Vc purpose to give , in the first place , an outline , f Mr . Mizzixf s revelations , reserving any lengthy fliinicntswciuayfeel called upon to make , for the So < e . The pamphlet , or " letter" to Sir Jjuies , j ens as follows : — 1 thank you much for having afforded me the long de-¦ & opportunity , to lay In-fore afree nation , full ofgene ^ oUs instincts , the sorrows of a brave , unhappy , misun . JrTftu ^ d people—to depose at its bar the complaints of muiv or twentr-two millions of men , whose fathers faded tlic march of civilisation in Europe , and who depond fur themselves and that same Europe to be made ptakers of the large , free , active , and continually prop » sive life wliicli God lias ordained for his creatures . I ' . y the spiritual and temporal , the domestic and foreign [•^¦ ressions that lie heavy upon them , —they are to-day jrjrived of all liberty of thought , of speech , and of srtiOll . You , Sir , so far as in you lay , have aggravated our mi .
Uj . jiv jiosiuon . VJitii tod opened my correspondence at the desire of pie or several of our governments , you scattered genns t 3 mistrust in tlie heart of our youth—you proved to them slat the Union of the Governments against us is comjl-. , —you destroyed ike prestige which in their eyes at-U&iA itself to the respected name of England . Mr . Mazzixi proceeds to say that the faithless acts ( , u 5 ie English minister has naturally sown mistrust in die breasts of his countrymen towards England , ^ Laving been too ready to confound the English uW'iiwitli the English Government . One object , jUreforc , of 3 Ir . JUizzm ' s pamphlet is to disabuse tlemiuds of his countrymen of this pernicious error . Be great object , however , of this pamphlet is to exliat the actual state of Italy , and thereby show that lie seal-breaking enormities of the English minister jslos a wrong done to Mr . Mazzixi , less a stain upon
flrflionour of the English name , than it is a crime p-nmiittcd against a people numbering millions of Iranian beings ; that in that consists principally the awrnilty of Sir James Giuium ' s acts , lie sees a icqifc "deprived of all liberty of thought , of speech , aiidofactioa , " aud hcleuds his aid to " aggravate that j-o V . es position ; * ' ranging England " on the side of lie oppressor against the oppressed , —on the side of tie csi-eutioner against the victim , —raising her fair standard in thescrvice of despotism , and substituting for tlie national motto Jtd yious and Political Liberty fV tk v . Me world , liberty for us , Tyranny for all tlie z-Ai l-eside . " This , says Mr . Mazzixi , is the actual laraniiijr , iutcnt , and result of Sir James Giuuam ' s inaiLcry . And the great question to be decided is , ukiuer the English people will submit to be made jarticijianU in the unholy gigantic " crime of perpeastiiig the present state of things iu Italy . Mr .
Jlazixisays : — > ' ,. »¦ that we arc ouee warned , it matters little to us fUilivr you optu our letters or not : either we shall write idiiug that can compromise our poor friends , or else we £ 3 not transmit them by the post : that which it does < . svni ns more nearly to know , is , whether in her efforts s ;! iu the struggle which is preparing , Italy is to count = a one enemy more . It signifies little to the country vah you represent—or ratlin- which 1 trust you do not i-jrotnt—whether you have usurped oae illegitimate j-: u * CTtive wore or ltss ; if uprightness be not in jour Ion or in jour political tundtneies , you would alums j ' . iitfs sufficient power to do ill ; but that which it does u-2 reru tliis country to know is to ascertain whither it is 1 < 3 £ iid : it must bo iiredsely informed upon tlie prinrq . ! cs vi your internati onal policy—it behoves it to take ret that Government does not prostitute its name to dijt-3-. aia-ar diancdlcrks nor consign i t to the maledictions of lit ui .. diers of Italy , or the contempt of brave men who rasfcr fur well doing .
