POISONING AT CARLISLE.—A revolting case of murder
by administering arsenic, has just been discovered at Car-
lisle. Mrs. Mary Thomson, the wife of a millwright and
engineer, died on the 29th ultimo, after several days in-
tense suffering, and under circumstances that seemed to
demand a pos mortem examination of the body. This
took place, and the two surgeons, Mr. Elliott, and Mr.
Mortimer, who analysed the contents of the deceased's
stomach, stated that they detected 51 grains of arsenic
therein. In the husband's pocket was found a paper con-
taining arsenic, and he has consequently been taken into
custody on suspicion of having committed the murder.
ATTEMPED ESCAPE OF CAPTAIN JOHNSTON.—About
three weeks since the notorious Captain Johnston, late
master of the Tory, whose trial for the murder of several
of his crew attracted so much attention, endeavoured to
effect his escape from Bethlehem-hospital, and all but
succeeded in the attempt. To facilitate his plans, it ap-
pears he had cut away all the wires connected with the
alarm bell, and in all other respects made his arrange-
ments with admirable skill. The rumour runs that he
had bribed a person in the establishment to wink at his
attempt by a promise of .:C2O, and that the latter, not
finding the money forthcoming, allowed him to go on till
the last moment, when he gave information. Such are
the facts, as our reporter had them from a source on which
he places considerable reliance.—Globe.
FOOD FOR TILE PEOPLE.—The arrivals of foreign grain
at Liverpool, during the last ten days, have been of wheat
9,492 quarters, flour 97,367 barrels, Indian corn 67,029
quarters, Indian corn meal 32,346 barrels, oats 5,325
quarters, beans 5,435 quartsrs ; total, 129,000 barrels,
and 82,281 quarters. At Cork more than 100,000 quar-
ters of grain and flour had arrived in two days, and there
were still a large number of vessels outside the harbour.
At London also, and other ports, there have been very
considerable arrivals from abroad, the effect of which will,
no doubt, be felt whenever the sun begins to shine. A
private letter from America to a house in Manchester,
after stating that 26,000 barrels of flour had come down
the Hudson in one day, says, " there is a train of boats
continually traversing the Canals that would extend 51
miles, if placed stern to stern, and all deeply laden with
the produce of the west."
MEDICAL REMITNERATION.—We congratulate the Dis-
pensary Doctors. Their fortunes are made. They are to
get Five Shillings a-Day —whether with or without
" rations " is not stated—under the provisions of the
Fever Act! They must be inestimable services which are
thus rewarded. Had the scale which measured the de-
serts of the Doctors been applied to those of the Members
of the Central Board. the salaries of the latter would not
require the same number of figures to express them.
Even the five shillings—something better than a half-
penny a patient—are not likely to be paid. By an Adver-
tisement feom the Official Committee we learn that the
Relief Commissioners have refused to defray the expenses
already incurred under the Act ! What in the world are
'they for ? What is the good of them, except to show
'how deplorably the Queen's English may be mangled,
and how much mysticism may be wrapped up in a farcical
phraseology ?—Cork Constitution.
ENCOURAGEMENT TO EMIGRANTS..—III a private let-
ter received,by the last packet, as we are informed by the
city correspondent of the London Times, it is stated
that—" All the able-bodied emigrants who arrive in good
health are at once engaged, either by farmers or railroad
contractors in the country, and at good. wages. Unfor-
tunately vast numbers arrive in very bad condition, sick
of the ship fever, so that there are many deaths, and our
hospitals are crowded. We are obliged to put up new
buildings to accommodate the extra numbers, and I pre-
sume the distress will continue all the summer- in this
particular ; but those in good health move off at once.
No small advantage of this immigration is that by in-
creasing the population of the free states it will hasten
the downfal of slavery. People are discovering every:year
that slave-labour is the dearest they can have, and self-
interest will by and by ' open the prison doors and let the
oppressed go free.' "
A NEW KIND OF INTOXICATION.—Entering a chemist's
shop, a nurse came in for four ounces of ether. As the
chemist poured it out, he said to MQ. " This is all the go
now : it is used for inhalation. A small apparatus has
been invented for ladies. So delightful are the sensations
it produces, that persons who have used it for the relief
of pain, continue to use it for the pleasure it affords."
On a former occasion I had warned a chemist of the dan-
ger of yielding to a habit which would become his master.
The warning was neglected ; the habit has gained the
mastery, and the man of talent and of energy has become
the imbecile, drivelling idiot. The inhalation of ether,
' the smoking of opium, and all other narcotic vapours,
come under the same category. They delight the animal
sensations, while they destroy the moral' sentiments ;
they introduce their victims into a fool's paradise ; they
mock them with joys which end in sorrows—with happi-
ness which leads to misery—with coruscations of life
which are extinguished in premature death. Let every
one who values free agency, beware of the slavery of
etherisaticn.—Letter in the Times.
FAMINE FEVER.—We have been assured bra• medical
gentleman that the fever introduced into this city by the
poor Irish is not of a contagious nature ; it is not typhus
fever, nor in any respect contagious ; it is merely what is
now termed gastric fever, originating.from deficiency of
food, unwholesome food, exposure to cold, damp, filth, or
depressing passions of the mind, nnd. it is a disease very
easily managed, if taken at an early stage and properly
treated. Six persons were taken to our infirmary in one
week, three or four of them in a very severe state of dis-
ease, and they have been easily-placed in a state of conva-
lescence. We were lately assured by one of our first phy-
sicians that he did not believe this fever to be, in the

