The sapercargo mas. ter, and two of the crew, went from-thence to- Jamaica in an epen boat. It was expected that a Britishi frikate would be sent-from . Jamaica to demand the surrender of.the vessel, and payment for the damage sustained by the illegal capture."d.

r Ir.'f qE T fl | Sir,-11r Hamilton, in an appeal contained in 7Yae Times of yes. terday,having alluded to a printed address of which I an] the author, I bes to state that it may beprocire;, graIs, of Alir. Wit. son, Royal Exchange. It will evince that hlr. Hamilton had no authority for classing me with the opponents of the Hamniltonian system-tbat he had no authority for the insinuation (absurd indeed in itself) that I was the deputed Champion of the Greenwich sehoolmasters, and that he wilfully miscAlls me " a Teacher." So mnuch for his love of truth. I shall not further reply to AMr. Hamilton, since he has now -so libe-rally contributedl towards writing dowin hinself: I have no donbt he will soon exhibit " an alacrity in sinking." I shaUl add, however that I f*el a pleasure in having been the first to cxpose the efflrontery and insufficiency of this dabbler in philologr; and in baving con- vinced the inhabitants of Greenwich and its vicinity ef the emptiness of his preteusions.

Coroner's Inquest.
The Times, 1824-06-17T00:00:00

Yesterday an inquisition was hld at the lIondon Hospital beforc J. W. UiwxIr, Essq., upon the body of Wm. Pickriug, one of the unfortunate persons who was injuredt by the explosion at Sir Wil- 1iam Congreve's rocket manufactory, on Thurgday last. Jersmiah Neill, sworn.-lVas employed at Sir WVm. Congreve's manufaceorv, and on Thursday evening last, about four o'clock, he was i the finishing-room, and saw the deccased and anotber man at work there. Decesed was driving a white neal with a hammner in the end of one of the rockets. He did not know what materials the neal was made of On his return to the Toom where he worked, he heard an explosion, and on his going to the door he was struck by somethingon the arm, wlhich set him al on fire.- He got-oat and roled himself in the grass, by which means le extinguishe(d the flames: about five mninutes after he saw the deceased and the other man that worked With him carriod from the ruins of the buildings. He thinks the cases of the rockets are made of sheet copper. Charles Sollnow, a surgeon, belonging to the hospital, stated that he attended the deceased,since he was brought there- His body was all over covered with wounds, his head and face very much swollen, and his hair completely '1umed 0oJF The elfects of the injuries which he received, caused his death. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Ac- cidental Death." A gentleman, the proprietor of an extensive distillery in the neighbourhood of West Ham, attended the inquest for the purpose of ascertaining the cause that led to this unfortunate occurrence. He stated, thit in the vicinity of WVest Ham there are many exten. sive manufactories, the owners of whicll, as well as otbers, were very apprehensive for the safety of both their lives and properties, parti- cufarly since the explosion took place. He further stated, that some time since two zockets ascended from the manufactory (whetber by accident or otherwise he could not say), one of which fell upon his spirit warehouse, and the other on a different part of his concern, and it was by the greatest chance the premises were saved from de- struction. Several of the jury expressed surprise that the foreman or some ether person from the manufacwory, did not attend; for by the evi- dence of Neill,vho had been huts fer days in the employment,they were quits unable te form any opinion as to the real cause of the accident. The CoRoNER said, that in cases of such public importaxce as the present, it would be necessary to have the fullest evidence pro- duced, but he said he fiared it would be his painful ds4v to attend on a similar occusion on the other unfortunate suffierr, as it was prenounced by the surgeon in attendance that he could not sur- vive many hours: if such occasion should occur2 he would cause the attendance of sufficient witnesses to satisfy the jury.

Dissenters' Marriages.
The Times, 1824-12-07T00:00:00

TO TlE EDITOR OF THE TIlMES. Sir,-After reading the detail contaiied in your paper of yester. day, wil not every man, of every party, agree that it is desirable that something should be done to relieve the conscientious scruple of Dimsentcrs on the subject of the marriage ceremosy ? The Dissenter asks, " Why should I be called upon to subscribe to doctrineswhlchrdonotbelieve, and enter a church which I regard as anti-Christian because I am enteriag into a citvil contract? Aho7e all, why should I be compeUed to violate my conscience on n occasion, perhaps of all others the most important and the most sacred?P" To reply that marriaze, because it is an important and sacred compact, slhould tierefore require a religious sanctien, is only to ag. gravate the evil complained of. For what is the value of that reli. gious sanction which is darived from a mnan's subscribing doctrines he disbelieves ? and what additional hold does it give eociety on a man's conscience, the compelling him to transgress the dictates of that conscience by entering into a church from whose doctrines and disciplines .he eparates and dissents? This is as though we would impress ofn a man the value of an oath, by compelling him to commit perjury. There is, however, another, and some may think a more import- ant, point of view in which to look at this matter_theeffect of scenes like those referred to in our Established Church, and the painful and difficult situation in which they place her ministers. Here (in the case noticed in your journal of yesterday) is a gentleman probably. disposed, from liberal and gentlemanly teeling, to afford to the con- scientious scruples of-others every allowance in his power, and there. by led to make promises accordingly; he consuits, it is probable, with his advisers or his superiors in the Church, and he is told that he has a duty, prescribed by the lavw, to perform, and that he must perform it strictly and rigidlv, without any view either to his own feelin!gs, or to th:e conscentious scruples of the parties. This is a matter which must command the attention of the Legis- ature. I thought it not amiss, therefore, to call the attention of your readers to it; partUcularlv of that portioa of those interested in the welfare of our venerable Establishment. --f" 1, N. X.

