An inquiry was gone into on Saturday , before C . J . Cartar , Esa . ., andah intelligent jury , at the Garrick ' s Head , Lower-road , Deptford , touching the death of Mary . Hutchings , aged 45 , tho wife of John Hutchinss , a cooler , recently employed iii Her ' . Majetty's Victualling Jard , Deptford , whose demise took , place on Saturday night last . . The : jury proceeded to view the body ,. which presented ithe remains of a delicate-looking , little woman . , The appearance of her hands caused , the jury to . suppose she had died of cholera . . Several witnesses were examined , who deposed to the husband ' s general . illtreatment of his wife ; Deceased was taken seriously
ill on Sunday afternoon , . vomiting very much , and ingreat . pain . She said she ; had taken jalap : A surgeon was called in at half-past eight o'clock in the evening , who prescribed what he thought necessary , treating the case as one of cholera . ^ Suspicion , however , having been excited , zpott mortemexamination of the stomach and contents took place , and a considerable quantity of . arsenic ; was found therein ^ Charles Heisch , Esq ., of . Blackheath , a lecturer on chemistry at St Thomas's Hospital , said he had examined the stomach . Four medical practitioners had examined it , and expressed then conviction that a large quantity of poison , had been taken ., Thos ; Hatchings , aged 16 , eldest son of the deceased , deposed tbat hia mother . was orettv well ' aV breakfast
on Sunday , about nine . o ' clock ., His . mother afterwards prepared the dinner , potatoes , batter-pudding , and beef . He took it to the ; baker ' s , and all dined off it . His mother ate some pudding ; After dinner retched . Half an hour after-dinner she was taken very sick , and retired upstairs . Father was upstairs at the time . - Mother cried nt ten o ' clock ; and father went out and returned at ten minutes to one . His father made tea at six o ' clock , and took it up to his mother . She drank it , and retched afterwards . Witness had a bottle containing arsenic locked ' np in a drawer upstairs ; wa » - given him . by an hostler to kill cats and rats . - His fowls had been killed by the eats—white arsenic . The bottle was one-fourth filled . Had it two months ago . Always kept the drawer locked and the key in bis pocket . Opened the drawer
at seven o ' clock on Sunday evening , all was right as he left the bottle ; bad not opened the drawer for a week . Had forgotten that his father had broken open the drawer on Sunday last . When be made the tea , ha said he had broken open the drawer , and took the stuff out , and said that he . thought bis mother had taken something . This was half-past five . His father broke the bottle' aind threw the contents into the fire , and told his little brother to pat the bottle down the privy . His mother'did not'kaow there was poison ia the drawer : He never used it . 'His father mixed it for the cats . Father kept the bottle one day a month ago , and gaveifctoniinback again to lock up . Did not say . why he broke ' the bottle . Father had not beat mother far a longtime : Hatchings , the husband , was called in , and the coroner informed him of the nature of the evidence that had
been given ; . that arsenic was in the house in large quantities , but under lock and key , and that the deceased " was taken ill before the drawer was broken open , and . having ' cantioned ' . / Hatchings that whatever he disclosed as to , the dreadful ' affair would be taken down against him , and that he was not bound to say anything unless he "did so voluntarily : Hutchings said he did not intend to make any statement at all . He was an innocent man , and that was sufficient . The room was then cleared for about " an hour , and on the doors being re-opened , the husband was again , called in , aud informed that he was foil ; committed to stand his trial for the serious charge .

