      public opinion ra your fdvotrr , which lies latent in society , and only waits to feo elicited by , appropriate measures . The letter of Mr . Srsest Jokes , in last week ' s ' Star , ' and that of Censor , ' in our present number , contain practical suggestions worth y of consideration , and ought to be followed b y immediate action . Remember , the time is rapidly approaching for there-assembling of Parliament , and the production of the Ministerial measure . In the interval * decided and general expression of popular opinion on the subject , would , no donbt , largel y influence the Premier as to trablic opinion in your fdvotrr , which lies latent'

      its nature and scope . Everything is in favour of a great popular movement on the subject . The exposure of the abominations of St . Allan ' s , and the statement of Mr . CkPPoCK , ' I could take a list of the English boroughsbeginning with Abingdon , and ending with the last letter ; and if I were to put opposite , as I could , " the Member paid so much for his seat , '' 1 should , perhaps , make as extraordinary a statement as that you have heard from Mr . Edtvabds , '—wbo had just gone over the St . Alban s Register , and ticked off each voter , with tho price he had paid them for their votes .

      Such a declaration as this is alone sufficient to ensure the downfall of the present infamodfty corrupt demoralising caricature of a representative system . It cannot bo t-derated any longer , that such persons as the Cofpocks and Edwakdes are to return the men who are called the representatives of the people of England , and who , though they represent them as much as they do the Grand Lama , nave the power of enacting the laws , imposing

      the taxes , and formin g the Government of this country . This worse than sham—this monstrous grievance—must ho swept away . The disclosures of its rottenness have just come in time to impart an irresistible strength to any movement for its destruction . "Will the Chartists waste their energies in personal petty squabbles about verbal trifles , when so great and so good a work calls for them to put forth all their energies as an organised and a living party ?

      A Slippery Statesman. Clever Pauieustok ...

      A SLIPPERY STATESMAN . Clever Pauieustok has at length contrived to get his finger into the Kossuth pie . It was understood au intimation had Leon conveyed to the illnBtrions patriot , that the Foreign Secretary had no objection to give lava , an tmofficial interview , and of which it appears Kossuth did not avail himself . Disappointed in this quarter , the astute Viscount lias been enabled , through the instrumentality of some convenient friends or dnpes in finsbury and Islington , to assert his personal importance , aud to make a little political capital , which he hopes may , at a pinch , serve his purposes hereafter .

      By express arrangement his Lordship came from "Windsor—the present residence of the QUEEN—to receive two addresses agreed to at public meetings , in which his 'lofty courage and manl y resolution / his ' spirited and humane conduct , ' in rescuing Kossuth 'from the hands of those merciless tryauts and despots , ivho soug ht his destruction , ' was dul y lauded . Another of the addresses , still more trul y stigmatized the 'Christian potentates / who sought the life of the Hungarian Patriot , as " * odiou 3 and detestable assassins . ' It would lave been well if the compliments to the Foreign Minister had been as accurate in point of fact as tho description of the two Imperial ruffians . But this is not the case . We are not aware that Lord PaxmekSToIT did

      anything whatever towards procuring the release of Kossuth . "What hedid , wastosupport the Sultan in his refusal to yield up Kossuth in 1849 to the Austrian and Russian , ambassadors at Constantinople . This was not , howeve £ because the English Foreign 3 Iinister wished to protect the Magyar Hero against Lis foes , but because we were bound by treaty to prevent any aggression upon the Independence of Turkey . To the eloquent aud pow * erfal appeals of Kossuth himself , Lord Pai-MEKsioxhas , as far as we know / returned no reply j and had not the Government of the