Duritig almost the whole of the last century, the fanmily -of the Parisian executioner, so celebrated amongst the people unde, the name of Chariot, inhabited a soltiary house, situated about tilE centre of the Petite Rue St. Nichols, between the faubourg St, Den'nis and St. Mlartin. At the commcticesnent of the reign oa Louis XV., M1. de lelly,sinceso celebrated by hisurhbapjpy destiny. attehe eclat which filial piety has given to the re-establishment oi ahit1ne, returnei towards midnight, with some youths of his own nwe and rank, fiom the Guinguettes of Rapee, renowned at this pe. diod for their excellent matellates. As they approached near the ho,xoe of Chariot, they heard violins and sounds of merriment. whence they concluded that dancing was going forward within; fleated with the good cheer they had been enjoying, they tool a fancy to partake of the amusements which these sounds infornne,1 thesf they were near. They ktocrked; a servant opened the door; they asked leave to cnter. The girl, not daring to take upon hersel to admit them, called lher nmaster, to whom these young gentlenmen repeated their request. " It is impossible' to receive you, gentle. men," answered C lh4sot, " my house is net public: I amuse illy. self with my faniily; and our 8porLs are about to cease, for I per- ceive tbat it is already very late." These wild youths, however in. sisted, and hoping to secure their admixsion if tbey made themseives known, they said they belonged to the Court, that they came frora a party at the Rapee, and intended to finish thleir evening by joining the amnusements of an honest and respectable family. Charlot, after making useless eftorts to dissuade Lhem- from their project, found there were nO other means of ending titematter butby saying-" The higher your rank, geetdemes, the lcsx possible it Ls for me to receive you you would approve t'f my refusal if yct4 knew who I am."- I, And r7ho are you, then ?" said one of the party. " (Gentlemen, do you insist upon it ! know, then, that I am tne hangman of Paris." " Ah I this is atrange !" cned At. de Lally. " I5 it you who hang, break arms, legst &c." Charlot interrupted him uld said-" These are, in fact, my duties; but I have assistants for obscure criminals. flowever, when a man of your rank, Sir., has the misfortune to fall under the ri,our of the laws. I consider it a dtuty, an honour to Per form msyelf the decrees of justice." Twenty-ave years after rW. de Lalv died under the hands of this Famne man. there is now itl full bloom, in the liot-lholuse of Robert Codringteoi, Esq., df Bridgewater, a bteautiful plant, called the Re- nlairnissz,ueta3 . It is a 7ative of India, and rises by the bankg of the Ganges to the height of upwards of 20 feet.

TO THB; EDlTOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,-By the-statute of 7 Geo. IL, e- 20, it is enacted, that upon a suit inatituted to foreclose a niertgagc, the Court, upon applieation by the defendant having riglit to redeem, and upon admission of the tighit and title of the plaintiff, may, before thle cause shall he broutght to a hear- ing, make such ordler or decree as the Court cotild have made if the cause had been regularly brought to a hearing. Now, Sir, I humbly take thlibrty of suggesting, througl the moelium of your valiable paper, to my Lord Eldon, and the other honourable and learnied Comtnissioners who are now so actively employing themselvvs in examining the texture of the Court of Chancery, whether many acts of Par]iameit could not be passed,so as to empower the Court to terminate suits in many cases as speedily as the act I have refcrred to emnowers the Court to terminate n Rliit n.. q 1il1 of foreclosure.- LEX.

A motion was expectedl last night from Sir JAMES MAC- 1X-TOsU, on the recognition of the independence of the usth American States; but after an apparent conference -with Mr. CANNING in the House, the Hon. Member ios-poned his motion. lWe had stated that the ]ri- iish Commistioner in Colombia had presented the Pre- sidenit or Vice-i?resident oi the klepublic with a snufT- box on the part of his Britannic MAJESTY. Oar statement was contradicted: it was asserted to be unfounded; and we this day publish the speech which the British Commissioner made on presenting the snuff-box! If the act of the Commissioner be sanctioned by his Go- vernment, the independence of Colombia is acl;now- ledged already to Colombiaherself; and we do not seehow the Commissioner could make the present -anless it had been-tonsigned to him for that purpose by his Government at home. If lie has been premature in .the act, still the secret feeling of his Cabinet will be evinced by thc pre- pared state of the Envoy to embellish the recognition,wheip- ever it took place, wvith the courtesies usual on such occa- sions. So far, tberefore, as the obsolete Government may be affected, the mischief has been donie; anl it seems to be trifling to suspend the formal acknowlodgment of the in- dependence of the South American States any longer.
