LC ., at 5 b . 8 , Upper Cumberland-stieet , Marylebone . The deceased , who was in his 66 th year , and had seen much service , invited a large dinner and evening party on last Wednesday , in celebration of her Majesty ' s birthday . Some of the company had arrived , and the gallant general was in the act of giving orders respecting the wine to the butler , -when he fell insensible to the ground : Dr . Edwards was in immediate attendance / but all efforts to save life were unavailing . Upon an autopsy of the body being made , nine ounces of clotted blood were found in the region of the heart The kidneys also were diseased . Verdict— " Deceased died of disease of the heart . "
Suicide of a Tradesman . —On Saturday last Mr . Payne held an inquest at the George , Gracechnrcbstreer , on view of the body of William Hunter , poulterer , ' -who committed suicide under the following melancholy circumstances : _—Jariies fates , late in the deceased's service , stated that be found the deceased on tbe previous morning suspended by a cord "from thef balustrades in the house where be carried on business , in Ship Tavern-passage , Leadenhall-market . Deceased was quite dead .
About half-past six o ' clock—an hour before be was discovered by witness-be came from Hoxton ; where he resided . —Peter Davey , deceased ' s clerk , said that on -Thursday morning the deceased received a letter from Mr . Watt , solicitor to Mr . Friek ' er , poultry salesman , _LeadjnhaU-market , to whom he ( deceased ) was indebted a sum of £ 147 15 s . 5 d ., requesting that he would pay the amount by two o'clock the following day , adding that Other proceedings would be taken if it was not . Witness found that letter On the deceased ' s table
_after'the body -was discovered . —Other evidence being / given , showing that the deceased was in pecuniary difficulties , the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity . " L Fire' asd Loss of Life . —On Saturday afternoon last tbe neighbourhood of Tooley-street , _Southward ; was painfully excited owing to a fire , which , unfortunately , was attended with a loss of life , breaking ont in the private residence of Mr . H . Bono- ; _$ o . 11 , Brook-square , in the before mentioned street . The cause of this fire has been
satisfactorily traced to a spark flying from the grate in ihe first floor front , and settings quantity of wearing apparel in flames . At that period a boy about four years of age , unfortunately happened to be in ihe room , and before he could run away , the flames encireled his body , and he fell in the midst of them . Several persons , on seeing the smoke issuing from ihe window , and bearing the screams ofthe poor child ,-rushed up to render assistance ; but although they succeeded in confining the fire to the part of the house in which it commenced , the child was burned almost to a cinder .
Tub Alleged Cnru > Murders at _Whitechapel —On Saturday afternoon last an inquest on Elizabeth Barker ' s child was commenced by Mr . Baker , the coroner for Middlesex , at the Golden Lion , Cannon-street , Commercial-road , East . —Mr . Tubs . Meares , Brick-lane , surgeon , said he should judge that the child bad lived two or three days . The face was livid , and tbe tongue protruded from the mouth , and , on examining tbe front" of the throat , he observed distinct marks of pressure , as if from the finger and thumb . Those marks would be
_sufficient to account for death in a child so young , but he would not undertake tb say that death was so caused . The lungs were slightly congested , and contained a frothy mucus , and bri opening tbe head he found extravasated blood pressing on the substance of the brain , arid the brain'generally injected with blood . These symptoms , taken , altoge ther , do not distinctly account for the " mode , of death ; but in his judgment it arose from suffocation ; at the same tune , it was quite possible for death to have arisen from natural causes . The stomach and
a portion of tbe intestines were in the bands of Dr . Letheby , of the London Hospital , for analysis . Dr . Letheby informed the coroner that he Lid not bad sufficient time to make a complete analysation , but he had seen sufficient to say there was opium in the stomach . - At this stage of tbe proceedings the jury generally expressed a wish to hear the evidence of Mrs . Campbell , the midwife , who is in the custody of the police as an accessory to tbe murder . —Tbe Coroner observed he could not enforce the attendance of this party under the circumstances . AU he coald do was to write to Sir Georee Grev .
ex-Elaming the circumstances to him , and very likely e might direct tbe police to bring her before them at theu * next meeting . —The inquiry was" then adjourned . Inthe course of the afternoon , Harriet Campbell was brought up on a remand , "before Mr Yardley , at the Thames Police-office , charged with being concerned , with three others nowin theHeuse of Detention , with the wilful . murder of an infant child .. Mr . Yardley , after , an interview with Dr Godfrey , as to the result of the post mortem examination of the body , refused to take bail for the prisoners re-appearance , and she was accordingly remanded .