Mr . "M azzixi next reviews the remarkable leelarali'ii « f the Duke of Wellington iu the House of ! L « n ! s , on the 4 th of July , 1844 . When apologising j ii'fil : i' ! ' - " 7 ' a ) H < wc practised towards Mr . Mazzisi , he ' w * ryeu : — " It is the proud distinction of the policy ] ffiii's country that our object and our interest is » 'i only to remain at peace ourselves with the whole I wurid , but to maintain peace throughout the world ; KfJ u-l-nmote the mdqxiulaice , tin security , and tlie l-r-jfiriin of every country in tlie world" Mr . Maz-E - \! aeeents this as the definition of the foreign policr w" Kusland ; all he demands is that that policy sliaU It faiihfully carried out , that it shall be exkibited in Hk vital acts of the Government , and not be nullified ami violated bv those acts . If the policv of
Lidaud be the maintenance of " peace throughout lit world , " Italy is part—and by no means an iusigimkiiii part of the world , —let Italy have , then , guarraiiUrd to her , peace ; let her be saved from the tQ-vicss war of the spoiler , and the devastating arifv which oppression excites . If the policy of Inland be the maintenance of the " independence " « nations , Italy is a nation—a nation in her geojra ; -iiy , her history , her arts , her commerce her lauiuagc , her religion—and all the vile Vienna pacts iiat ever have been , or ever may be , will fail to efface her nationality . Let England , then , insist upon % iv-organisation of that nationality . If the policy « England be the maintenance of the " security and a i > trity of every country in the world , " letEngliave rewird for the seeuritv and prosperity of
Ital y;—at present her security is that of the chained taiaive , her prosperity is evidenced only by the exatii » Ms of her plunderers . Were the foreign policy < £ England ,: « defined by the Duke of Wellington , faithfully carried out , Italv would indeed be " inde-KuJciit , " " secure , " " prosperous , " and at " peace ;" aud . Mr . Mazzixi would not be a wanderer in the turn of the stranger . But that policy is not acted BlHiu . England—or rather , England ' s Government , aues with the powerful against the weak , with the wrong-doer against the wronged , conniving at , and aiding iu the destruction of a " nation ' s " peace , " " independence , " " security , " and " prosperity ;"under such circumstances the foreign policy of the English Government is made an " organised hypocrisy , " and Welux « tos ' s words become " amock crv a delusion , anu a snare . "
I 5 ut we shall let Mr . Mazzixi , in his own eloquent language , speak for himself aud his country . Commenting on Weujxgiox ' s speech , he remarks : I am only astonished that in the midst of Parliament where these words were uttered , no one arose amongst all tk-je who have recently travelled this Italy , or who study iicr liistory were it only in the journals—to say to him : "Security ! jieacc ! independence ! my lord ! that is I'ft «> dy what the man is seeking for his country * l «> se correspondence your colleagues have violated •—it is what was sought by those men who were slot some menths since in Calabria , possibly in CMue' jutnce of this violation . —There is no security txcrpt under laws , under wise laws voted by the best ram , sareUo ncd by the love of the people ; and there la

THE GAME LAWS —CRIMES OF THE LANDLORDS . We this week give a few paragraphs illustrative of the deplorable evils of the present system of land-Mding , affording additional proof of the necessity of a radical and a speedy change : — The Game Laws is Cornwall . —Attempted Mcn-DEit nr a Gamekeeper . —On Saturday last , the 12 th instant , between four and five o ' clock , the town of Camborn was thrown into great consternation by a report that a young man had been shot by the gamekeeper of the Right Hon . Lady Basset , of Tehidypark , the seat of tlie late Lord De DunstanvHl . Tile report proved to be too true . The particulars are as follows : —On the Saturday in question two young men , by the names of Ilenvy Treglown and * John
Pascec , went to the cliffs , about two miles from the town , with a gun each . They had shot a rabbit , and were returning home , wlien just on the common above the cliff they perceived three men , one of whom they knew to be the gamekeeper—he coming one way and the two other men coming the other . Treglown aud Pascoc then made off from the keeper towards the two men , who proved to be in the employ of the keeper , and who took hold of the young men immediately , saying that they should go into Tchidy . This the young men refused to do , and a scuffle ensued . The keeper now came up , and began beating Treglown with a life-preserver , which made him scream "Murder ! " " Murder ! " several times . Treglown not being able to stand this any longer , aiui . no doubt , being exasperated , succeeded in taking the weanon