      "United States departed from the traditional policy laid down by Washikgtos , and interfered , for the first time , in European politics , it is quite probable that Kossuth and his compatriots would yet have been languishing in their Asiaticfprison , if tbey had not been cut off by the dagger of the assassin , or poisoned by the deadl y cooks in tbe pay of Vienna . Unfortunately , Lord Palmersiojs ' s sympathy for oppressed and struggling nationalities all evaporates in words . He says sufficient to irritate and annoy the despotic and oppressive powers who perpetuate the tyranny , but he does nothing to protect the victims from the increased severities , which are tbe results of

      hia word y andf utile meddling . In fact , it would be better if he would say nothing , rather than induce foreign patriots to believe he will render ihem efficient aid , and , under that impression , to p lace themselves in a position which they otherwise would not have occupied , and tbus expose themselves to tbe merciless cruelties of tbe tyrants . That was the case in Sicily and Kaples . His sympathy appeals to be onl y a deceptive lure to betray the popular party more surely , and to give the fiends in power greater means of completely crushing those who , but for sucb betrayal , might escape the persecution , the suffering , or the death to which their oppressors doom them .

      TVe look , therefore , with extreme suspicion upon any movements of Lord Palmebston of this nature . It may not be his own fault that he is not able to g ive practical effect to his words when the hour of need arrives . There may be influences iu the present Administration too powerful for him to contend against ; but , at all events , it is rig ht that the fact should not be losl sight of , and that we should know the exact value to be put on Ms profes aious of sympathy with popular movements abroad . , ,. j The only gratifying part of the proceedings connected with the presentation of these ad- j dresses was the statement that the influence

      « f the Government of this country over Foreign Affairs consists in its being backed b y public opinion . This confession virtually reraovesdi p lomacyfrom thelist of the occult arts , to be practised in secrecy a » d silence , and p laces national relations among other public questions , to be dealt with publicly and openly . It is not necessary that all the details of each transaction should be made public at the moment of their occurrence . It would be « nough of the princi ple by which each was to be regulated was publicly avowed , hi connexion with a statement of the leading farts to whkh that princip le would be app lied . This would -effect a revolution in dinlomacy . of incalculable

      service to all nations . t While we are not disposed fo think very highly of Lord PalmekstOa ' s power or desire to give substantial aid to the cause of Uaerty and national independence on the continent , n must in fairness ; be added , that his official reception of these addresses , aud some of the sentiments expressed by him , nave given deep offence to the despotic powers , ana must tend to increase any alienation that may previously have existed between them anu this country . The ' Times / as the organ of the Absolutist Courts , is exceedingly « T ? tu with tbe Foreign Secretary , for receiving addresses wbich characterise the allies o f hia

      Eoyal Mistress , as ' odious and detestable assassins / 'merciless tyrants and despots / with merel y the mild protest , that * it could not be expected be should concur in some of the expressions in these addresses / Certainly , taken in connexion with other portions of his Lordship ' s rejly , they are not calculated to give OUT foreign allies any very high op inion of the sincerity of the Government with which

      they are on terms of professed amity . As to the feeling of the People therecanheno mistake about that . If we are to believe the Foreign Minister , while the Government have no desire to be urged on to war , they are desirous of upholding tho nationality of foreign countries ; and if , as he added , tho moral power ot the Government , backed b y public opinion , is greater on tho continent than is generally believed , we have the foundation laid for an efficient intervention on the renewal of hostilities . But can he be trusted in making these declarations ? There is too much truth in the closing sentence of the ' Times' leader : — they are on terms of rjrofe . * md amitv . As to

      Lord Palmerston is too much a man of the world to act in earnest the popular parts in winch ho excels : and we hold him to be parfectly indifferent to tbe objects he effects to espouse , except in so far as tbey may conduce to some thrust of resentment abroad or some cry of popularity at home . Iu reality , Lord Palmorston is neither formidable as an enemy to established Government , nor serviceable na an ally to insurrections ; but , unfortunately , his language is apt to estrange from us the goodwill of the former , though his actions will eventually consign the latter to perdition .

      The Faction Fight In Fraxceup To The Pre...

