Yesterdav at three o'cleck, a respectable jurr assembled befoi 511r. STIRLI5)G, tlhc Coroncr, at the. Wrcesrer Arms public-house, George-street, Portan square, to inquire into the death ef the vene- rable clergyrman whose Mwfuly-sudden death we announced in our *aper of yesterdaY. Tke room wss thronged with members of the French gmbsassy andl several Roman Catholic lergemen n Phineas Coyne, M.D., wvas the first witness calied..Ee only kner the deceased personally. He wats attending divine service in the French chapel on Sunday. ~The deceased prelate was preaching to his Excellency the French Ambassador and suite. It was abomat 12 o'clock in the day, and he was in the midt -of his discourse wbs hig voice faltered gradually, and he appeared grawing i-l, and lesat down in the pulpit, and then endeavoared to get on his teet, but wa6 still sp)eaking. He was unable to stand, and sank on his knees. 'He stopped speaking, and his head dropped forwards. 'T'he witnsess andi the chapel clerk went up to his assistance, and on taking him into the vestry-room, he became insentiible, and died instantly. He never from firling forward in the pulpit disptaed any symptoms of life- At the momaent of being seized with d. , he was preaching on the subject of eternity, and on the necessity of being at all times pree pared for death. The witness could not recolleet the precise words. Natu.re i him appeared perfectly exhausted; he leoked like u man of the age of 90 years, but was only 80 years old. The witnmess hats no doubt lie died by the visitation of God. Mr. George Keating, bookseller, of Duke-gtreet, gave evidence to the same effect, adding, that the deceased was very infimi - asaont 12 ttonths rince he fainted on the altar while celebrating the mass; he wss remarkably abstemioas- the crowdeti state of the chapel to a man of his venerable agc, would certainly produce seriousT ef- fects. Thehead chaplain, L'Abbe Chene, went up to the deceased, and not the clerk. Dr. Coytne. in answer to some of the questions put by juroDr. 5aid, it rould be fatal to the deceased, supposing he was recoverable, to have then bled him. Some persons wished him tO bleed the deceased, but he refused. The decmsed was remarkably infirm. and vas far from being of a full habit, had he bled him at that time, the last spark of life remaning would have been exhausted. Mr. Keating said, at the moment of receiving the stroke of death, he we7 preaching on the necessity of being at all times prepared for death, and on the necessity of penitence. The Jury here expressed themselves satisfied, and after viewinng the body, returned a verdict of " Diet by the visitation of Go." I ArQJQUEST ON THE ABBE PAPILLOY.

The fact provqs to be nearly as we predicted wvith retpect to the s tate of the Kl XG's healfh-namely that if, s1jbsequently to the last report, His MAJESTY sheuld still prove indis_ posecl, the country would know nothing of the circum. stance, except from necessity, or till after he had recovered. It now appears that His MAJESTY isnuot able to hold the drawing-room even oll the 13th, and that a farther proro. gation of a week is necessary. 'Wre are of opinion, that the people should be made acquainted with any indisposition or the KIN o simultaneously. It is now three weeks siuce the last, and on that occasion the only bulletin was issued. His MIAJESTY was then declared to be recovered from an attack, of the existence of which the nation had previously knowvn nothing but from whispers. WVeeks, therefore, are passed since disorder ceaseel, and yet His MAJESTY is still allovzed to be so far belowv his ordinary state of strnngth, titat he is unable to sustain some of the easicst func:ions of his station. WVe shall look with some anxiety to the 20th, vhen iwe hope wve shall be able to congratulate the country on the perfect re-establislhment of the KING's health, and that best and most satisfactory proof of it-his appearance before a portion of bis subj, ets.

Any person can become a partticr in this bank, by paying o00 dollars in mioney and 500 in state bonds, which latter are to be with- drawn from circulation, and deposited in the bank as a sort of mortgage, we presume, upon the Prussian Govern. .iaent.