slightestdegree.._contagious ; and we learn from the same
I authority that, having been at the Infirmary for nearly 40
years, he never knew fever to traverse from one bed to the
next, a distance of two feet ; and, moreover, when he was
a pupil at the Infirmary, he was informed by an old officer
that he had been forty years at the institution, and had
never known a fever to traverse from one bed eo the next.
This comprises a period of eighty years, and may be con-
sidered tolerably conclusive. These facts will, we hope,
allay any fear as to contagion.—Bristol Journal.
The United States' steamer, Washington, Frederick
Hewit, commander, arrived in Southampton water on
Wednesday afternoon, at half-past 1 o'clock, after a passage
of 14 days, from New York. She has experienced fine
weather. A supply.of 200 or 300 tons of coals are re-
quired to carry thevessel on to Bremen, and it is expected
she will proceed after a delay of 24 hours. She brings
127 passengers, abput niinndred of whom are first-class,
and amongst them is Mr. Silas E. Burrows, of New York,
the bearer of official dispatches for St. Petersburg, and
Major Hobbie, Assistant Postmaster-General, whose ob-
ject in coming to Europe is to effect arrangements for the
transmission of the American mails through the several
European post-offices. The New York Herald has the
following unfortunate anticipation upon the race upon the
two steamers, the Britannia and Washington. The for-
mer it will be remembered, reached Liverpool on Sunday
week :—" We have to say, that if the Britannia beats the
Washington over (and they both we understand start the
same day), she will have to run by the, deep nines, and
put in more coal. We shall have, in two years' time, a
system of Atlantie,-Gulf,and Pacific steamers in operation,
that will tell a brilliant story for the enterprise of Brother
Jonathan. We are bound to go ahead, and steam is the
agent of the age. We expect yet to see the day when a
traveller will be able to leave New Ybrk, and going east-
ward all the time will be enabled to- make the circuit of
the earth, coming in by Huascualcorin the summer inter-
val between two sessions of Congress, spending a month
or two in the Mediterranean on the,way. •
A WOMAN SCALDED TO DEATEiIIY HER HUSBAND:—
Great excitement has been caused in Dudley, during the,
last week, by the death of the wife of a travelling tinker
named Blewitt, from scalds received from her husband
throwing: a kettle of boiling water over her. About a
month since Blewitt and his wife arrived in Dudley, and
took up their residence in a lodging-house kept by Biddy
Doyle, in Wolverhampton-street. They have been inAhe
habit of visiting Dudley for three years-, supporting them-
selves by grimling. The woman was 23 years old, and
always came in company with her husband. She was
troubled with elropsy, for which she had once beemin the
Birmingham Infirmary. On Monday, the 31st ofMay,
the husband went out for a week to work, but returned on
the following- Thursday and took his wife with him to
Oldbury. On their return in the afternoon some.words
arose in consequence of his having to pay for a window
which, his wife had broken during his absence. As. her
'husband's violence increased, the deceased left the room,
and went up with the • intention of making, her escape
through the window. An alarm having been. raised by
Doyle, her husband and. another man prevented, her from
injury by the fall, and they returned again to the house,
the quarrel still continuing, with much irritation on both
sides. At length some, expression of the wife so enraged
the husband, that he, in his passion, seized a kettle of
water, which was boiling on the fire, and threw it over
her, scalding her severely about the neck and chest. She
died on Saturday_ Blewitt was taken into custody imme-
diately after the injury was committed, but afterwards re-
leased. He absconded on the same night, and has not
been heard of since. At the inquest a,marriage certificate
was produced, which showed that they were married at St.
Peter's Church, Liverpool, on the 17th of August, 1844,
and that her maiden name was Mary. Ann Shanley, for-
merly living in. Ben Jonson-street.—Ten Towns' Armen.
AUSPICIOTTSAPPEARANCE OF THE SEASON.—The me-
mories of living men reach not back to a year in which a
blessed abundance was more manifest than it is this year ;
the firmament never changed more favourably for men's ,
benefit than it has changed this season. That frost might I
purify the earth we had frost in winter; that vegetation
might not expend itself too soon, as following a long frosty
winter it was likely to do, we had a spring season of low
temperature, dry and most excellent for seed sowing ;
that the season might not be a late one in consequence of
the low temperature of the spring, the blessed sunshine
and the showers of May came forth with power sufficient
to redeem the season from lateness—and did redeem it.
The warmth of May extended to June. But in June the
high pressure of generative Warmth which had come upon
the earth to bring the season forward to have the right
measure of vegetation at the right date of time, produced
through the immutable laws of nature, miasmatic matter
dangerous to human health, and with it, ptobably out of
it, probably to subdue it for the immediate safety of hu-
man health, myriads of insect creatures came into exist-
ence injurious to vegetable health and to the abundance
which the earth was bringing forth for the benefit of man-
kind. To subdue the insects, the temperature was low-
ered to chillness for a few days, and vegetation was saved.
While to wash and purify the growing plants and growing
fruit, showers, beneficial to everything, hurtful to noth-
ing, have fallen frequently and copiously. Still, the in-
surgents in arms against Providence, and against the rea-
son of common men, take each of those changes as a prog-
nostication of evil, and insist that not only shall we have
evil days in that part of the year still before us, but that
blight, rottenness, and loss are already laying our fields
waste. Unable to tell where such blight and loss are to
be seen, they tell of somebody who has seen them. When
we seek to trace out that somebody, we find them to be a
creature of fiction, as the whole story of blight and potato
failure is one of fabrication.--Manchester Examitier,

On Thursday morning, Prince Albert attended a re-
view in Hyde Park, in honour of the Russian Grand Duke
Constantine. The Queen was also present in an open
carriage. In the evening, the Queen and Prince Albert
honoured the Duchess of Gloucester with their company,
at a grand ball at Gloucester House.
GRAIN IN WAREHOUSE AT DONCASTER.—We have
the best authority for stating. there never was so much
grain in warehouse at Doncaster as at the present time,
and there is the greatest difficulty in procuring room for
the large quantities that have arrived within the last
month. The supply at our market last Saturday was un-
exampled for the period of the year.—Doncaster Chron.
MALICIOUS DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.—III the
early part of last week 20,000 newly made bricks were de-
stroyed on the grounds of Mr. Evans, of Clarence-street,
Broomhall, in Sheffield. This destructive and malicious
conduct cannot be too strongly denounced or punished.
A reward of £2O has been offered for the apprehension of
the offender.
THE LATE JAMES TAWELL, THE MURDERER. —On
Thursday, a commission, on behalf of the crown, was
opened at Hertford, to enquire what " freeholds, lease-
holds, lands, messuages, tenements, goods, chattels, &c.,
J. Tawell, late of Great Berkhampstead, possessed at the
time of his death , &c." It appears that besides considerable
personal property he held freehold and leasehold property at
Great Berkhampste-ad, in Hertfordshire, where he resided,
and hence the proceedings there, such property devolving
to the crown by reason of his attainer. The deeds and
leases relative to the freehold and leasehold property were
put in and proved, the latter by Miss. Tawell, who wept
bitterly, and appeared suffering under great distress of
mind. The whole value of his property was estimated et
nearly £B,OOQ. The case excited much interest and great
sympathy for Mrs. Tawell, who is highly respected.
IMPORTANT CAUTION.—We would particularly caution
our readers to be on their guard against a foreigner who
calls himself a Pole, and who speaks French and German,
and is travelling about the country with a horse and gig
accompanied-by a young man, who takes charge of the
same while his master introduces himself into the society
of respectable families, stating that he has been recom-
mended by the clergyman, or clergymen, of the place to
call upon them• and show his stock of " Gold Geneva
Horizontal Watches," &c., and which (where he can)
he leaves with one or more members of the families he
thus honours with his visits, only requiring, at the same
time, a receipt from the person or persons that they have
received a gold watch of the value of £l2 12s. His
statements are made verbally, and purport that he is
connected with a mercantile house in London, &c., who
are anxious to extend their business and also solicitous
to accommodate the younger branches of family circles
with gold watches, on the most advantageous and liberal
terms, viz., by instalments of Is. per week, or 12s. per
quarter, whichever may be most agreeable. However,
' it turns out eventually the advantage and liberality are
swindling bubbles; for shortly after his departure a letter
is addressed to the mortified victims demanding payment
of the whole amount instanter, or the service of a writ and
its attendant blessing will be shared by them. We have
examined one of the watches, and honestly pronounce its
price to be a monstrous imposition.—Doncaster Gazette.

JENNY LIND.—On Tuesday night, her Majesty and
Prince Albert visited her Majesty's Theatre in state to
see Madlle. Lind in Norma. The royal box, surmounted
by a crown, was hung with crimson velvet fringed with
gold, the decorations extending• to the boxes on the right
and left, in which were placed the ladies and gentlemen
of the suite. Two yeomen, according to ancient custom,
stood on the stage in front of the box. Her Majesty and
Prince Albert, who was dressed in hill uniform, arrived
exactly at eight o'clock, which was the signal for the
commencement of the national anthem. The brilliant
assemblage in the boxes, the splendour of the dresses,
the abundance of jewels worn by the fair visitors, pro
duced a superb spectacle when the general." rising" took
place. Nor was the enthusiasm less than the splendour.
Acclamations were heard on all sides, and handkerchiefs
were waved in all directions at the end of the anthem.
The peculiarity in Madlle. Jenny Lind's Nw.nza is, that
she makes the ferocious features of the character less pro-
minent than her predecessors, but the portions that illus-
trate the tender affections much more-so. The Times,
from which we quote the above, states that Jenny Lind's
success was so great, that " after the fall of the curtain
Mademoiselle Lind received a shower of bouquets, which
covered a great part of the stage. Four times, was she
called, and on each occasion took away a portion of the
floral treasure. And, let it be added, that among her
applauders none were more enthusiastic than the Queen."
The Morning, Chronicle, " with every wish to be impar-
tial"(!), pronounces it " a complete failure." Hundreds
were at the doors at three o'clock, four hours before they
opened.

Sir Harry G. Smith, the hero of Aliwall, arrived at
Cheltenham on Monday, a course of the Cheltenham
waters having been recommended by his medical atten-
dants. in proceeding from the Railway Station to the
Belle Vue Hotel, Sir Harry passed near the College, the
pupils of which were drawn up in file and signalised his
approach by loud cheers. Sir Harry, in a brief address,
thankedibem for the compliment.-3n Tuesday, at half-
past one o'clock, about a hundred of the resident gentry
and tradesman met at the Assembly Rooms. They formed
a processiorr, and accompanied by the Montpellier Band,
Tor The parpose or walling upon Harry flmith with an
address of congratulation, with nearly seven hundred sig-
natures, notwithstanding the shortness of the time. Sir
Harry; in the course of his reply, said,—" T see around
me many officers of the sister service, our gallant navy ;
God only. knows.how soon they may be called upon to de-
fend our shores front foreign aggression ; but whenever
that time comes I know that they will acquit themselves
like men—(cheers)—and though no man is more distressed
at the horrors of war, or more in love with peace than I
am, yet,.whenever we are called, we will, both services,
do our duty -in. driving back hostile footsteps from the
shores of our gallant country, or in maintaining and defend-
ing our glorious constitution. (Cheers.) Gentleman, I
have seen a good deal of the world ; I have seen the work-
ing of the governments of many different countries, but I
firmly believe that our own constitution and our own li-
berties are superior to them all. (Cheers.) If you had
seen what I have seen of the state of foreigneountries, you
would all of you, like me, thank God and be proud that
you bore the name of Englishmen." (Cheers.)

REPORTS OF THE 'INSPECTORS OF FACTORIES,—These
reports, for the six months ending 30th April, have just
been published. The several inspectors notice the de-
pression of trade which has prevailed for some time, es-
pecially in the cotton districts. The condition of the ma-
nufacturing classes is represented to be quite as bad as in
1833.. The factory acts have been generally- attended to,
the Vines amounting to only £206. Mr. Saunders appends
to his report a table showing the number of persons
employed in all the factories in the •kingdom in the two
years, ,na ra ely

Mr. Horner states that 15,243 children in Lancashire are
receiving education, but that the moral- and intellectual
training is imperfect and inadequate. The schools are
generall7 in debt, and without proper-teachers- or a suffi-
ciency of books. The voluntary principle had been ap-
pealed to, with some success in the first instance, but the
funds afterwards fell off ; and the opinion of Mr. a.unders
and other inspectors is that it cannot be brought to work
beneficially per se, and that application for the assistance
offered by the Minutes of Council would result favourably
to theeducation of the great and increasing number of 1
factory children who attend school Sour days in each week.
Some of the promoters of the schools are opposed to
receiving aid from the government; from intr secretaries
nnotions
of dependence ; and several school*masters d
ttla smaluaries, and rthe secretaries from want of help to
insure a successful, result to their•labours.

DR. MAcHALz has addressed one of the worst of his
letters and the last, to Lord, John Russell. In this he
assaults the Church Establishment with a coarse fury,
which all the circumstances- of the case, the boundless
charity, indefatigable exertions, and noble sacrifices of
that body, taken into account, is all but diabolical,:—" If
the object of the. British Association was a fair and im-
partial distribution of, their, funds, without reference to
any other claim but that of suffering humanity, they could
not have found a more valuable or efficient agent, or one
whose equity and kindness was more calculated to win re-
spect and gratitude for his employers. • I wish as much
'could be said for others, who have hitherto worn the
mask of liberality, who are turning education, nay the
anti-national system of, education, into an engine of pro-.
selytism and persecution—withholding charitable aid from
the wretched serfs who are depending on them unless they
violate their consciences, and trample on the reverence
due to the pastors by placing them under the tutelage of
bigoted anti-Catholic teachers. The monstrous Church
Establishment and 'its insolent officials.must not be suf-
fered thus to exercise over the people its unhallowed do-
mination. Yet this • is the institution which, fraught as
it is with evil, is deafer to, Whigs as well as Tories than
the lives of the people."
PUBLIC MONUMENTS.—A correspondent of the Athe-
neum suggests, in that paper, that application should be
made to. France, by this country, to surrender to us the
mortal remains of two of oar kings- now lying "in cold
-obstruction" beneath the French soil. If the surrender
of the remains involve the giving up the monuments also.
which covered them, we do not think that our neighbours
are likely to give favourable bearing to the application.
We think that they will still continue to hold the bodies
and the effigies of Henry H. and of Richard 1., in spite of
all prayers on our parts to the contrary. They can
scarcely be blamed ; for it must be apparent to them that
we are a people not allowed (we will not say unable) to
raise a creditable new monument, and we are without the
power fittingly to guard our old ones. Before we make
application for the monuments or the remains of our
kings reposing in the bosom du foreign land, let us first
show ourselves worthy of the trust by exhibiting some-
thing like decency and respect to those already given to
our most unworthy keeping. Let us restore the national
monuments of royalty in Westminster Abbey ere we
charge our already overloaded capacities with an additional
guardianship. Let us do due honour to the memorials of
our good kings, or such of them, at least, whose mutilated
and uncleanly condition is a disgrace to the abbey which
covers as to the kingdom which contains them. Let us,
at least, perform the scanty duty neglected here for those
whose memories merit better measures of respect than we
have hitherto awarded them, ere we would assume the
guardianship of the bones of monarchs, one of whom was
a liar, each of whom was a bully, and both of whom were
sore saints to the Church and heartless kings to the people.
We so neglect what we have that we are disqualified for
possessing what we have not. We allow the scattered
remains of departed royalty to lie about in dusty provin-
cial museums, and yet we talk of soliciting those whiCh
are honourably guarded by France. The hand of Queen
Adeliza, -the wife of Henry L, torn from its grave, lies in
the.museum of the Philosophical Institution at,lipading,
in Unseemly propinquity to a strip of skin, or to a portica

of what Tacitus would call the "hwrens corpori teymen"
of that "greatest happiness" philosopher, Jerry Bentham.
While we permit such desecration as this, could we, with
any modesty, ask France for the dead daughter of John
Lackland ?