      THE FACTION FIGHT IN FRAXCEUp to the present moment victory has declared in favour of the President . The majority of seven against the project for restoring Universal Suffrage , has been reduced , b y several explanations , from seven to two . So that question is settled . It would be absurd to suppose that a law , which disfranchises nearl y 4 , 000 , ( 100 Frenchmen , can stand in the face of such a division . Its only chance of being obeyed lay in the appearance of an overwhelming majorit y | such as that by which it was passed , andb y the union and determination of the Assembly and the Executive to enforce it . Deprived of that majority , union , and determination , it is a mere p iece of waste paper . To all intents and purposes we may look upon Universal Suffrage as restored .

      Furious at their defeat , the reactionary factions in tho Assembly made a move , which if successful , would have evidentl y preci p itated an armed contest between them and the Pre * side-st . They induced thequestors to put forward a proposition by which M . Dtjpin , the President of tie Assembly , would have had the right of summoning the army , and appointing a general for the defence of the Chamber . The obvious , and scarcely concealed object of this proposition , was to place , hy apparently constitutional means , General Changabnieb at the head of an army powerful enough to contend with that section of the military force which might he commanded by Bonapaf » te's nominee . The proposition was a startlin g and a serious one . It menaced

      immediate and open war between the rival competitors for power , each of them intent onl upon the subjugation of the liberties of tlie people , and the elevation of their respective dynastic interests . Not the least singular part of the matter was the quarter from whence the proposal emanated . The questors are officers somewhat similar with respect to position and functions to our own Sergeant-at-arms , Usher of the Black Rod , or House Keeper of the House of Commons . Of course , it is ridiculous to suppose that a measure of such importance reall y came from these

      ( subordinate functionaries . They were the Cat ' s-paws of tbat indefatigable and mischievous plotter , M . Thiers , who exerted himself to tbe utmost to procure its adoption . The result of one of the most stormy sittings ever known in the Assembl y , was the rejection of the proposition b y a majority of 208 . The majority is beaten and dispersed . Its vaii d sections are no longer held together by any common princi p le of action , For the time there as a Parliamentary Chaos in France among those whose union and discipline bode anything but good for the nation . So far as the preliminary struggles for 1852 have gone , they have terminated in favour of the

      Republic . The Republican party have evidently learned the use of Parliamentary weapons . They step shovlder to shoulder—are officered hy the ablest men of them , and only put forward their best orators to explain and defend their views . The consequence has been by the unanimous confession of the journals of all parties , that the Left has home off the palm , not only for ability , but for its calm and lofty bearing . The conspirators against the Republic feel that they have p layed , and are playing a losing game , and stung to madness by the conviction , they are pursuing a course which we confidentl y antici pate will lead to their own overthrow . Vive Le Uepub-Uque .

      Depart0ee Of Kossuth. The Hungarian Chie...

      DEPART 0 EE OF KOSSUTH . The Hungarian Chief sailed from Cowes Road on Thursday ni ght , accompanied by the love and best wishes of the people of England . During his stay among us he has won golden opinions from all men . Even those who , previous to his arrival , commenced a course of slander and detraction , bave been forced into admiration of his transcendent abilities as au orator , and to confess that he has exhibited j at the same time , the greatest moderation , both in language and spirit , while ad .

      vocating the policy he deems best calculated to promote the permanent interest , not only of his own country , but of all Europ eau nationalities . The remarkable tact and skill with which he adapted himself to the various audiences he addressed—his fine perception of the diverse shades of political parties among us—and his thorough and hearty appreciation of whaterer is liberal aud progressive in our institutions , have never been exceeded—we may say equalled , by any

      public man in this country . In fact , the matter and the manner of his speeches were so wonderful , that tho man himself has been justly termed a ' Psychological Curiosity ; ' and he has left an impression of rare and commanding abilities npon the public mind which will never be effaced . We trust that his welcome to the shores o f the Atlantic will bo not less enthusiastic than it was to our own ; aud tll « t 3 a addition to the recognition of the peoplo , he will have that of the Government of the United States .