from the constable , which he put into his own pocket , and immediately went to the assistance of his comrade Pascoe , who was contending with the other two men . Treglown ' s gun by this time was broken to pieces , and . Paseoe ' s was lying on the ground in a broken state also . This the keeper attempted to get possession of , but Treglown caught it np , when the keeper again attacked him , and the gun , that Treglown had , accidentally discharged , and flew out of his hand . One of the keeper ' s men exclaimed "Fire : " the keeper stepped back , put his gun to his shoulder , took his aim , and discharged it at Treglown , who fell to the ground , bleeding profusely from a wound in his side , and blood running from his mouth , which nearly choked him . He asked the keeper to get him a drop of water to drink , when
the brute replied , " where the devil do you think I am going to get water from ? " although not more than one hundred yards from a cottage . After the keeper had shot Treglown , not being satisfied with that , he proceeded to rifle the young man ' s pocket ! Treglown , when he heard the man exclaim , " Fire , " and saw tlie keeper step back to take aim , said , " For God ' s sake don ' t murder me : if you are going to fire , fire at my legs ; " but the heartless villain discharged the contents of his gun in tlie poor fellow ' s side , shooting away a piece of his coat , waistcoat , and making a hole in the waistband of his trousers , just halfway between the fore-brace button and the hind one . The doctor told me he took out of the wound a piece of his shirt , jacket , &c . He is still alive , but not expected to live , a great part of the
charge having entered his lungs . 1 ought to have stated , that it was a public thoroughfare , on a common , and notinany game preserves , or within a private enclosure where the youngmen were when attacked by the keeper and his men . It was some time before the ruffians would allow the young man , Pascoe , to leave the common to inform his friends of the circumstance , although Treglown , when bleeding on the ground , said , " My dear Jack , go and tell my mother that I am shot , and am here dying , that I am murdered . " The young man was brought home iu a cart about half-past seven in the morning , belonging to a poor man who was passing at tlie time noing lor sea-weed . What is worse than all is , ( that no magistrate is as yet to be found who will attend to take the poor fellow ' s
depositions , or grant a warrant . to take the keeper into custody to answer for his conduct , although the young man is thought to be dying . The rural blues of this place have taken Pascoe , and have kept him nil night and to-day , and will keep him also to-night , without a summons or warrant , but will not have anything to do with the murderer without a warrant , Jind when asked what authority he had to keep Pascoe , said he was ordered to do so by a magistrate , but had no warrant . So much for the despotism of Camborn . 0 ! but that we had the Miners' Attorney-General with us ! The above particulars may be relied on , I having had them from the dying man himself , at intervals as he could speak . — Corrctpondcnt . —Camborn . July 13 th .
Bath . —Ejectmext of Texants . —A certain Lord ( Powlctt ) , son ; of the noble Duke ( Cleveland ) , has given notice through his agent to about 200 tenants to quit his premises , situated in the Villa Fields , in Bath , because a few , about thirty , have been guilty of the crime of sub-letting . Thus 200 families are to be ejected , because a few have found it convenient to remove to another part of the town , and sub-let their tenements . The general belief , however , is tlmt these ejectments arc intended as a means towards raising the rents , and thereby secure a vote to each tenant , as it is believed the " noble lord" will contest the representation of Bath at the next election . Many of the tenants state they will not quit unless compelled by force . To each tenement there is attached a little land , and the occupiers have been at great trouble and expense in stocking and improving the ground ; to deprive them of their tenements , therefore , without compensation , is robbery . —Correspondent .
