LEON BONA PAZTE.

" Longwood, St. Helena, May 6, 1821.
" On a superficial view, the body appeared very fat, which
state was confirmed by the first incision down its centre, where
the fat was upwards of one inch and a half over the abdomen.
On cutting through the cartilages of the ribs, and exposing the
cavity of the thorax, a trifling adhesion of the left pleura was
found to the pleura costalis. About three ounces of reddish fluid
were contained in the left cavity, and nearly eight ounces in the
right. The lungs were quite sound. ' The pericardium was na-
tural, and contained about an ounce of fluid.

0 The heart was of the natural size, but thickly covered with
fat. The auricles and ventricles exhibited nothing extraordinary,
except that the muscular parts appeared rather paler than natural.
" Upon opening the abdomen, the omentum was found re-
markably fat; and on exposing the stomach, that viscus was
found the seat of extensive disease. Strong adhesions connected
the whole superior surface, particularly about the pyloric extre-
mity to the concave surface of the left lobe of the liver ; and on
separating these, an ulcer, which penetrated the coats of the sto-
mach, was discovered, one inch from the pylorus, sufficient to
allow the passage of the little finger. The internal surface of
the stomach, to nearly its whole extent, was a mass of cancerous
disease, or schirrous portions advancing to cancer: this was par-
' titularly noticed near the pylorus. The cardiac extremity, for
a small space, near.the termination of the oesophagus, was the
only part appearing in a healthy state. The stomach was found
nearly filled with a large quantity of fluid resembling coffee-
grounds. The convex surface of the left lobe of the liver ad-
hered to the diaphragm. With the exception of the adhesions
occasioned by the disease in the stomach, no unhealthy appear-
ance presented itself in the liver. The remainder of the abdo-
minal viscera were in a healthy state. A alight peculiarity in the
formation of the left kidney was observed. (Signed)

Regiments, the Artil'ery, Volunteers, and Marines, in all full
3000 men, were stationed on the surrounding hills, about half.-
way up ; and when the body was lowered into the grave, three
rounds of eleven vies were fired by the Artillery. Ills grze
was about fourteen feet deep, very wide at the top, but the lower
part chambered to receive the coffin. One large stone covered
the whole of the chamber. The remaining space was tilled up
with solid masonry, clamped with ion. Thus every precaution
is taken to prevent the removal of the body, and I believe it has
been full as much by the desire of the French Commissioners,
as from the wish of the Government of the Island. The spat
had previously been consecrated by his Priest. 'rhe body of
Bonaparte is inclosed in three coffins, of m. hogany, lead, and
oak. His heart, which Bertrand and Montholon earnestly de-
sired to take with them to Europe, was restored to the coffin,
but it remains its a silver cup, filled with spirits. His stomach
his surgeon was anxious to preserve, but that is also restored,
and is in another silver cup.
• As everything relating to so great a man must be of extreme
interest,l should tell you, that after having attended his funeral
I paid a visit to his residence. I was shown his wardrobe by
Marchand, his valet, and a more shabby set-nut I never beheld.
Old coats, hats, and pantaloons, that a Midshipman on shore
would hardly condescend to wear. But Marchand said, it was
quite an undertaking to make him put on anything new, and then
after wearing it an hour, he would throw it off, and put on the
old again.
" The last words Bonaparte uttered were tote—airs ernes
What their connection was in his mind, cannot be ascertained;
but they were distinctly heard, about Sve o'clock on the morning
of the day he dicd.
" An Officer's guard is appointed to watch over his grave.
" Bertrand, Montholon, and the rest of his household, will re-
turn to England in the CAMEL store-ship, 'which sails in about a
fortnight. Drawings have been taken by Captain Marryatt, of
the spot where Bonaparte lies buried, and also of the procession
to his funeral."

Friday night, about nine o'clock, a fire broke out
in the Castle Mills, behind the county jail, York; at
lengine from the barracks, and two from the city,
I *ere immediately procured ; and by eleven o'clock
the devouring element was entirely subdued. A large
quantity of flour, &c. rescued from the mills, was
guarded by several .of the barrack soldiers. The
property was all insured.
WANTON DEPRAVITY.—About ten o'clock in the

forenoon of yesterday week, some person or persons
set fire to the fine cover of liqg on Sherwood Forest,
about a mile south-east of Mansfield, below Mr.
Houldsworth's stables. From the dryness.of the hog,
and the wind blowing bi i,kly, the flames took a ra-
pid course for about five hours, reaching the fine
planting and eover called Rader Hill, where it
quickly broke in at the north-west corner, and bad
it not been for the prompt exertions of Mr. Harvey,
at the Bowling-gieen, with about twenty people whom
he called to his assistance, the entire of this beautiful
planting must &so have been consumed ; but they
happily succeeded in arresting the further progress
of the devouring element. Numbers of partridges
particularly the young ones, became a prey in the
destructive scene. About twenty-five ancient oak
trees were likewise greatly dam 4.ged, and one literally
burnt to the ground. It is estimated that about
GOO acres of hug, &c. arc destroyed. Mr. H. bOunti-
fully regaled the men at hi' house with bread, cheese,
and ale, and all seemed well rewarded.

A GORMANDISING TIIIEF.—For several nights the
larder of the house of Mr. BATES, of 20, Ely-place,
Hatton-garden, which is in the area of the house, had
been robbed of various articles of food, a barn, a cola
roast leg of lamb, two pie,;, bread, butter, cheese, &c.
a vessel of ale and a vessel of table beer, which were
in the beer cellar in the same area, were also emptied.
—The servants became alarmed, and the robbery
was attributed by them to some supernatural being.
About twelve o clock on Friday night, one of the
maid servants went into the cellar for some beer, ac-
companiad by another, being fearful to go alone, she
thought she saw a tall figure in black, standing in
one corner ; on looking more attentively she saw the
face of a man ; she gave a loud scream, and the
whole family were alarmed, the watchman and the
coachman were called in, and in the cellar th; y
found a man, dressed like a sailor, without shoes ;
they conveyed him to the watch-house, where be
gave the name of Chalks, a native of Yorkshire.—
On searching the premises on Satin day moining, ;he
prisoner's shoes were found in the stable loft in the
rear of the house, where, from appearance., he n u t
have remained several days, as the fragments of
' several joints of meat, with bread, butter, cheese, 8:c.
were found, also the pie dishes, a market-basket in
which he took them away, a knife and fork, and
other necessaries. He was examined on Saturday at
Hatton-garden, and committed for trial.
C• 11111 EXCHANOII, MARX-1.4113, JULY 9.—We had a large sup-
ply of Wheat to-day from Essex and Kent, and a considerable
quantity of Flour, coastways; yet the former article, of Enz.
quality, sold 2t. per quarter higher than on this day se'nuigiss,
owing to the continued unfavourableness of the weather; but
there is not the least improvement in the inferior qualities, bay-
ing little or no demand for then:. Barley fully supports last
Monday's prices, the quantity at market being very small.—
White !tits are rather dearer, and Beans wld is. higher. The
arrivals of Oats are very large, yet tine fresh Corn obtained Is.
per quarter more than on last Monday, but the sales were far
from brisk at that advance. Current prices as under:
