An inquiry was gone into on Saturday , before 0 . J . Cartar , Esq ., and an intelli gent jury , at the Garrick ' s Head , Lower-road , Dcptford , touching the death of Mary Hatchings , aged 49 , the wife of John Ilutchines , a copper , recently employed in Her Majesty ' s Victualling Yard ,. Deptford , wlioss demise toak place on Saturday night last . The jury proceeded to view the bedy , which presented the remains of a delicate-looking little woman . The appearance of her hands caused the jury to suppose she had died of cholera . Seycral 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
in great pain . She said she had taken jalap . A surgeon was called in at half-pasteight o ' clock in the evening , who prescribed what he thought necessary , treating the case as one of cholera . Suspicion , however , having been excited , a postmortem examination of the stomach and contents took place , and a considerable quantity of arsenic was found therein ; Charles Ueisch , Esq ., of Llackheatb , a lecturer on chemntry at St Thomas ' s Hospital , said he had examined the stomach . Four medical practitioners had examined it , and expressed their conviction that a large quantity of poison had been taken . Thos . Hutching ? , aged 16 , eldest son of the deceased , deposed that his mother was pretty well at breakfast on Sunday ,-about nine o ' clock . His mother afterwards prepared the dinner , potatoes , batter-puddiuff ,
and [ beef . lie took it to the baker ' s , and all "dined oft it . His mother ata 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 at 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 up in a drawer up stairs ; was given him by an hostler , to kill cats and rats . His fowls had been killed by the cats—while areenic . The bottle was one-fourth ' filled . Had it two months ago . Always kept the drawer locked and the key in his pocket . Opened the drawer at seven o clock on Sunday evening , att was right as he left the bottle : had not opened the drawer for
a week . Had forgotten that his father had broken open the drawer on Sunday last . When he made the tea , he said he had broken open tha drawer , and took the stuff out , aad said that he thought his mother had taken something . This was ball-past five . His father broke the bottle and threw the contents into tha fire , and told kis little brother to put the bottle down the priyy . His mother did not kisow there waa poison iu the drawer . Ho never us-: d it . His father mixed it for the cats . Father kept the bottle one day a month ago , and gave it to him back again to lock up . Did not say why ho broke the bottle . Father had not beat mother ( era long time . Hutchings , the husband , was called in , and theecroner
informed li : m of the nature of the evidence that bad been given ; that arsenic was in the house in large quantities , but under lock and key , and that the deceased was taken ill before tho drawer was broken open , and having cautioned Uutchings that whatever he disclosed as to the dreadful affair would be taken down against him , and that he was not bound to Bay anything unless he did so voluntarily . Hutchings said he did not intend to make any statement at all . He was aa 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 , audinfornitd that he was Cutty committed to stand his trial for the serious charge ,

Gf fV I PUBLIC MEETIKG IN EBINSijRa Hi ' *•• • ¦ ' ¦ -: * -i £ . ; . - fw- . ; , . j * -,: { From the SorfkBtMtkltail . ) V ; A public meeting of th « Inhabitants of Edjatargii'was held in xhe RSv .

Mr A . Grin * , mmimng the . flrst . resolution , said he rejoiced to have' ait opportanltj of thanking the various constituencies roenfumedtohU rjsojotic * , who had aclod so nob Win tho c » usaof truth-and humanity . It was high time fhafthey wok freed from ( he restraints which class K'giflation had imposed . They had hitherto been denied tho privileges of men , but Ifliat Btate of thing * csuld n » t larig continue . ¦ Thocisese of the people was progressing , but they must ever keep in . view that tha only remedy was fTU » political representation ; this should ba their un-ievlntmg aim , for , until the people possessed thi < great engine of political power , they would ever toil in political slavery , ' He then read the resolution { seaadvertisement ) . . , . ¦ .-i ¦
Mr-J . MnsnET , -merchant , rose , amidst great cheenag , to second the resolution , and said , thU is the first meet . ifts ;< sf a politiual nature whio ' a has been held . in the city since the general elcotton . The question naturally arises , after snch a political < turn-up ; how do mailers now 6 tand in referenda to those principles , to which we are so earnestly and devotedly attached t <¦ I refer to a full , fair , and free representation of the people to Parliament . I feel happy to say that the upshot of the genural election has bctn ' a most successful Hit to the popular causa , inftet , two of tha md « remarkable relictions which have takeri place are especial * connected with tlniversalSuffrage nnd the Spparatian of Church and State . I allude to the Tower Hamlcts ^ and the'town of Nottingham , whore two' of the most powerful advocates
of bur principles have been returned , viz ., - ireorge Thompaauawl Feargus O'Connor . We have also to notice the return of the veteran Uuformtr , Colonel Thompson , for Bradford , and Mr 3 . Fox , the eloquent friend of freedom , for Oldham . (< Cheers . ) tver and above the successful return of those holding complete suffrage principles , many famous advocates of our causebave hud very respectable minorities , such as Mr Sturge , theftev . MrMialljMr E . Jotieajarid ' many others . ' All tuts is most ichcerlDg , and points to » time no * far distont when ' class legislation will come'to n « end , and ' when a principle shall be intraaueed into the government of the couritry , which / will give eqnal justlce te all . - ; Orio of the most hopeful signs of the times is , that all consistent Ditsenters have now cut cohhesion with tho-Whigs .
There is nowa spirit of union abroad amongst anti-state chnrchireh and suffragists . ' Such ha * already been the effect of theunited feelings , that'tha Whigs ami Tories have been necessitated to draw together at the late election ,-else the one party or the other would in a number of instances have been completely de f eated . Our power is now beginning to be felt at the polling-booth . ( Great applause . ) The eld hue " and cry of '; Don ' t divide the liberal interest , 'is now exploded , anil a sore intelligible one uttered by all enlightened '' men , and that one is , ' Wecannot see the difference between the Whies and the Tories at all ; and although even they have bare , facedly fraternised with each oilier , the Whig press has the audacity to put down on this list of Liberaf '' candidates the very men against whom the Whigs w ' owld unite
with the Tories in putting down . Can anything be more disgraceful and unprincipled ! - Bat what will men not do to support a sinlting cause ? A ' veryshort time , I hope , will open their ' eyes to the fact , that the foundation of a powerful party will eapn bs formed in tha House of Commons—unconnected either with Whig or Torywhich will adopt such means ^ br w | H turn int « a reality what is now in mockery termed tha | Kcoplu ' s HouBe ; Since we haVii got a few more , able anij zeaJous advocates of our principle ' s into tho njius ' e , I nope to see again in . traduced the planadoptodby that genuine patriot , Sharman Crawford , which , ' though unsuccessful at the time , is quite practicable and constitutional—to obstruct 'the votes of the supplies ' . ' until the grievances of the ptnple aro redressed . From tho little support which Shannon
Crawford had , either within or nithout the lloase . ho did not feel justified in pursuing further at the time bis lino of policy ; but he stated that he wlsUid it to bb dlstinctiy . understood that ' ho held himsflf 'psrfectly and entirely frae' to resume tUa con . test whenever circumstances should suggest the proper time . That time has now arrived . It has been well stated that all that is required to secure ultimate success to Mr Crawford ' s plan is tho return to parliament of a faw thoroughly sincere ' and [ devoted m ? n , who , united ia one firm phalanx , and backed by public opinion out of door * , may bo able iu spite of ministerial majorities , to bring to terms an aristocratic parliament , A few thoroughly sincere and devoted men have , bien returned to parliament , and should Mr Crawford ' s line
of policy bo again resumed , I tru 3 tthat Mr 0 Connor will do his duty , and that throughout tho country ] potitions will be pound into parliament in support of the democratic struggle . ( Great applause . ) . After alluding at some length to a passage in I ^ rd John Russell ' s speech , in reference to the election of Barou Rothschild , at the declaration of the poll , Mr Mushct said , ' ' I cannot sit down without congratulating jou on the defeat of Sir Macaulay . W . e will all admit his great historical knowledge , and great literary attainments ; we will all bow to his intellectual iiower aud eloquence , but he is net the true friend of political or religious freedom . ' Mr If . then qnoted an extract from a speech of Mr
Macaulaj ' s delivered when Sfaarman Cvavtfuid presented the People ' s Charter , iu which Mr Macauiay expressed his opposition to Universal Suffrage , because it would be destructive of the monarchy , and wac inconsistent with civil liberty , and ho had but ' one wish , and that was , if ever the people should force . Universal Suffrage , it might call into existence a military deVpo tism , which might serve to protect proporty . Mr Musbet 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 . ( Great applause . ) The chairman thou put the resolution , which was car-Tied unanimously . .
Mr J . Geant rose , amidst applause , and said , in a political point of view , we ; are met this evening under very favourable circumstances . The dark cloud which has hitherto been overshadowing us has been dispelled , in a great measure , by the noble manner in which the d < mocratic spirit of . Great Britain haB developed itself during the late elections . The great mass of the people , the unenfranchised . millions , are now beginning to assume that position in society which they are justly . entitled to occupy . The principles that wo advocate aro finding their way amongst tba upper c 1 r . sseB ef society , and this of itself is a good omen of success . Our canoe bra made rapid progress during the late election ; but while using every constitutional mean ? , to gain our object , let us show our opponents that we are determined not to | test satisfied until the principles contained in the . Charter become the law of the . fend . ( Great cheering . ) While
according our thanks to the electors of Great Britain far the manner in wbich they- have acted , 1 would especially call your attention to that noble band of patriots —tho Chartists of Nottingham—who have elected as their representative Mr Feurgus O'Connor—a geutlemsn who ha- ; advocated , our principles through good and through bad report , and who is as determined as evei-, if not more se , to use all his energies for the purpose of carrying out the principles contained in the Charter , Gecticmcn , cherishing theso feelings towards the Chartists ef Nottingham , I have great ptensure ia proposing for your adoption : the following address sb a token of respect to them for tho honour they havo conferred on every true democrat , and the efforts they have made to advance the cause of civil and religious liberty . ; Mi Grant then read the address which was sccondc-d , , in a very energetic speech , by Mr John Gockburn , and carried with great applause . . , ¦ ' . - ¦ . •''•

He had heard and read a great deal about ilr Macauiay . Ho had been termed by some of the news , papers a great statesman . Ho might be a great dcclamer , or a great orator , bat a great statesman \ ns generally . considered to be something » f a practical man . Who ever heard of Mr Macauiay beiu" a practical man
He had one charge against Mr Macauiay , and lie ' bad oone to Edinburgh for the purpose of making it . They would rcmembsr that about two j « ur 6 ago a petltioa was brought into the House of Commons , pleading that Mr Jobn Frost might be liberated ; ncd strange to say ; there was not one man lifted bis voice agaiest tho pstitiuii , but Mr Maosulay . He compared John Frost to a pickpocket . He said , distinctly , that wiien he considered , the . trcatment that pick-pocketg got , and the treatment which Frost and his companions had got , h « did not consider them fit objects of mercy .

This freo trade consists in 1 Id . a pound duly on Bngar . But this is Hot
all , say these Whigs . No , it 1 b not . The duty on Blave grown sugar and ( roe labour sugar , is to be equalised : ' Kow thfttis free trade , net im sugar , but in slaves . At one . and the same time , they keep a sqnaiiron to prevent the slave trade ; v / hlle , by their legislation , tliey do all they can to increase it . Maeaulay Is said to be a great philosopher , and Lord Johu , Borne say ,, is alittla onebut whoever beard of their philosophy ? 1 beg your pardon . ' Both have so niuch of cool phSlosopby about them , that they can fit comfortably at home toasting thoir toes at their own gresides ; the one writing lays of ancient Korae , and the other it may be writing the constitutional
history of those ancestors , whom politieally , he has disgraced ; while , by their legislative acts , thousomds and tens of thousands of poor ( Africans are torn from tluir fires and theh- homes , mid forced from all its pleasures , into ¦ '" hopeless ' andgalllng slavery . Such ,.

Sirllobertmnethaveliad aloni ? eye to the time when ho purposes coalescing with these , Whiglings .. ; irijthing , however , can more fully show the necessity of the people being fully , represented in the Commons House of Parliament . ' Had they been so
represented such dereliction of prmciple would there cease to be tfiuniphanil' All the great parties in ' that House pould ¦ ctrdially agree when they ' meant to rob the people . ' ' 'Witness the English Poor Law-Amendment Act . Beforo that caactmeut , England was one vast benefit society , , against sickness or want of work . When Lord Brougham was , out of work as a Lord Chancellor , £ 4 , 000 a year was not considered enough for him ., These legislators made it . 'fS . OOO ' ^ ' nhilejtliey forced the unempjoyed among meehanics , who migh ' t be ' in . want ef bread , to break up their homes , and ' go ¦ to workhouses , those modern basllle « of -Whig intention . - Tct theso statesmm ate ^ >' r ^ ' ¦ :- ¦ ¦ :: ¦ : ¦ / : ' ¦ .

' And oiruhheard the stream is flowing . ' ' ' i Such'demons are your Wki | i » . ( Great cheering . ) Equally tyrannical was thtirconduct to tbe poor of Scotland . When the « o Wbiga came to office , it was doubtful if , or rather it was supposed that , the poor of Scotland had no legal elaim to relief ., Some : benevolcnt individual brought tbe case of tome of . them ^ before Scotland's Sapreme Court .. It decided in favour of the poor . Immediately the Whigs issued a commission , and got a law passed by which the poor of Scotland were denied their right to apply tb ' Scotlohd ' s Supreme Court- for ' oec-dful tustennneo and - support , unless they first attained the
Banctton of a Whig central board at Eaintmrgh , of wklch the present truckling Lord'Provost of this place . is ono Nny , more when hundreds are dying , even in Edinburgh , of disease brought on by insufficient nourishment , where there is no coroner ' s Inquest . but where the Lord Advocato of Scotland is a sort of central coroner for that country . What doesThe do ! How " does he occupy himself 1 In bringing into parliament a bill to rsgfttor their deaths , and another to protectniusules . And'to show that his lordship had time to do as hechosei , he introduced » third bill to discourage murriage , nnd otherwise , encroach on tho rights of women ,-from / it . is presumed , ; some luTeditary dislike to tho fair sex , : ( Ucar ,. hcur . ) . Then look at the conduct of those . Whig legislators as to Ireland . Some years ago they . ' paused a poor law for Ireland , By
that low ho one coald obtain relief except in workhouses . When famine overtook Ireland , thf-re was no poor law , nor poor law machinery for out-door relief . The ' -poor hoases were so crowded ; : that in them , disease , fever , and death , were the consequences . ; while , out of . the poor-houses many wore , the thousands who died of famine and of want . The Irish nation , and that talented organ of tlie ; Irish , called the JS ' ation newspaper , ; charge Lord John Russell ' s ministry with the deaths of tvvo millions of Irish from famine or itr . consequences . But say from ono to" two millions : How horrid ! And what wob Mr Macanlay ' s'defence ' of himself and colleagues . He laid ; 'You always sec tho evil done , but not that prevented . They ( the ministry ) had saved from one and a half to t « o millions of human beings in Ireland , at an expense of
ten millions of pounds sterling ; and had the Ministers listened to the exorbitant demands of Irish Memberf , Britain would have been bankrupt . Now , what were those demands ? I presume , only to save all tbeir couctrjfmen ' who were perishing from want of food . Now , if ten million' pounds sterling saved one and a half to two millions of human beings , other ten millions sterling would havo -saved , tbe one and a ' half te two millions who perished from want of food , at an expense iu nil , according to Mr Macauiay , of only what was ek ' penned in somo four months of the last . war . Thi 6 surely would not have made Britain bankrupt . And as the Parliament never lcfusid a farthing which those Whig Members said was requested to rave tbe Irish frum starvation , on the heads of those Ministers rest the
grave ' responstbility of every deuth which cccurred from ' want in Ireland ; tlie' more especially as they ; had re . fused to provide for contingvueivs such as these , by Poor Laws affording oucdour relief from the produce of the land of Ireland , Yet some have the . assurance te call theso Whig Ministers , statesmen , ( Cheers , ) -Then look at . the Portuguese policy which Mr ^ H-jraey at Tiverton so ably expbfed . In Portugal , a cousin of Prince Albert , is King Consort , and the Ministers th ' ure appear to bocousius German to our Whig Ministers here . Tho King Consort Intrusted to command the army , and the Ministers : were lilto onr own , much afraid of the elections . So to please the first , and- ease the minds of the others ,- they abolished elections altogether , as also the press , allowing only the Government Gazette to
appear . Theyopenoil private letter ' s , made domiciliary visits at all times of the night as well as day , and filled the dungeons with political prisoners of all classes , abolishing at the Fame tiuie trial by J ury , and substituting that by court martial . The poor were more especially oppressed by a tax on salt , so necessary to health , and a ten shillings funeral' pall t « x on each corpse wbich its joor relations had to pay boforc they could consign it to the silent grave ; This last led to an insurrection in favour of their liberties and of their constitutional charter . Our Ministers did not later , fere till the freemen of Portugal were about to establish freedom and order there . Then pur Whig Ministry became alarmed least th «; Queen should be sent , abroad , and a republic . established ,. . Lord
John .. could not , he ; said , see these . things with indifference ,., and . as , we were bound by ancient treaty ] to protect tho soil of Portugal irom infa ' sion ; our WhigMinistsrsdeclircdtheir determination to cirry out tho provisions of this treaty by requesting Prance and Spain to enter Portugal with ourselves , to force'the Queen of Portugal ' s subjrets to lay down their arms , and thus leave them to her mercy ,. Ho doubt she promised to restore aud call together their ; Parliament , the , Cortes of Portugal ; . but when Lord John Russell was asked what guarantee he could give for the fulfilment of thoso . conditions , he replied her royal word . ' Tbe House of Commons 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 wiih tho tyrant of France , whose throne already totters , and the iniquity of whoso sceptre seems to bespeak the passing nature of its stray .. Bo much for Portugal , Lot us again return to the doings of those Whi g Ministers at home ,. Some centuries ago , all vraa darkness and ignorance alike in Britain and tho world at largo . These are well and appropriately : called the dark ages of this world ' s history . That was the timeB Of priests and kings . ' Tho former ruled tbe winds , while the latter tyraniscd over tho bodies of meu . i : 8 carcely any but too higher classes could read , while the bible was alBo hidden from the peoplo in a dead language ,
Tho vast mass of the people could not read , and on matters of rcHgion'wero not ullowed to tfeiuk , but f > s the church , i . e . ihe pope and soai . e of tbe ' superior clergy should dictate , while with politics / they , . had nothing t do but to 6 uba > it to the divine light of ktegs to govern the peoplo .

MURDER OF THE ' CAPTAIN AND PART OF THE GREW OFAN ENGLISH VESSEL . Tho Avon , Captain John Eaton , proceeded from Liverpool to Patagonia , in search of minerals . She arrived at her destination about e ght months ago , and has had , since ihen , frequent and friendly cnnimunication with the Indians who occupy the regions touched at . Whcu iu the bay known by the English ' as Watchman Capo , : ind which Is in the 4 Sth degree of Sjuth latitude , Captain baton made a contract to carry some cargo further south . Ou his way to the point agreed on ho 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 irtercourso with the Indians of t ho right or southern bank of that river . On the 13 th of May last one of the . saUurs , who had gone on
shore fur the purpose of arranging the purchase of some horsea , made signal for the boat to he tent to him . Captain Eaton went in person and entered into communication with ' the Indians of tho left bank ; who , although they had formerly shonn themselves less well disposed than those of the ri ght , received him , nevertheless , in a friendly manner and even requested to be allowed to go onboard . Fire of them accordingly accompanied the captain . In the meantime , Mr Randall , the mate ; James Daniels / steward ; James Mulliri , and John Steward , seamen : and James Watson , an apprentice , went ashore in the launch , taking with them some u&ele 6 s lorses . to change , them for others . The captain hading that , they dehyed a long time , shouted from the ship ; no answer being madehe fired off a pistol
, to call their attention , but no one appeared . Then one of the Indians oa board spoke in his own language to those on shore , and immediately afterwards the Bailors . were seen'running into the water , a - tompting to escape from iho Indians . The mate ( Randall ) and a sailor were drowned , another sailor was killed by a shot from the Indians , and the remaining three were carried off prisoners . While this was passing on the coast , tho five Indians on board suddenly attacked the rest of the people , consisting of six men , iaeluding the captain . They killed the latter , in a most barbarous manner , wounded the second mate , Georijo Wright , in the back , threw overboard Mr William Douglas , the freighter of the vessel , and' another person , both of whom they afterwards picked up at sen , whentloy
had killed the captain .: The second mate and the rest of the aailors then defended themselves . The Indians became pacifid , saying , in bad Spanish , mixed with worse . English , that they would not kill the good sailors .. ' ilarinero bano no killed , ' aro their words , as entered in the lo * -book . Soon after several Indians came in a launch , steered by one of tbe captured sailors . They plundered the ship , giving the preference to articles of brass over everything else , even before gold and silver . The captain ' s body they tbrew into tho sea , horribly mutilated , with the head almost severed from the trunk . They carried off Mr . Douglas , and left , behind them on board ten . or a dcz ; n of their own people . On the following day they returned in thc , boat , managed by the sailers , their prisoners . The current eavried them away some distance from the . Avon . They mide tho shore agaiu . and again pushed for the Oi ' m
which they'reached .- They took off everythin g that had been collected by : the ; Indians , which they had ltft on board the day bafore ; made the sailors . ' oonveytheraouaUovein tho 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 ^ seizod from- the be ginning . The sailors having returned on board , put to sea for . this pot . The second mate ( Wright ) , who has come in cominand of the vessel , is cured of his wound . Such , are the particulars which appear in the log look . Tho regularity of the statement , and the further dctails which we have heard from a competent person who examined the people on board , leave us no roi-m to suspect thoir exactness , much less since they affirm that Mr Douglas and three men are alive with the Indians . w