' in consequence of quantities of lead having been mis .-ed from tlut portion of the prison in which tbey wore employed , some of the materials were marked ; and on the same day , Mr . Hoare , the deputy governor , received information that a

      considerable portion of the marked lead had baun bktn . -. way . t \ communication was thereupon made to Fisher , a detective ofScer , who Watched the prisoners as they left tho House of Correction . Observing that they had something bulky about them he followed them to an old stove shop , where Battle put a quantity of load into the scale . Fisher then went into the shop and asked them what they had there . Battle said ho knew nothing about it . The ! eMi was identified by Mr . Hoare as part of that which was marked , and taken away . —The prisoners were convicted , and each sentenced to six months ' hard labour in Coldbath-fields .

      . Rodbert by a SiiOPMiU . —John Dinks , 40 , was indicted for having stolen six silk handkerchiefs , and other articles , the property of Thomas and John Vetiables , his master . —The Prosecutors , . Messrs . T . and jr . y enablcs , carried on business as dr apers in Whitcchape ) , and the prisoner was in their employ . Suspicion being entertained as to bis honesty , be was called into tbe counting-house on the 28 th of October , and told that he was suspected , and one of the partners and another person went to his room , and in a box there , which belonged to him , they found two pair of kid gloves , four pair of cuffs , throe neck ties , six silk handkerchiefs , and other articles , value £ 2 5 s ., which wore identified as the property of tbo prosecutors . The handkerchiefs were missed from the stock the same

      morning . Ihe prisoner , when tho property was found , said , " I hope you will forgive me , I have a wife and six children . "—The prisoner was convicted and sentenced to be imprisoned for twelve calendar mouths . ITousBBBBJKiiVO . —Michael Mahoney , IC , was indicted charged with having feloniously broken and entered the dwelling-house of Robert Henry Turner , a b » ker , Jfo . 11 , Crescent-ptac © , Burton-crescent , and stealing therein a mustard-pot and other articles , value £ 5 . —The prisoner had been in tho

      employ of the prosecutor , but ceased to be so about a month ago . The robbery was committed on tho night of tbe 27 th of October , and it was supposed that the prisoner had got through a grating in the pavement into a coal cellar , thence into the kitchen , from which he made his way to the front parlour , where he ransacked a cupboard . The prisoner was detected through going to a general dealer ' s shop to sell part ot the property , and when accused of the theft he said he purchesed it in Petticoat-lane . —He was convicted , and sentenced to twelve mouths' hard labour .

      Kkepixq a Disorderly IIoi » s . —Mary Ann Ttice , GQ , was indicted for keeping a disorderly house in the parish of St . Luke . Upon being placed at the bar the prisoner pleaded guilty to the indictment , and her counsel admitted that she had been convicted in that court in 1345 of a similar oBence . — Air . Pnrry said the house for which the defendant was indicted was ihe resort of thieves and prostitutes , aud was conducted in the worst possible manner , coupled with the fact of having been convicted , in 1845 , for keeping a similar den near to the notorious house in West-street , which was the reputed scene of robbery , and even murder . Since tbat time she had kept brothels in Field-lane , Holborn ; and iu Newcastle-court , Strand . The court sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned and kept to bard labour for six months .

      Indecent Prists , & c—James Norman was indieted ior having unlawfully sold certain indecent prints and publications . The defend ait pleaded guilty , begging the courb to have mercy upon him , as lie had a wife and family and an aged blind mother to support . —Mr . Glarkson , who appeared for the prosecution on the part of the Society for the Suppression of Tice , said he was sorry to havo to press upon the Court that the prisoner was not a mere circulator of these prints amongst individuals , but was in fact a wholesale dealer , circulating them amongst persons connected with the ship . - ping in the vicinity of Eatcliffe , Wapping , and Shadweil . This would explain to tho jury why the society did not join in the prisoner ' s application ior mercy . —Mr , Turner said tho prints were of a most atrocious description , and he could not consistently perform his duty by passing a lower sentence than an imprisonment with hard labour for twelve months .

      A Pickpocket . —Mary Ann Langford , 30 , was found Guilty of attempting to pick pockets at the Great Northern Railway Station in Maiden-lime . A most improper course was taken by the policeconstable in this case , 185 S , who most unwarrantably informed the jury that the prisoner had been previously convicted before they had delivered their verdict . Tho prisoner was sentenced to be kept to hard labour lor twelvemonths . Robbery at ihb St , K & tiiarine ' s Dock— H .

On the 20 th October , towards the middle of the day , he was observed by the Customs landing surveyor proceeding towards the P warehouse , with a lire-bucket in his hand , but on turning a corner with it some of the liquor was spilt , upon noticing which , and seeing tho colour of the liquor , he sent one of his men to ascertain what it was that had been in the bucket . Upon being questioned the prisoner made no answer , hut set down the bucket and ran up the warehouse stairs , got out of a loop hole , ' and droppt-d on to tha stage

      below . He was caught a short distance trom the warehouse , and then he admitted having taken the wine from the quay , and said that it had come out of a cask there . The prisoner was partly intoxicated , and on being searched a gimlet was found upon him . There was reason to believe that the wine had been extracted from the cask through a hole made with that instrument . —The defence was that the wine came into the prisoner's possession by accident , and not feloniously . —The jury found the prisoner Guilty , but recommended him to mercy on Account of hia good character . —Ilr .

      Brethren , —Having been connected with the movement since its commencement , and experience , } all it 8 vicissitudes , I am emboldened to address you at this critical juncture , and add" my testimony to the sentiments exin-essed in Ernest Jones ' s letter in last week ' s afar . ' Never have we hud a more talented or influential bod y at our head than the majority ( if those comprising- the present Executive . . Never was the movement in such a lethargic state . Whence does this arise ?

      Solel y from our having no defined policy . Without a defined policy there can be no energy—without energy success is impossible , the princi ples of tho Charter are more popular and more widely spread than at anv previous period . A defined policy and an energetic head will arouse and create enthusiasm throughout the entire body , ^ Ye wan t not deliberation , but action . We need not the cold dogmas of philosophy ; but the warm enthusiasm 0 f the heart . The feelings must ho aroused ere the judgment will respond . Your Executive must not be above , but of the people . It must be ever present with them » i their deliberations , animating and insensibly

      guiding the whole . To do this thev must lis paid for their services . Their number should not exceed five . Your present Plan of Ov gawisatiwi is good , but it must be efficiently «' orked . Delegate councils must be established . Plans of lectures must be issued in each disti'ict . Enthusiasm , when created , must not be suffered to subside . Continued exertions for the next six months will be more productive of « ood results than years of apathetic culm , Your Executive must have but one object'the Charter ; ' one means to obtain it—a wide-spread agitation among the masses . Let them show themselves in earnest , and the people will be in earnest also . Let us not fall into the errors of 1842 and 1818 .

      Let the events of 1852 find us prepared and at our posts . Let all party bickerings cease . We shall speedily be iu front of the enemy . Disunion will be treachery , and will deserve to be punished as such . Let your decision be prompt and energetic , for delay is a crime . Yours , Thomas MAims Wheeler .

      —< USP .. — . Fins is Brighton . — Between one and two o ' clock on Tuesday morning the attention of the constable on duty in the Clifton-road was arrested by certain appearances betokening that some building in that neighbourhood was on fire . It was quickly discovered that an unfinished house in the new row near the church erecting in Cliftonroad was in flumes , and that they had already g ' . iined such hold as to render the chance of getting them under doubtful . Information was at once convoyed to Inspector Elphick , who lives not far distant , and to the Town-hall , wht-nee the fire had become visible . Friend Paine turned out , and

      with his engine and hose made ail haste for the spot . Be / ore he could reach it , however , the fire had got considerably ahe . td . The whole structure from top to bottom , was one mass of red flame , and the fire raged until it had completcly gutted the house , mid reduced its component parts to ashes . On inquiry wo learned that the Wilding was insured in tlie County Fire-office for £ 250 , but the entire value was estimated at £ 600 , to which the loss of time that must ensuo from the accident should be added . We regret to say , that there were in tho house tools belonging to tho workmen of tho value of £ 30 . These , of course , were not insured , and the loss to the poor fellows must be severely felt . —Brighton GaMle .

      Suspected MsnBER in Hampshire . —Very great excitement has prevailed in ltomsey , in Hampshire , in consequence of a murder , which is believed to have been commuted there . A farmer named Soft ' e , residing at Minsted , in the New Forest , attended Romsey market on the 13 th inst ., aud when he left the market to return home he had a considerable sum of money in his possession , the proceeds arising from the sale of a horse and some farming produce .

Farrington sat next to the locked door of tho cn . ni-. igo , and by some means succeeded in working his hand out of the handcuff unobserved . Soon after tho train had passed

      Wolverhampton station , and whilst it was at full speed somewhere in tho neighbourhood of Bushbury , Farrington jumped head foremost out of tlie window , and fell on the outside of the line . Thompson endeavoured to arrest the attention of the flU . 'U'd at tbo foremost part of the train , but could not succeed in doing so . He was seen about a . quarter of an hour afterwards on tho ground , near thy line , bleeding from his head , by some platClayers'in the employ of the railway company , who inquired how he got there , but they could not obtain from him any satisfactory answer , and shortly afterwards they saw him going across the fields towards Wol verhiim F'tOfii

Iu the early part " of June , whilst these troops were stationed on the banks of the Hudson , near Albany , the descendants of tho " p ilgrim fathers" flocked in from the eastern provinces , never was seen such a motley regiment as took up its position oa the left wing of the British army . Tho band played musiesoino two centuries of age , officers and privates had adopted regimentals each man after his own fashion ; ono wore a flowing wig , while his neighbour rejoiced in hair cropped closely to the

      head ; this one had a coat with wonderful long * kirts , his fellow marched without his upper garment ; various as the colours of the rainbow were the clothes worn b y tbe gallant hand , It so hap . pened that there was a certain Dr . Shuckbureh , wit , musician , and surgeon , and one evening after mess he produced a tune , which he earnestly comimmded as a well-known p iece of military music , to the officers of the militia . The joke succeeded , and Yankee Doodle was hailed by acclamation " their own march .

It was also proved that an order had been obtained by tho defendant to pay £ 20 into court , which M-der , however , was r . ot carried out in coiu-equence of a practical difficulty . At this stage of the causo it appeared that the onlv question wai whether the verdict should be for £ 21 ) or £ 17 10 s ., and the jury were addressed and his lordship summed up upon this understanding , when it was > tated that there was a mistake as to the evidence . Upon this the witness was recalled , and Iho then slated that his firm had done work altogether to nine houses ; that tho work to throo of them hud been paid for ; that tho present claim arose in respect of six of them ; and that £ 32 was a fair

      price , fj pon this the jury found a verdict for tho amount claimed . Affidavits were cow produced to show that the witness had been mistaken in tho evidence which he had given , and it was submitted that there should therefore be a new trial . Tho Chief Justice said his brother Williams reminded him that , the new law of evidence would render it necessary to make some alteration in tho practice of ordering new trials upon payment of costs , for formerly the fault was in the witnesses , but now it might bo the fault of a party to tho suit .

      Loss or the Steam Ship Vksta . —Since Sunday last the north-eastern portion of the coast has been visited hy one continuous heavy snow storm . Amongst the many disasters resulting from the storm , and which aro believed to . have been ol a most numerous and calamitous character , was the total loss of a fine steam ship called the Vesta , trading between Sunderland and Hamburg . She was commanded by Mr . Smith , who was part owner , and her crew comprised in all sixteen persons . She left Sunderland on Saturday , and during the atorm on Sunday morning sprung a leek , in consequence of which her fires were extinguished

      and she became unmanageable . The crew left her in a sinking condition on SumJ .-iy night , and were picked up next morning hy the Norfolk steamer . The precise spot of the Vesta ' s foundering has not been communicated , but we may mention that when tbe boat was picked up the Newsand Li ^ hfc bore some ibur or five miles distant N . N . E . Further northward than tho Tyne the snow fell heavilv , and in the vicinity of Fraserburgh , the Edward , of Lynn , supposed to bo from Berwick to Glasgow , was totally wrecked , and every creature on board it is believed perished . Several bodies havo been washed ashore .

A writer in tho " Literary Gazette" says , " Wo have iournied day after day , week after week , ever uncultivated fields and unfilled plains , where tho rich soil and ineffaceable raavka of ancient cultivation held out promises of sure and ample reward to the industrious agriculturist .

      Thursday morning an inquiry took place before Mr . Bedford , at the ltcd Lion , York-street , St . Jatnes ' ssquare , as to ihe death of James Thompson , Esq ., ased sixty-five , a gentleman of fortune , who was formerly in the naval service of tho East India Company . The jury having viewed the body , which was lying at Crockford ' s Palace Club Chambers , St . Jamcs ' s-street , John F / egg , chamberlain at Crockford ' s stated , that tho deceased had resided there for the last seven months . On Wednesday morning he had breakfast as usual , and gave directions as to what he wished done . At half past eleven he gave witness a stock to have a buckle put on , and on taking it back at twelve he was not in his room , and he supposed he had gone to the water

      closet . In tho evening-, as he had given no orders about his dinner , witness went and knocked at his door , but no answer was returned . Inquiries were made , but no one had seen him , nor could he be anywhere heard . At last it was determined to open his room door , as witness became greatly alarmed at seeing his silver snuff box on the table , his gold watch on the mantlcpiece , and hia hat and gloves on one of the chairs , lie then went to the water closet , and the door having been forced open the unfortunate gentleman , was discovered bent up with his head on the floor , quito stiff , and he must have been dead for at least six hours . Mr . Armstrong , of Buke- * treet , surgeon , said he found deceased as above described . Ho had a white

      neckerchief OH , and a black one over it , which were very tight , but tied in the usual way . lie had since opened tho body and found extensive disease of the heart , quite sufficient to causo death . In his opinion lie had fainted , and fallen down with his head on his shoulder , and the tightness of his neckerchief might have caused au overflow of blood to the brain . —The jury found that ho had died of disease of tho heart . Landokb Powder Magazine , —Various attempts have been made without avail to obtain the removal of the powder magaziiioat Landore , in the vicinity of Swanso'i , which it appears is situated in the midst of a largo population , and within a few yards of the South Wales Railway . At the last meeting of the Swansea town-council the subject was again

      mooted , when it was observed that a spark from a locomotive on the line might produce the most lamentable consequences . The magazine was erected in the first instance in a legal manner , and on a proper site , there being no houses in tho immediate vicinity , so that tho removal can only be effected by purchase , which it has been determined to do by a public subscription . It has been a cause of complniuUhut so dangerous a building aa a powder magazine should be suffered to stand within thirty yards of a line of railway . LlBKRALlTY OF PlilNCB -AlBEKT .

      iagtoi . ii- . ag to "" " THE CHEAT EXHIBITION . Tho noise of tho hammer is now heard incessantly and up to the latest hour within tho Gbi .-s Palace , and a corresponding amount of achievement marks the close of each day . Tho » : ivo was never fuller of packages than it is at present—a circiims-tancowhicb is partly attributable to the inadequacy of tho wharfage for the reception of tho gouds . Theva are onl y two boats leaving every week for Dunguergo , to which port the French goods are reshipped , and theso altogether insufficient to meet tho demand for space made upon them . It woulfl rory much facilitate the clearing of the building from the debris which now dibfigures it , if the authorities allowed the use of the Ordnance Wharf for

      tho reception and shipment of the goods . We believe that an application has beo « foi-nar- ' cd to tho proper quarter for this purpose . Amongst othev significant signs of the final break up may bo mentioned tho fact , that the working stall at the Exhibition has been considerably reduced , tho weekly expenditure not amounting to ' one-fourth of the sum at which it stood this day ' month . We are not aware that the effect of artificial H <> hfc within tho Glass Paheo has ever been noticed , bur , if well lit up with a sufficient quantity of gas , tho result , judging from the scattered and scanty jets that are now "let on" at tbe approach of night , would be singularly beautiful .

      ScicinF . of a Youso Woman . — On Thursday evening Mr . Payne held an inquest at Guy ' s Hospital , touching the death of a young woman , named Joanna Bern , who committed suicide by taking prussic acid . It appeared that on Tuesday evening last the deceased was at the house of Mr . Littleton , in Long-lane , whose wife she had been charring for , and that » young man , named Henry Thomas , who was paying his addresses to her , came to sea her homo . They had been joking together , when sho said she would go up stairs in the bedroom to » rasu herself , previous to aoin ^ to h er aunt ' s in tho Kent-road , with whom she Jived . She went up stairs , and Mrs . Littleton ' s sister , who was in the bedroom with her , soon alter-gave an alarm , which called up all tho inmates of tho house . The

      deceased then said , " She had done it , she had taken poison . " She then exclaimed , "Oh , Henry , " alluding to the young man , aud UumedvAicly ivi ' t 6 » w :. nla , ' , my poor mother ! " a bottle containing Prussia acid was found in the bedroom , and it waa proved that deceased used occasionally to employ herself in electro-plating handles of whips , walk * ing sticks , « fcc , in which process prussic acid ia used . The medical testimony of Mr , Pavey , who had analysed the contents of the stomach , was to the effect that death Wiih caused by prussic acid . Tho deceased was , generally speaking , in excellent spirits , but would sometimes complain about her father and mother having left her to go to America . Verdict— " Temporary insani y .

A W 01 ti . NKlI . LBn BY HUB HuslUND . —WORKIXG nAMT . — A case of groat brutality and violence , which has

      terminated fatally , has occurred m tho neighbourhood of this town , and created intense excitement in this locality . It appears that John Carey , a publican at Winkfield , has been latterly living on very unhappy terms with his wife from certain rumours that sho kept up an illicit intercourse with a young farmer not far distant . About the middle of Jasc month something transpired to strengthen tha suspicions that had long been rankling in his mind , and he then with maddened fury began belabouring her in the most brutal and unmerciful manner . Not content with punishing her to the extent his hands and fists enabled him , he resorted to the use of weapons , and then kicked her until sho was almost ; unable to move . The poor woman was so severely injured that it was found requisite by some of her

      neighbours ( who had been attracted by her erica ) to remove her to hw bed , and call in the assistance ol a medical gentleman . No hopo was entertained of her recovery from tho first , and she continues gradually to sink , and died , a ( off weeks since . Carey was then taken into cus « tody , ami on "Snesday underwent a lengthened examination before the county magistrates at the divisional petty sessions . Tho evidence given was confirmatory of the particulars above detailed . An inquest was commenced on Monday before Mr . Clark , the coroner for the district , and it was adjourned for a weeli , as tho case was then in the hands of the magistracy of the place . The magistrates remanded " Carey for a few days , when he will again be brought up and the caso completed against him ,