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. JAMES ASPINALL,

OF LIVERPOOL.

We regret to announce that Mr. James Aspinall, of
Liverpool, a gentleman well known throughout the county
of Lancaster, and highly esteemed by all who had the
pleasure of his acquaintance, suddenly expired in London,
about half-past eleven on Thursday night. lie had been
in the metropolis only a few days, and on the day of his
death was in animated conversation with a number of
Liverpool and Manchester friends, who are now waiting
the result of
.the several water inquiries affecting those
towns, in one of the committee rooms of the House of
Commons.

—The circumstances attending his decease were of a very
awful character. He dined on Thursday afternoon with a
party of friends at the Conservative Club, after which, in
company with Mr. Ridley Warnman and Mr. Watts, two
friends, resident in St. James's-sreet, the unfortunate
gentleman proceeded to* Vauxhall Gardens, where he par-
ticipated in the gaities of the Royal property, during the
evening appearing in excellent health and spirits. Sub-
sequently the deceased, accompanied by his friends, went
to the m wly-erected Gallery of Arts, after inspecting
which he was in the act of descending the staircase-' when
he suddenly raised his hand to his head, and having
uttered a single exclamation, he fell suddenly to the
ground, and on being raised was discovered to be insensi-
ble. A medical gentleman who happened to be near the
spot applied the lancet, but without avail, death having
been instantaneous. The body was immediately removed
with all the privacy possible to the Vauxhall Tap, adjoin.-
ing the Gardens. _

The late Mr. Aspinall was a man of strong political
feeling, which, however, was never expressed in any
other than the kindest and most forbearing manner. They
were of the old tory character, tempered with genuine
liberality. He was the last mayor of Liverpool previous
to the improved days of municipal reform ; and his part
in the celebrated church endowment question will be long
remembered, as proving his attachment to our ancient
institutions. He was a representative of Pitt-street Ward
in the present town council of Liverpool.
Mr. Aspinall died unmarried, and during his life resided
with his mother, in Rodney-street, Liverpool. His age
was about forty-five. A number of the principal
families in Liverpool will be placed in mourning by this
event.

The inquest on the remains was held on Saturday after-
noon, before Mr. W. Carter,the coroner.
Mr. Ridley Warnman, of St. James's-street, deposed
that on Thursday evening, at ten o'clock, he was intro-
duced to the deceased by Mr. Watt, a mutual friend. It
had been proposed that they) should visit the gardens at
Vauxhall, and they came over in a eab. The deceased
was in perfect health and spirits, and they went into the
theatre to witness the performance of Mad'lle Caroline.
When it was over, they were descending the stairs to see
the other performances, and the deceased, when he had
nearly got to the bottom, staggered, put his hand against
the wall, and fell forward. Witness and Mr. Watt imme-
diately went to his assistance and untied his neckcloth. A
surgeon was sent for, who arrived in about five minutes,
and pronounced him quiteAlead, and witness was of opi-
nion that he was so when he fell, and that it was the result
of some disease. He had expressed himself highly satis-
fied with the performance just before.
To the Coroner : He had not partaken of supper in the
gardens, as stated. He only had a glass of Seltzer water.
Mr. William Watt, of Bishop Beverton, said, that he
knew the deceased, and met him on Thursday evening at
the Conservative Club-house, of which the deceased was a
member, and he proposed a visit to Vauxhall Gardens.
They then went to Long's Hotel, where he introduced the
deceased to Mr. Warnman, and they proceeded in a cab
to the gardens. The evidence of Mr. Warnman was quite
true as to what.'took place in the gardens, and witness had
no doubt he died a natural death. _ _ _

To the Coroner: Last winter deceased 'had 'a derange-
ment of the liver and shortness of breath.

Mr. Braddell; of Kennington-lane, surgeon, stated, that
when he saw the deceased he was quite dead, and only a
small quantity of blood came from the•arm when the lan-
cet was used. Having described the appearance of the
body, he said he had no doubt the death was the result of
sanguineous apoplexy, arising from some affection of the
heart.

Mr. James Campbell, son of Rector Campbell and ne-
phew of the deceased gentleman, said he lived very abste-
miously, and confined himself to three glasses of wine
a-day.

The jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death, arising
from apoplexy.!'
