David Salomons seconded the resolution . lie was prepared to say , that the scheme for taking sixteen millions of money for the manufacture of Irish railways was a scheme for the benefit of Irish landlords , and nothing else . The only remedy , in his opinion , was to comcel the
landloras of Ireland to do their duty , and he considered it was the bounden duty of every constituency in the kingdom to meet and support the government in their measure of giving a poor law to Ireland . Sir Benjamin Hall said he understood , from the best information in the city , that such a scheme as Lord George Bentinck ' s was treated as moonshine , and he thought he would find it all moonshine in the House of Commons . For his own part ho would give it his most determined opposition . The resolution was then put from the chair , and carried unanimously , amidst loud cheering . Mr . Joseph then moved that a petition founded on the resolution be f orthwith prepared , and be placed in the hands of Sir Benjamin Hall , on Monday , for presentation to the IIOUSO of Commons on Monday evening .

pot . Mr . Bennett , parochial surgeon , examined the bi . idy after death , without being ablo to trace in it the slightest particlo of food .

In answer to the coroner and jury , the witnesses gave it as their opinion , that the dust-heap had not been undermined in any way , but that the cause of the fall resulted from the rottenness of the upper portion of the heap , consequent on the recent fall of snow on the surface , and the sudden thaw The Jury ullimately returned a , verdict of " Accidental death . "
SunciCAL OrsnATio . vs wnnwT Pain . —On Thursday last , at St . George ' s Hospital , two formidable operations were performed whilst the patients were under tho influence of ether . The first was a case of lithotomy ; the patient , a boy of four years of age , who was admitted into the hospital under the care of Mr . Cutler . The child evinced much terror , and was remarkably violent till tho ether was administered , but on respiring the vapour for two or three minutes became insensible , and during the operation was perfecty passive , and appeared to suffer neither pain nor discomfort , Ia the second case , the patient , a woman forty years of age , had suffered for the last twelve months from a large tumonr in the right breast ; Mr . 11 . C . Johnson , to
whose care she . was committed , having determined on the removal of the tumour , proceeded to its extirpation , which was successfully accomplished in a few minutes . The phenomena produced in this instance , as the effects of ether , were somewhat peculiar . The woman bad been in the hospital a month previously , and there suffered severely from an attack of bronchitis . She left the hospital for a time , and wasre-admittedadayor two since , for the purpose of undergoing the operation , tho bronchitis having somewhat subsided , For the last ten years she had had a troublesome cough from a diseased condition of the bronchial tubes . These circumstances induced him to- hold a consultation with his colleagues as to the propriety of administering the ether , where the
chest was so far implicated in a chronic disorder . It was determined that as , d priori , no good physrolo gicai reason existed against the administration oi the ether , the poor woman should be submitted to its influence . The patient accordingly inhaled the vapour . Cbngh was soon induced , which was followed by a rapid pulse , but by no very decided effect on the pupil of the eye . She did not appear to be insensible , but became somewhat livid in aspect , from a partial state of asphyxia , and although the ether was continued for many minntes during this state , perfect unconsciousness did not supervene . Mr . Johnson asked the woman , at the conclusion of the operation ; if she had suffered caring tic employment of tho knife . She said that she was perfectly
aware of what was going on , but had- not felt the slightest pain . After the patient was placed in bed , she again asserted what she had before stated . From this last case it would appear that the existence of bronchitis does not vitiate the advantages derived from the inhalation of ether in surgical operations , and , moreover , that , although a state ot insensibility is not always- indsced , that bodily pain may by the influence of this agent , be prevented . More Operatkmw under tub ItwursNCB oy Etiibr . —Mr . Charles Guthrie , on Friday last , performed a series of operations in the-Westminster Ophthalmic Institution , on patients while under the influence of etherie-vapour . The first was the remoral of a tumour from the base of the skull of a