Infamous Case . —A few weeks ago a poor man named John Rose was charged before the magistrates of thcEglwm division of the county of Surrey , with having cut sonie grass , " of the value of Id ., " growing by the side of a ditch on the farm of Mr . Lane . He was convicted of having done damage to the extent of four farthings , which he was ordered to pay , together with costs , amounting to upwards of 150 times that sum , the expenses being 13 s . 6 d . ! The defendant had a fortnight allowed him to raise the amount of the costs , and in default he was ordered to be committed to prison for three weeks ! Land and Game . —In Scotland , it is said , fourteen millions of acres are dedicated to the support of game . "—Brighton Gazette .
Fourteen millions of acres " dedicated" to the support of game in one small portion of the united kingdom ! and this whilst men , particularly the Scotch , are enticed into the wilds and swamps of America , under the pretext that there is not room for them at home—that " nature ' s table is full , " and that there is no room for more . Fourteen millions of acres dedicated to the support of game , whilst man cannot obtain a few acres on which to employ his labour for the support of himself and family , or to contribute towards the defence of his country and maintenance of tlie Crown ! Fourteen millions of acres dedicated te the support of wild and comparatively useless animals , whilst thousands of human beings—men , women , and childrenare driven to the coast to exist like savages on shell-fish , and where , if a man aud woman

The Murder of Mr . Palmer and the Crew of tiie WAsr . —Fourth Day . —Friday . —The magistrates having ' taken their seats on the bench , the examination was resumed by Mr . Eastlake callin ;; Soberino dc Costo , an African slave , born in the vicinity of Lagos , who , being questioned as to his age , said he could not exactly tell how old he was , because he was sold as a slave when young , and taken from Onin , on the coast of Africa , ' and sentto Behina . He was supposed to be about 27 years of age ; bein ;; asked about his faith in a God , ami what he worshipped , lie replied that he formerl y worshipped images , asis the custom of his country ; and on bein * further questioned as to the punishment ' which awaits those w ! io do not speak the truth , he said "ll
I speak the truth 1 shall go to Heaven where God is , and if I do not speak the truth , I shall go to a place ' of torment ; " and on being shown the Bible , and asked if he had ever seen or read the book , he replied " No . Imt had seen people reading it at church at Bcliina . " After a short consultation he was sworn on the Catholic Scripture , which , after he had kissed it , hepressed warmly to his heart , anil said that he believed that the oath was binding on him to tell the truth ol what lie had seen and heard . His evidence confirmed Cuqurerio ' s , though he was not an eye witness of the massacre being below deck at the time . Lieut . It . D . Stupart , li . N ., was thcn . recallcd , and stated that there was one seaman belonging to the Wasp , and who was put on board the Fclicitade , missins . whom he
had not mentioned in his former evidence , named George Godding , making 'ten altogether , Including Mr . Palmer , the midshipman : Mr . Eastlake said , he had no further evidence to offer , and would at once ask the bench to commit the prisoners to the next Devon County Assizes , for the murder of Mr . Palmer , and the men under his command . Although the bench might not be satisfied that the prisoners had caused the deaths of the two kroomen , they having swam towards tlie shore—a possible , though not very probable chance of their being still aliveyet there could not be the slightest question but that quite enough had been proved with respect to the killing of the Englishmen to justify the committal of the prisoners for trial . The prisonors were asked , through the interpreter , if they had anything to say . Serva said , all he knew was , that he was very ill , and would like to bo . cured . Marjoural asked permission to write a letter to his parents , who lived at
Barcelona , and we understand from the interpreter that he was very respectably connected , his father being a merchant resident in that city . The request was complied with , all the prisoners being told that they might write letters if they pleased , but whatever was written must be first shown to the authorities . The witnesses being called into court , the names of the prisoners were called over , and they wore informed by the mayor that they stood committed to the next county assizes , there to be tried for the wilful murder upon the high seas of Thomas Palmer , a midshipman ; James Mullens , James Mite ! e'l , Edward Marshall , George Godding , and Thomas Barfoot , able seamen ; James Beynon , an ordinary seaman ; Thomas Good , a private marine—all belonging to" her . Majesty ' s sloop of war Wasp , off Lagos , on tlic coast of Africa . The three approvers , as the witnesses have been termed , will , it is understood , remain on board her Majesty ' s ship San Josef until the trial shall take place .