to be \ w- distinctly understood that he held himselt ' perfectly and ) : ' entirely ; free' to resume ' ¦ the con ^ test .. whenever . >'" circttmstances !» should : suggest tho proper time .. ' That time has now arrived ! It has been well stated'that alllhat is required to secure ultimate success to Mr Crawford ' s plan is the return to parliament of a : fow thoroughly . sincere , and ^ devoted ' aitn , who , uaited in one firm phalanx , and ; backed by public opinion out of doors ;' may' be abb ; in spite of ministerial majorities , to bring to termsjan aristocratic parliament , A few thoroughly sineereand devoted ; men' have b ' ebh returned to parliament , and should Mr Crawford's line of policy bo again rosamed ,-1 trust that Mr O'Connor will do his duty , ' and that throughout the country , ' pe : titions will be poured into parliament in support of the democratic struggle . ( Great applause . ) After alluding at some length to fl passage inL » rd John Baseell ' s speech , in reference to the election of Baron Rothschild , at the declaration of the poll , Mr Musliet said ; * I
cannot sit down' without congratulating you on the defeat of Mr ilacaulay , VTe will all admit his greati historic cal knowledge , and great literary attainments ; we will all bow to his intellectual power and eloquence ; but he is not the true friend of political or religious freedom , ' MrM , then quoted an extract from a ' speech'of'Mr Macaulay ' s delivered when Sharman Crawford presented the'People ' s Charter , in which Mr ifacaulay expressed his opposition to Universal Suffrage ; because it would be destmctire " of the monarchy ; and ' was inconsistent with ; civil liberty , and he had but . one wish , ' and that was , if ever the people should force' Universal Suffrage , it might call into existence a military despotism . Lwhich might serve to protect property , ^ Mr Mushet concluded by-saying that'the man who ; could'utter such sentiments ; was a'bar ^ in the way of liberty , ' and ought to be forced out of the way .

Mr J , GaiNT rose , amidst applause , and said , in a polltisal point ^ of view , we are met this evening under very favourable circumstances . -The ' dark' , cloud which has hitherto been overshadowing its' has been dispelled , in . a great measure , by the noble manner in which the demo , cratlc spirit of Great Britain has developed itself during the late elections . The great mass of the people , the unenfranchised- millions ,: are now beginning to assume that ' p ' osicion in society . which they are justly entitled . to occupy . The : principles tbat . woiadvocate are-finding their ' way amongst . tha tipper " classes af society , ' and this of itself is a good omen of success . Our canoe has made rapid progress during the late election ; but , while using every constitutional ' , means to gain our object , let iis show oar opponeats that we are determined . not to rest'satisfied nntilithe principles contained in the Charter become thelaw of the land . ( Great cheering ;) While
accordtag tonr thanks to the electors of Great-Britain for the manner in which they haveacted , 'liwpuld especially call your attention to that , noble band'of patriots —the Chartists of Nottingham—who have , elected as their representative Mr Feargus O'Connor—a ' gentle ' man who has advocated our principles through good and through bad : -report ; and who is as determined as ever , if not more se ; to use all his' energies ^ for the purpose of cairyiugH oat the " principles ^ contained in > the 'Charter . Gentlemen , cherishing these ^ feelings towards the Chartists ef Nottingham , I have great pleasure in . proposing for your adoption the following ' address as . ' a : token of respect tos them for the honour they have conferred on every trme democrat , and tha efforts they , have made to advance the cause of civil and religious liberty ; Mr Grant then read theaddress-which was f seconded ,. in a very energetic speech , ' by Mr John Ceckburn . and carried with ' great applause . * ' \ . ¦; . '
A Mr Thomas Lowb , from Dundee , then addressed the meeting . He had , be said , within the last few weeks , seen Chartists in Dundee , Montrose , Cupar-in-Fiftj , & c , and ha wished to say that , they , wsre proud of Edinburgh . He had heard and read a ' great-deababout Mr Ilacaulay . He , had been termed by somP-of the , newspapers a great statesman .: He mightibe . a . great ^ dedarner , or a great orator , but a ; great statesman . was generally consideredto . be something * f a practical man . Wha ever heard of Mr Macaulay being a practical man !
He had one charge against Mr Macaulay , and he had cometoSdinburgh for the purpose of making it ,. They would remember that about two years ago a petition was brought into the House of Commons , pleading that Mr John Frost might be liberated ; and strange to say , there was hot one man lifted his voice against the petition , but Mr'Macaulay , He compared John ' Frost to a pickpocket . Ho said , distinctly , that when he considered , the treatment that pirk-pobkets got ) and the treatment which Frost and his companions had gbt , h « did not consider ffiera fit objects ' of meitcy .