woman aged nearly 60 years ; the second the amputation of a thumb from the left hand of a man named Maeartney , a well-known employee at Vauxhall Gardens ; and tho third ; probably one of the moat painful operations which can- be conceived , the removal of the groat toe naik from a young man > aged about nineteen years . Eaoh of the cases was exceedingly interesting , and the result most satisfactory in proving the perfect efficacy of the vapouvaa an atitidote-to pain . Oneofthe roost remarkable operations yet tried under the influence of ether waa performed at the King ' s College Hospital , by Mr . Fcrgusson . The patient , about thirty-three years of age , had his arm amputated , three years ago , at the shoulderjoint i but the wound left by the operation never
entirely healed . Indications of disease- in the blade- , bone gradually appeared , and after a time it was evident that a very extensive portion of this bono , and also a part of the collar-bone attached to it , were affected by carious incurable ulceration . The bladebone was so far implicated that it waa deemed essential to remove it entire , this being the only chance of affording the patient a perfect recovery . The ether was administered by Starting Inhaler , and the result was most striking . In a few minutes the patient was plunged into a deep and quiet slumber , when the surgeon immediately commenced the requisite incisions . The wound required was necessarily very largo , and the dissection tedious and ex-1 tensive , in order to separate and sever-the connexions
of so large a bone as the bladebonc . 1 hese proceedings ( most skilfully executed ) occupied about fifteen minutes . The severity of such an operation under ordinary circumstances may be easily imagined . In the present instance , however , the operation was begun and completed , the patient being hardly conscious of anything having been done . This he declared after regaining his senses . He has proceeded most favourably since the operation , which is one of pesuliar interest in a surgical , as well as etherial , point of view , inasmuch as it ia understood to bo the first example of tho kind that has ever occurred in this country . At tho Middlesex hospital , Mr . Arnott removed a number of painful tumours from a young woman while under the influence of ether , which in this case also perfectly succeeded .
Fatai , Accident oh thb Ice ix Betit . vai , Gbrbn . —On Wednesday afternoon an inquest was taken before Mr . W , Baker , at the King ' s Arms , Anne ' splace , Bethnal-green , on the body of Eliza York Mead , aged eleven years , of No . 10 , Anne's-place . The deceased on Monday evening last , was playing on some ice in Bunker ' s Pond , close to the Regent ' s Canal , in Anne ' s-place , the ice gave way , and she was immersed & depth , of seventeen feet . Ad alarm was immediately raised , and the drags were auicklv
brought into requisition , but they were useless . A young man , named Cleaver , instantly stripped himself , plunged through tho opening , and endeavoured to rescue the unfortunate girl ; but failed in doing so , and was brought out insensible and bleeding copiously f rom several wounds on his chest and back , caused by the ice cutting him . Several persons succeeded in breaking the ice , and tho deceased was recovered in about two hours afterwards . The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death , " and eulogised Cleaver for his praiseworthy conduct .
Extessivb Robberies . —On Wednesday the police received information of the following robberies : — From the counting-house of Thomas Jackson , Esq ., Commecrial-road , Pimlico , two £ 10 Bank of England notes , one Reading note for £ 5 , two £ 5 Bank of England notes , £ 17 in gold , and cheque for £ 912 s . From tho shop of Mr . Marr , Wardour-strect , Soho , a gold watch ; and also from the parlour of Mr . Jones , 31 , Penton-streei , Pentonvillc , a gold watch , three gold seals , and a gold curb chain , by a man who called at the house to sell prints . From the shop window of Mr . Hubbard , jeweller , Dorking , four silver watches and a pair « f eases . From tho Cumberland mews , a double-bottomed silver watch , a metal watch , silver guard , and a considerable quantity of wearing apparel . From the house of Colonel Simms , Hyde Park-gate , eighteen silver tablespoons , various articles of wearing apparel , and other property .