Dreadful Murder in Cornwall . —The inhabitants of Peuzance , Cornwall , were horrified on Tuesday week by a most appalling murder . The unfortunate victim was Elizabeth Seaman , aged 47 , who had cohabited for two years with a man named Benjamin Ellison , aged CO . On Monday forenoon they were seen together , looking at a procession formed to lay the foundation of a new pier at Penziince . In the evening , Ellison , who was a teetotaller ( as was also the deceased ) , went to the Temperance Hotel , in Prince ' s-strcet , and asked Mr . Thomas , the landlord , if he could have a bed there ( which he had never done before ) , giving as his reason for his desire to sleep there , that Mrs . Seaman putting some things together , to remove , and it being then late , he did
not like to go home . He then asked to see a Mr . William Eddy , who was in the house , and after some conversation with him went to bed . On the following morning about nine o ' clock , it appears he was at his residence in lloscvean-road ; about that time he went to a neighbour , Mrs . Hill , and asked her to go with him into his house . She complied with this request ; and proceeding through the back entrance to Ellison ' s house , ho said he had been out all night , and on coming home he found that poor Mrs . Seaman was killed . They went into the house , and Mrs . Hill saw the body of Mrs . Seaman lying on the kitchen floor , on her back , her face being covered with a piece of black gajzo . On leaving the house at the back , Ellison called Mrs . Hill ' s attention to a
broken pane in the window of the back kitchen , and said some person must have broken the window and got in and killed Mrs . Seaman . He then said he would go for a policeman . He went back to the Temperance Hotel , and said to the landlord , " Poor Mrs . Seaman is murdered ; some one , last night , broke into the house and murdered her . " He added , "I am ruined in consequence ; for I had some expectations , as you know . " He then asked the landlord to go with him to Mr . Game ' s , a magistrate , and get the police to try to take the person who committed the act . They went to Mr . Carne ' s , and afterwards to the mayor ' s , whence , it appears , the policeman'followed them back to the Temperance Hotel , and afterwards felt it his duty to apprehend
Ellison on suspicion of being the murderer ; and at an inquest held the same day a verdict of Wilful murder against Ellison was returned ; and he was committed . The unfortunate woman had ovidently struggled with her murderer ; the cuts and bruises about the head , hands , and chest showed that she had defended herself courageously . Her whole bust was almost one mass of livid bruises ; while there was a terrible fracture of the back part of her head . The floor was saturated In parts with blood , and large spots of blood marked the wall . In the little back kitchen was afterwards found a hatchet , the handle of which was covered with blood . ' Mrs .
Seaman was a good-looking woman , . and her manners are described as those of a well-educated person . She had been the second wife , and was the widow of a solicitor who died in Swansea , in 1 S 42 , aged about 16 years , leaving her his property . Ellison , it is said , was at one time a lieutenant of Local Militia at Halifax , m Yorkshire . The deceased during her residence in Pcnzance used to call him cousin . The deceased ' s will , in her own handwriting , and proporly executed , has been found . It gives all her property to Ellison . She had £ 100 in the Three-and-a-Ilalf per Cents ., and about £ 60 or £ C 0 in one of the Carmarthen Banks . The will was in Ellison ' s possession .

