remained;
and the left ear, in consequence of the interposition of the
unctuous matter between it and the cere-cloth, was found
entire. It was difficult at this moment to withhold a decla-
ration, that notwithstanding its disfigurement, the counte-
nance did bear a striking resemblance to the coins, the
busts, and especially to the pictures of King Charles I. by
Vandyke, by which it has been made so familiar to us.
When the head had been entirely disengaged from the
attachments which confined it, it was found to be loose, and
without any difficulty was taken up, and held to view. It
was quite wet, and gave a greeaish red tinge to paper and
' to linen.—The back part of the scalp was entirely perfect,
and had a remaskably fresh appearance. The hair was
thick at the back part of the head, and in appearance
nearly black. A portion of it which has since been cleaned
and dried, is of a beautiful dark brown colour. That of the
beard was a redder brown. On the back part of the head
it was not more than an inch in length, and had probably
been cut so short for the convenience of the execution, or
perhaps by the piety of friends soon after death, to furnish
memorials of the unfortunate Monarch.

On holding up the head, to examine the place of separa-
tion from the body, the muscles of the neck bad evidently
retracted themselves considerably ; and the fourth cervical
vertebra was found to be cut through its substance trans-
versely, leaving the surfaces of the divided portions per-
fectly smooth and even; an appearance which could have
been produced only by a heavy blow, indicted with a very
sharp instrument, and which furnished the last proof want-
ing to identify the body of King Charles the First. After
this examination of the bead, and without examining the
body below the neck, it was immediately restored to its
situation, the coffin was soldered up again, and the vault
closed."—[From a volume, just published, entitled, " Es-
says and Orations," by Sir Henry Halford.]