Inquests in St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital—On Wednesday Mr . Wm . Payne held three inquests in St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital . Tho first , on the body of Sarah Campbell , aged 72 , Cliff Street , Now North Road . It appeared that on Wednesday afternoon loud screams were heard to proceed from the deceased ' s apartments , and on some persons entering therein they found deceased ' s clothing on fire ; the flames at the time were mounting over her head . As soon as possible the fire was extinguished , but not before the poor creature was dreadfully burned . She was removed to the above hospital , where she died on Saturday last . The accident was caused by a rushlight deceased had in her hand . Verdict— " Accidental death . " The second inquest was on the body of Ann Parker , aged 73 , of 27 , Cross Street , llatton
Garden . On Wednesday week deceased , who was very feeble , fell o ff her chair into tho lire , and set her clothing in a blaze . The fire was extinguished , and deceased was taken to the hospital , where s he died on Monday last ; but as tho surgeon was of opinion that tho cause of death was not from the effects of the injury received , but from a decay of nature , the Jury returned a verdict of " Natural death . " The third inquest was on tho body of a newly born female child , found in the privy belonging to the out-patients , on Monday last . There was no evidence to prove who had placed the child there , and tho suraeon could not tell positively whether it was born alive or not ; the Jury , therefore , returned a verdict of" Found dead , " at the same expressing their belief thut it had died from natural Muaeg .
Public Dinner To Mr. Waklett^ A Dinner W...
PUBLIC DINNER TO MR . WAKLEtT ^ A dinner was given on Monday evemn » at n , Angel Inn , Islington , toThomas Wakley , Esq ' 9 by his ' constituents , the inhabitants of Finsbury ab-n * seventy of whom were present . The chair was t-ik * l by Mr . Fielden , M . P ., who , on the cloth bciV r # ! moved , proposed a toast which ho said used to bo drunk in past times— "The People , tho source of ah political power , " entering at some length into their present as compared with their past condition , jjg thought that there was ho fact more indicative of their fall in prosperity than tho immense number o { acts which had been passed of late years relative to the poor . Jle found that the acts in operation before ,
that of the dth and 5 th of William the Fourth ( tho Poor Law Amendment Act ) were 117 , and Mweacta were all passed between the years 1505 and IS'H , a period of 260 years ; while the number passed between that year and 1840 , a period of twelve years , amounted to 54 . He thought that there could ba nothing mere conclusive to show the unsatisfactory state of the poor than that fact . He also found that the number of acts increased as tho national debt increased , and tho poverty of the people increased in the same ratio . The debt went on augmenting ; it amounted to £ 100 , 000 , 000 , and poverty had been cast upon the people by the consequent taxation . A great struggle was then made for reformand they .
, had obtained a Reform Bill , which he maintained had not meliorated the condition of the people , because it had not gone far enough . He went through the principal measures which have been since passed commenting upon them as altogether insufficient foe tho purpose , and condemning the Poor Law Amendment Bill in severe terms . Tho system ef annual parliaments was the great cure for evils of the kind and that system the people had a right to demand ! He concluded by proposing cordially the toast which he had given thtni . "The People" was , accordingly , drunk with the preatest enthusiasm , and waa followed by the health of the Queen , with appropriate honours .
The Cn-aimus then proposed tho health of the guest of the company and his own friend , Mr . Wakley of whoso conduct , in public and private life , bespoke ) in the highest terms . Mr . Waklbv , in expressing his acknowledgments ' , spoke of the duties of a member of the legislature who did justice to his constituents , which ho de . scribed to be severe in the extreme , but the hard * ships of which he had gone through for many yean , holding at the same time the no le .-s onerous office of coroner for the county . lie agreed with his hon , friend . ' the chairman , as to the insufficiency of reform in parliament , dwelling especially upon Irish affairs , the necessity for an equitable poor-law foe that country , and the inefficiency of the present gc « vemtttentand other measures for remedying its dis « tress . The hon . gentleman then ' . referred to soma
accusations made against him with reference to tha late flogging caso at ilounslow , when it was alleged that he kept hack certain medical testimony , lie ap . plied for a criminal information in the Court of Q / joen ' s Bench against his maligners ; the rule nisi was granted , but subsequently discharged , and against which decision he was about to appeal by civil action . He maintained that Mr . Wilson—tho witness whom he called—was a highly competent man ; and he assured them that although he was his per * sonal friend , he knew nothing of his opinions on the subject until Ive heard them in court . * Ho was determined that the whole case should be investigated , and in the mean time hoped that they were not afe all shaken in their confidence in him as a representative . Mr . Wakley concluded with aome remarks upon the necessity for a reform in the present poorlaw , which were received with great applause .