Attempted Murdbr 8 at ' Old Brenifoiid . —Oi Thursday week , between four and five o ' clock , a man named John Eldridge , living in Old Brentford , brought home with him to tea a man of the name oi John Leary , atailor , who giveshis address in Talbotcourt , Gracechurch-street , City , and whom he had accidentally met at the Feathers public-house , Old Brentford . Both had been drinking , and while Mis . Ghamberlaine , who kept the house , was preparing the tea Leary suddenly rose from his seat , and pulling from his pocket a pair of large scissors , he instantly plunged them into the side of Eldridge , inflicting a wound two inches long , from which the blood flowed prolusely . Eldridge , feeling himself wounded , knocked the scissors out ofhis assailant ' s hand , when a fearful
struggle took place between them before Eldi-idge could prevent Leary regaining his weapon . Assistance at that moment arrived , and Leary was taken to the station-house , and Eldridge to a surgeon to have his wound dressed . On Friday Leary was taken before Mr . Baillic , a local magistrate , when it was stated that Eldridge had passed a bad nicht , and was too weak to leave his bed , upon which the prisoner was remanded until the wounded man can attend . 'Hie second ease took place between eight and nine u clock the same evening , at a lodging-house kept by a woman named Maria Pearcc , in Balley ' s-row , Old Hrcutford . A man named Thomas Kent went to the house after his wife , who had left home , and who , he suspected , was harboured there . Mrs . Pearcc acknowledged that Mrs . Kent was there , but refuscd ' tn let the husband sec her , and struck him twice in the lace with her fist , to prevent her coming into her
house , when Kent said he would stay there as long as his wife did . lie then turned round and stood at the door speaking to some persons outside , when Mir Pearcc- came suddenly behind him with a poker , and raising it with both hands , struck him a most violent blow over the back of the head . Kent instantly raised his hands to his head , staggered a few paces , and fell over a low wall perfectly senseless and covered with blood . He was immediately carried to the stationhouse , Mrs . Pearcc in the meantime fastening herself in her house . Mr . Ratclifl ' o , a surgeon , was instantly called in by the police , who pronounced the man to bt in the most dangerous state , and ordered his immediate removal to the union workhouse , where he now remains without the slightest hope of his surviving . Mrs . Pearce was apprehended the same night by the police , and taken on Friday before the same magistrate , by whom she was remanded until the fate ol Kent can be ascertained .
Fire at the Mansion- of General Ramsat , near Beukklkv-sijuare . —On Wednesday morning , about a quarter past three o clock , as the lamplighter on the district was going his rounds for the purpose of extinguishing the gas-lights , his attention was arrested by a volume of smoke , which he perceived issiiiim from the rear of the building belonging to General Ramsay , in John-street , near Berkeley-square . Having succeeded in arousing the inmates , it was found that the back kitchen on the basement story was in a blaze . Immediate and eifective assistance bein } : rendered without delay , the progress of the flames was arrested by the inmates , police constables , and iremen from the brigade , County , and West of England offices , and the flames were , happily prevented from extending beyond the kitchen , the contents ot which were destroyed . The origin of the fire could not be satisfactorily ascertained .
Accident i . v PiccADiitr . —On Wednesday afternoon , as an elderly female , named Gosdcn , lady ' smaid to Mrs . Colonel Cuff , of Norfolk-street , Parklane , was crossing Piccadilly , at the corner of St . Jamcs ' s-street , she was knocked down and severely injured by the horses of Sir 11 . Cholmeley ' s carriage , the coachman having been unable to pull up suddenly on account of the slippery state of the wood pavement , which had just been wetted . The horses trampled upon her , but the wheels fortunately did not touch her . She bled a good deal , but having been taken into Mr . Hoby ' s shop and rccc-ived prompt medical treatment , she at last so far recovered as to admit of being taken home . Sir Henry , who was in the carriage , alighted , and expressed much regret at the accident .
Death of a Compositor . —James Crathern , aged 39 , a compositor , who made an attempt to commit suicide , a few mornings ago , by throwing himself oil Blackfriars-bridgeinto the Thames , and was sent to the Giltspur-3 trect Cnmptcr , in order to his beini ; properly attended , died on Monday evening , having gradually sunk from the time of his rescue . Inflammation of the brain was the immediate eausc , and also , no doubt , the cause of the insanity which lert hint to attempt suicide . Tlio coroner's jury returned a verdict of Natural Dentli .