' This is a comprshenshe inbtion . ' On many topics these gentlemen may entertain some variety of political sentiments , but to these this motiem does not refer , but to those services in which all of them concurred—their noble services on
behalf ef Democracy during the late general election . ; Tes ; all these fought manfully against the Whigs , those enemies of the people ' s cause , ' What against the Whigs , those ! champions of liberal principle ' s t Pray what are the principles ; of Whigs ? You have no doubt all of yo * in your younger days seen a troop ef equestrians . And you have seen harlequin commence galloping dressed as a simple countryman , but he began to ' peel , ' when pulling off first one garment and then another , he changes irom one character to another , ending in becoming it may be a witch , an officer , or a finisher of tho law . Such arc the Whigs . There is yet another point in which . th « Whigs agree with harlequin . Both perform their parts for money .

They opened private letters , ' made 'domiciliary visits at all times of the night as well aaday ; ' and filled the dungeons' with political prisoners -of all classes , ' abolishing at the same time trial' by 'jury , and substituting'thatby court-martial . The poor , were more especially oppressed , by a tax on salt , so necessary to health , and a . tea shillings funeral' pall . tax on each corpse which its j ^ oor relations had to pay btfote they could cpusign it . to the silent grave , ' This last led \ a aia insurrection in favour of their liberties and " of their constitutional charter . : Our Ministers did not interfere till the freemen of Portugal were about to
establish freedom and order there . ^ . Then our : Whig Ministry . became alarmed least ' . the Queen should be sent abroad , and a republic ' established . Lord John could , ; not , < h « said ; set these , things with indifference , " and as we were bound by ancient treaty to protect the soil of Portugal frbm invasion ; our Whig Ministers declared their determination to carry out the provisions of this treaty by requesting France and Spain to . ehter Portugal with ourselves , to force the . Qaeen of Portugal's subjects to lay . down their arms , and thus . leave , them to her mercy . . Ko doubt she promissd to restore and call , together their Pailiament , the Cortes of Portugal ; but . when Lord John Russell was asked what gaarantee . he bould give for . the fulfilment of tuoae conditions , bo replied her royal
word . ' 'The House of Cbmtnons laughed to scorn such a guarantee . '' ' Yet it was to the mercies of such a despot , that our Whig Ministry forced the patriots of Portugal to submit , and for which purpose , they . basely entered into treaty , with the , tyrant of France , whose throne already totters , and the iniquity of whoso sceptre seems to bespeak the passiug nature of its sway . So much for Portugal , Let us again return to the doings of those Whig Ministers at home . Some centuries ago ; all was darkness and ignorance alike iu Britain and the world at large . These are well and appropriately called the dark ages of this world ' s history . That was the ; tjmes ef priests and kings . The former ruled the minds ,. while the latter tyranised over , the . bodies of men . Scarcely any but the higher classes ' could read , while the bible
was also hidden from the people . in a dead language . The vast mass of the people could not read , and on matters of religion were not allowed t » think , but as thechurch , i . e . the pope and some of the superior clergy should dictate , while with politics , they had nothing ; to do but to subwit to the divine right of kings te govean the people . By priests and kings , these were , thought to be glorious times . But amid this darkness , men arose , or rather God raised men up who translated the bible into the living languages of the people and said : < Bright word of God what shineth on high , ( Beneath his footstool of the sky 5 " Thou sny ' st he made thee bright for all , Forrich and poor , for great aad small ¦ '/ . < . And canst thou lie V
In some places the people triumphed . Thay got the bible— they thought , and judged , for , themselvsa ; in others , the priests and despots triumphed , the bibls was excluded , and the priests continued to think for the ' people , as before . See the consequences . Look , for example , to Holland and Spain , both at one time under the same sceptre , and both equally dark and benighted . Now look at Holland , the poorer of these . couutrieo , hut where they at once won the bible and function of thought , while la Spain , the prk & ts trinraphed ; tha bible in Spanish , and freedom ol thought in religion being alike uuknownttll the era . of Hapoleon . Look now . While Holland is free U thought and spirit , aad in civilisation almost tqaal " to BrUaln , the Spain , of the
19 th century , was , at : the time . « f Napoleon ' s invasion , almost , if not altogether the Spaim tithe lDik and 18 th centuries . Some weuld . wish us to believe that it is only ptotestant translation of the Uble that are objected to , ' bat it is not so amd it is not alone tie bible without note or cbmmeat that is iuterdicted to the people of every realm where prie & twafc te doraiaant , but thousands of books , ^ wclidtag Bacon and Hilton aad Locko .

Murder Of The ! Captain And Part 01 J'; ...
MURDER OF THE CAPTAIN AND PART 01 j' ; THE CREW OF AN ENGLISH VESSEL . : 'The Avon ; Captain John Eaton , proceeded from Liverpool -to Patagonia , in search of minerals . She arrived at her destination about eight months ago , and has had , since then , frequent and friendly communication with the Indians who occupy the regions touched at . When in the bay known by the English as Watchman Cape , nnd which , is in the 48 th degree of South latitude , Captain Eaton made a contract to carry , some cargo further souths ; On hia way to the point agreed on he entered the river Santa Cruz ; whose mouth and . port are in 50 S ., chiefly to water . He had been there on previous occasions , and maintained friendly irtejeourse with the Indians of the right or southern bank' of that river ; On the 13 th
of May last one of the sailors , who had'gone on shore for the purpose of arranging the purchase of some horses , made signal lor the boat to k ^ eot to him . Captain Erton went in person and entered into communication with the Indians of the left bank , who , although' they had formerly shown themselves less well disposed than those of the right , received himj nevertheless , in afriendlymamieiyand even requested to-be allowed to . go onboard . Five of them accordingly accompanied , the captain . In the ' meantime , Mr Randall , the mate ; James Daniels , steward ; James Mullin , ' atid John Ste \ vardr seamen ' : and James Watson , an apprentice ; went ashore in the launch , taking with them some useless horses to : change ^ them for others . " Thecantain .
finding th & t . they Mayed . a tang time , shouted from the ship ; . ho . answer ' being made , he fired off a pistol to call their attention , but no one appeared ; ' Then one of the Indians onboard spoke in his own language to those onshore , and immediately afterwards the ; sailors ; were seen ( running , into the water , attempting to escape , frora the Indians . ; :, The ; mate ( Randall ) and , a , sailor were drowned , another sailor was killed by . a ' shot from the Indians , and ' the . rie : maining three were carried off prisoners ' . \ Whiie this-was ' passing on the ' coast ; the five Indians ' on board suddenly attached the rest of the people , consisting of six men , including the captain * ,, They killed the latter in a , most barbarous manner , wounded the second / mate , George Wright , in the
back , threw oyertioard Mr William Douglas , the freighter of the vessel ;' aind another person ^ both of whom they afterwards picked up at sea , " when they had killed the captain . The second mate and the rest of the sailors then defended themselves . The Indians became pacified , saying , in bad Spanish , mixed with worse English , that they , would not kill the good sailors . ' * Marihc ' ro bono no killed , ' are their words , ; as entered in the log-book . Soon after several Indians came in a launch , steered by one of the captured sailors . , They plundered the ship , giving the preference to articles of brass over everything else , even belore gold and silver . The captain ' s body they threw into the sea , horribly mutilatefl , with the head almost severed from the trunk .. They carried off Mr Douglas , and left behind them on board ten or a dozen of their own people- On the following day they returned in the boat , managed by the sailers , their prisoners . The current carried
them away seme distance from the Avon . They made the shore again . and again pished for the ship , which they reached . They . took off everything that had been collected by , the , Indians , which they had left on board the day before > . made the- sailors convey them on shore ia the boats ; and having disembarked themselves and their plunder ,, sent off the sailors who had been attacked on shore ; they remained , with Mr Douglas , and the three men whom , they had ; seized from the beginning .. The sailors ,, having , returned on board ; put to sea for this port . The second mate ( Wright ); who has come iu command , of the vessel , is cured of his- wound . Such , are the particulars which appear in the log took . The regularity of the statement , and the further details , which we , have heard from axompetent person who examined the people on boaad , leave us no room to suspect their exactness , much less since'they aSrm that Mr Douglas and three meaare alive with the Indians .