The health of Mr . Thomas Duncombe , M . P ., waa then proposed by the Chairman ,, together with several other toasts , which were warmly responded to ; shortly after which tho party broke up .
Dreadful Wreck. Of An Emigrant Ship.—Fif...
DREADFUL WRECK . OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP . —FIFTY LIVES LOST . Letters communicating a most deplorable event were received at Lloyd ' s on Saturday ,, through the medium of the packet ship Queen of the West , which arrived at Liverpool on the previous evening , detail , ing the particulars of the total wreck of the Creole , a barque of 400 tons burden , with 120 French and English passengers onboard , upwards of fifty of whoni met a watery grave on the coast of Cuba . It appears the vessel was one wholly unfit for the purposes of emigration , being what is termed an" old Quebecer . * She belonged to New Orleans , and was chartered by a firm in London for agents at Bordeaux , f rom which port she sailed in the early part of November fast for New Orleans , tho ship beW commamled by Ea » tain
Cayal . The catastrophe happened ou the night of Dec . 19 » , on a sunken reef of rocks , about six miles to the windward of Point Materrierllos , near the entrance of the river leading to Nuevitus . It was about hal f past eleven o ' clock ^ theivind blowingon the land . The instant after she struck , Capt . Cayal ordered tb « boats to be cut away and launched for the saving of the passengers , observing the destruction of tho ship was inevitable , the shock being so tremendous , and barely had that been effected eve she beg ? m to break up , and several were crushed to death between hec deals and bulwarks . The dismay and consternation among the emigrants was of a character agonising in the extreme - most of them were in their night clothes , and their cries and supplications for succouc rendered t ho scene most distressing . The boats were
immediately crammed , and pulled through the surf to the beach , which was gained in safety . On theic return the ship had parted in two , and numbers were struggling in tho waves . A number were picked up and taken off the wreck . but upwards of fifty perished , among whom were the Commander , Captain Cayal , the cook , eighteen females , twenty children under 12 years of age ,, and the others male emigrants . The ) captain could have saved himself , but he refused to leave the wreck until the emigrants had been rescued The first mate ( who remains in charge of the wreck ) behaved nobly in saving the lives of several unfortu * nate creatures . Some of the ctww , we regret to say , committed several acts inhuman in the extreme .
I hey plundered many of the passengers of theic money , and threatened the lives of those who resisted ; they also robbed the dead of everything that was valuable , even cutting off the fingers and ears to possess themselves of jewellery . Most of the fiend * have been arrested . The survivors , on , teaching Suevitus , were ^ hospitably received by the citizens and clothed . Of the emigrants baggage not a box or packago was saved , consequently their situation is deeply to be deplored . The last accounts from the spot stata the vessel has wholly disappeared , and her fragments are strewn along tho beach . Twenty seven bodies have been picked up , and decently interred . Tho loss of the ship and contents is estimated at upwards of £ 25 , 000 .

CORN EXCHANGE , Februaux " l 5 . At all the leading provincial markets , held at the clos * of last week , very high prices were obtained for wheat . and tho value of tlmt article is now nearly as high as it was previous to the recent decline . Tlie change which has taken place in ttie weather since Saturday night may . pcrhaps , ; iiave the etteet ' lof checking the advance , as tha chances of receiving early supplies from the northern ports of Europe arc increased by tho breaking up of tha frost . The arrivals of wheat coastwise into Luiidun harti been small during tho past week , nor was the show o £ samples by land carriage from Esses , Kent , and Suft ' olk , by any means largo this morning . The extremely damp state of the atmosphere caused most of the wheat to eorao to hand in indifferent condition , notwithstanding which the market opened with considerable animation at an advance of Is to 5 s . per ( jr . on the currency of this day se ' mugnt . After the best lots had been cleared off , the inquiries became less active , but the rise was maiutaiued to the close .