Fatal Accident on the Bmuiiton Railway . —An accident , which has terminated with loss of life , occurred between seven aud ciiTiit o ' clock on Tuesday evening , on the London and Brighton Railway . It appears that Mr . Jonathan Hill , aged forty-two , an engineer in the employ of the Oriental and Peninsular Steam Navigation Company , had recently arrived from abroad , and left London by the six o ' clock train for Brighton , on a visit to his wife , whom ho had not seen for several years . On the arrival of the train at litigate , Mr . Hill got out for a few moments during the temporary stoppage of the train , and , nol having regained his seat in the carriage in time , he attempted to step in just as the engine was put in motion , and in so doing his foot slipped , and he fell beneath the wheels of the carriages , which passed over his body . An alarm was given , and the engine was stopped almost immediately . Mr . Byas , a
surgeon , of Guy ' s Hospital , who happened to be going down to Brighton by the same train , promptly rendered every assistance in his power , and sent to the nearest surgeon for a tourniquet to stop the haemorrhage , when it was found that the right foot had been completely severed at the ankle joint , and the upper part of the leg smashed to pieces . A special train was provided by the company ' s officers , and the unfortunate man was brought up to Guy ' s Hospital , being accompanied by Mr . Byas , and on his arrival there was placed under the care of Mr-. Cock and Mr . Shirley . From the nature of the injury , it was , from tlie first , considered impossible that hecould recover . Ho lingered in great agony until half-past one o ' clock on Wednesday afternoon , when death put an end to his suilerings . Information of the unfortunate occurrence was immediately despatched to his wife , but she did not arrive in London until about ten minutes after her husband had breathed his last .
Laughing Gas . —An American paper mentions , by way of caution against the inhalation of the laughing gas , the death of a girl and the lunacy of a man occasioned by it " . The Late Fatal Accident at "Woimnso . —An inquest was held at the Stcync Hotel , Worthing , on Monday , before J . Lutman Ellis , coroner for West Sussex , on the body of Miss Eleanor Mary Eden , agcd . twcnty , daughter of Mr . Eden , who , with Mrs . Eden and family , had been residing on a visit at 13 , Old Steyne . Deceased was drowned while on a short pleasure excursion , with her half sister , Miss Baring . John Laker , a hairdresser , was the first witness examined . He stated that he was standing on the beach in front of the Sea House , at two o ' clock on
l ' riday , looking at tho boats , when the ladiesmother and two daughters—asked what boat that was in the water , and he replied that it belonged to Mr . Burden . They said they wanted to go for a sail , and asked whose boats those were on the beach . He told them George Tyler ' s . They then asked what was the charge for an hour , and he replied he thought it was 2 s . Gd . They turned round a little and spoke to one another , and then said they would have the boat . He turned round and saw Tyler , and told him the ladies wanted a boat . Tyler came directly , and got the boat ready . No more was said , but tiie two ladies got into the boat . Coroner . —Which two ?—The two youngest ; the mother stood ashore . —Was the sea very calm ?—It was not rough . They
" reached" in once near enough to be hailed if any one required it . I remained on the beach till the accident happened , which was in about three-quarters of an hour after they started . Mrs . Eden said that when her daughters were out they never knew when to come in again . She asked if the boat was properly manned , and I said , Tyler knew as much as any man on the beach . About half an hour after this the accident happened . I was talking to the lad } at the time , and slie said , " Good gracious ! the boat ' s turned over . " I turned round , and sefcing the sails flapping , I thought the boat was tacking , and 1 said , "It is not , ma ' am . " A gentleman then said the boat was capsized , and I said , " I am afraid it is . " 1 told Iiolden , and he came immediately , and three oi four men ran down and put off a boat . Joseph
Bridge , a boy , iourtcen years of age , who gets lib living by cleaning knives and shoes , and sometime ; went out in pleasure-boats , deposed that he was oi . the beach on Friday and assisted Tyler in launching a boat , and Tyler asked him to go out . The tw < ladies got into the boat , and they sailed out for about half a mile , when Tyler told him to take in a reef ol the foresail , and he did so . When they were about a mile and a half out they put in again for shore , and when they , reached within about 100 yards of tin beach the boat was again put about . After going out a mile and a half they again put about to return to shore , when the boat capsized . He saw Tyler come up with the two ladies on his back . Afterwards tin
deceased lady was against his leg , and he supported her head as long as lie could . He could not account for the accident , and he perceived no squall . The jury returned a verdict of " Accidentally drowned , " with a recommendation to the town commissioners to take steps , if possible , to prevent such accidents in future . Tyler was admonislud by the coroner to use more caution , in future . Neither he nor any other person should put to sea without the as istanceof a second experienced boatman . Immediately after the inquest the remains of the unfortunate lady were interred , in accordance with her wish expressed only a few days before her death , in Sempt' ing churchyard . * The deceased was niece to Lady Brougham .