Death op Captain _WmrnxonAM . —Late on Monday afternoon a fatal accident befel Captain Henry Whittingham , of tbe merchant service " many years engaged in Baron Rothschild' s shipping , and for upwards of a quarter Of a century in the service of the General Steam Navigation Company . ' This unfortunate gentleman , it appears , had been transacting some business on Monday , at the company's offices , ia Lombard-street , and was on bis way borne between four and five o ' clock . On arriving at Thornton street ,, _Bermondsey , his foot slipped off the kerb-stone , and he pitched . forward on to the carriage way . At the very moment a heavily laden waggon , drawn , by tour horses , was passing , and , before there was time for the unfortunate gentleman to roU himself out of the way , the ponderous
_waggonpaseed over ma body . The dnver , it seems , was at the head : of tbe leading horse , and was unconscious « f the accident till the shrieks of the unhappy ; man apprised him of what had occurred . Medical aid was instantly obtained , but the fearful wjuries . _CaptainjWbittingharo sustained rendered Bis ease hopeless , arid he expired a iew minutes after the accident .

Murder At Newport,.. Gloucestershire.— B...
Murder at Newport ,.. Gloucestershire . — Bbbkelet , Mat 17 . —The Coroner for the . eastern division of Gloucester , Mr . W . J- Ellis , was engaged the whole of this day , in examining into the circumstances whereby Mr . Daniel Knight , a small farmer , residing at Woodford , near Newport , came byjiis death . It appears that for many years past a benefit club has been held at the Crown Inn , Newport , near Berkeley and the anniversary of the society , according to ancient custom , was celebrated on Monday last , and the , festivities . were -protracted till , a late hour , not only at the Crown , but at theWhite Hart , and other inns in the immediate vicinity , a band
being engaged and dancing kept up with much vivacity . The unfortunate deceased , it seems , had an idiot daughter , named Elizabeth Knight , who formed one ofthe dancing party , and' notwithstanding the warning ofher father ,. ( bathe wished her to be at home , she persisted in remaining .: At a late hour her father went for ber , and took her forcibly away , and , cot contented with her quitting the company , he inflicted summary chastisement upon her by correcting her with a . whip . This act , it appears , was witnessed by three men , named Wm . Fethery , John Nelmes alias Newman , and Wm . Lovell , who ,: being exasperated by having drank a quantity of beer . in the course ofthe day , waylaid Knight , and beat bim most unmercifully about the head , leaving bim in ' a perfectly insensible condition , in which state he was subsequently found by the Berkeley police . Hisskutl
was completely fractured , andalthoagh he lingered till Wednesday he was not able to articulate a distinct syllable .. ' The surgeon , Mr . John Hicks , who made a post mortem examination of the body , clearly _, proved that death resulted from the wounds on the bead of tbe deceased ; there was a great quantity of extravasated blood . After a short deliberation , the jury retained a verdict of " Manslaughter against the three prisoners , " and tbey were committed to take their trial at the next Gloucestershire assizes . , Sodden Death of a Clergyman . —The Rev . Mr . France , of _Cockerhilhnear Ashton-under Lyne , died very suddenly on the 17 th inst . ; while attending tbe Archdeacon ' _g visitation in that town . A dispute of longstanding with his parishioners was decided by tbe Archdeaon in his favour . __ The instant after the Archdeacon bad announced his decision Mr . France
sank down on the floor of the church , and expired before any assistance could be obtained . The court was abruptly closed , and a surgeon sent for , but too late . The cause of death is supposed to have been apoplexy . , - : _' r The Forgery at Liverpool . — Mr . William Threlfall , who was lately arrested on the charge of extensive forgery , has been made a bankrupt . ' -A messenger from the Leeds Bankruptcy Court appeared before Mr . Rusbton on Thursday week last , and demanded that-all moneys and other property found on the prisoner should be given up to hint ( the messenger ) , which was accordingly done . ' He then proceeded to the Bank of Liverpool , to get from Mr . Lanrton any property in his possession which had
been found on the prisoner . . _IscENDttBr Fires in Dorsetshire . —The village of Winfrith and tbe neighbouring hamlet of West Burton were thrown into a state of much anxiety aud alarm by three incendiary fires , which took place consecutively on Thursday , Friday , and Saturday nights last . Tbe first- was a large dairyhouse and premises , near the Red Lion Inn , Winfrith , occupied by the dairyman of Mr . W . J . Reader , which was discovered to be on fire about four o ' clock on Thursday morning , aud tbe dairyman , his wife , and son bad barely time-to escape before the whole premises were in flames ; very few ' ofthe household goods were saved , and but for the" prompt exertions of the neighbours it is probable the opposite and
surrounding premises could not have escaped . —On I riday night , about twelve o ' clock , the cottage and premises occupied by the policeman , Forsey , who has been indefatigable in tbe execution of his dudes , were set on fire , and the room in which he and his wife slept was nearly surrounded by flames before tbey . were aroused by persons from without ,- and the whole of the premises were in a short time in a heap of ruins . —On Saturday night , about eleven o ' clock , a hay rick belonging to Mr . Hopkins ( whose house and pre . mises were only separated from the policeman's cottage by the turnpike road ) , was also set on fire arid consumed .- The premises above destroyed , in both cases , belonged to Joseph Weld , Esq ., of Lulworth Castle , in tbe occupation of bis tenants . On
Saturday , in consequence of some reports which bad been circulated respecting the abovenamed policeman ' s cottage , two idle characters of Winfrith , named Brine and Bowring , were apprehended and taken to Wareham , where they were kept in custody until Monday , ' when tbe Rev . G ; P ; Cambridge attended ; and it appeared from the evidence of Robert Trent , that on ' his return' from" Weymouth 'da Fridajr night , and whilst taking his supper , his ' son ran in and gave the alarm of fire , upon which he immediately ran across the heath towards the village of West Knighton , believing it to be Mr . Hopkins ' s premiies which were on fire . Ashe was approaching be saw two men running away from the fire , - andwhose persons were distinctly seen between him and the glare of light , which was momentarily increasing . Believing at
first that they must be tramps , and bad fired the premises , he made towards them ; on coming up with them he knew and . accosted one of the party with " Holloa , George , what beyou doing here ; don ' t you see thereis a fire ? " ; Upon which _thty . ' replied that they did hot , and appeared as it they would still goon . Tbiswastalkedofthenextday , and led to their apprehension ; previous to which , some foot marks leading over the garden' hedge to the precise spot where the fire broke dut , and others again going the same way back , were carefully , preserved , and upon the capture of the suspected parties the marks were found to correspond exactly with their boots . _Fromtnis and other evidence which came out'in the examination , they were both committed for . trial at the "" assizes , for _havicg wilfully set fire to the house of the policeman .
Effects of _Negleciing Vaccination . —The Liverpool / _wrnor states' that serious ravages were making by the small pox amongst a vast number of children in and about _^ t . Helen's . It is attributed to some objections raised against the sj ' stem by nearly all the mothers , who declined having , them vaccinated ; so muck so ' _thaij during the last season / comparatively speaking , very few children were vaccinated by those appointed for that purpose . It has been asserted that there were , a few days ago , some _^ f _^ children dead in one street in St . Helen ' s . A Man pvERBdARD . —On Suaday afternbon , a marme , named Crawford , belorigihg to tbe Victoria and Albert royal yacht , in' _-Portomonth harbour , whue under Iheinfluenceof drink , jumped overboard from the Royal George , hulk to the yacht , and bad twice

The decided superiority " ofthe Hygeian system of medicine to all . ordinary medical practice has been receatlj tested in our neighbourhood , the particulars of which I feel bound to communicate to you . We have lately bees _vjsitedwith a fatal disease termed by our dectors typhis fever—and the name of the disease appears to be all thej know about it ; for all the patients they took in hand were soon hurried to the long home . Among others who fell victims to this dreadful disease was a Mr . Peter Kelly , » gd
twenty-two ; a Miss Mary Musgrave , a blooming young lady of nineteen ; and , 1 have proof that tlie first doctor employedinthis case after administering medicine , and Wisterias and Weeding toercess _, declared he bad mistaken Jierdisorder ! however , they soon sent her to her account among them . Another who submitted herself to the _doctors treatment , was a Mrs . M'Kay , a young married woman , aged twenty-one , having one child . She too , poor young thing ,-was soon hurried to the grave . People now began to get out of conceit of the doctors , and the following individuals placed themselves in my hands to be tmtei with tlie Hygeian medicines of Mr . Morison ; and under the blessing of God the -success of your medicines , gentlemen , has , in the whole of these cases , been satisfactory in a high degree ) , for all my patientshave been thoroughly restored t » health : ..... .. ...

It carried off five members in . one family near Sidney , and the doctors there neither Knew the name of the disease or how to cure it .
I shall only add that I rejoice to know that tho system and medicine of the late venerable James _Moriaw _&« firmly established , and that tbe honest people who signee the petition to parliament against the use , and sale oi doctors' poisons are to have their names recorded ; _andlteei pridein the reflection that I have done my duty in »» cause on this side the Atlantic , and have ten children _au thoroughly impressed with the soundnessof the Jlorisomaa theory .-Should I Uvea few days longer 1 shall be sixtyfive years of age , and I have taken , in' my time 18 , 9- >> 0 I your pills ; but during . thd past four years Ihaveuot _tuKen as many in twelve monthB as I formerl y tookia one , noritt one month as many as I formerly took in one day ; lam .