SPANISH AFFAIRS . —MORE BLOOD ! Our readers will see , in our Foreign Intelligence , that fresh insurrections have broken out in Spain , confined as yet to the province of Catalonia , but which may spread unless promptly suppressed . The London papers assert that the insurgents are alread y quelled , in spite of the exhibition of that heroism which should , but docs not always , secure victory to the rij : ht . It will be observed ( bv a reference to * our Spanish news ) , that the immediate cause of those outbreaks was not any political plot , but the enforcement of the conscription upon the people of Catalonia , that province having been hitherto exempted from that arbitrary system of raising troops for the service of the Government . The refusal of the Catalonians
toscrveiu the army , and thehrcsistanee . cven to death , of the conscription , shows the hostility they cherish towards the present order of things in Spain ; and shows , too , that were there any prospects of success in attempting a new revolution , they are ripe to join in the struggle . That struggle will come—that attempt at revolution will be made , and then Godspeed the right ! If the present outbreaks be quelled , it will be but for a day . The pear is ripening , and in the fulness of time the fruit will be gathered . " Order reigns" iu Barcelona ; the order which is maintained by overwhelming military forces , the
converting _ of every church and every public building into a citadel , and the most tyrannical edicts , dooming the inhabitants to silence or slaughter . Suck is the order which exists for a time in Barcelona ; but we aro much mistaken if the present summer passes away without a fearful reaction ; aud then woe to the bleod-spillers ! The following article from a recent number of the J ' aris Jkaional will throw some light upon the present state of affairs in Spain . The writer would appear to have been somewhat in error as to the Basque provinces being the scene of the first revolt ; but in all other respects his views appear to us to be well founded and worthy of attention : —
" It appears that affairs beyond the Pyrenees have become most singularly embroiled . All parties are expecting an explosion , which may burst , no one can tellinwiiat manner or where , and * which may end nobody can tell how . The Moderados are tearing each other to pieces—the Cariisis are beginning to agitate again , while the Progressists remain in quiet observation of what is going on . Christina , with all the zeal of a repentant sinner , adheres to the marriage of her daughter with the son of Don Carlos . A' arvaez , on the contrary , opposes to this project an indomitable resistance . Christina is anxious that her daughter should visit the Basque provinces . Narvaez , who with good reason dreads some Carlist matrimonial conjuration , wishes the young Queen to return
direct to Madrid from Saragossa . Christina brings forward the physicians , who declare that her Majesty will be lost if she does not take certain mineral watera of incomparable efficacy , and which , let it be observed , are only to be found in Navarre . Naraez replies that physicians are not infallible , and that sea baths are worth all the mineral waters to be found in all Spain . Christina insists . Narvaez loses all temper , and begins to find that Mnie . Munoz is too difficult for him to manage , and that things will never- go well iu Spain until she has joined her husband in France . The situation of the present dictator in Spain is singular . The riv . il of Espavtero , he is reduced to copy him whom he has overthrown . Es partcro ingratiated himself with the army , and , bv
its means , raised himself aud maintained his power until the day of his fall . It was by the army that Narvaezobtained the government ; that he has kept , and will keep it , in spite of all the aversion of which he is the object . Espartcro , who , by his sword , so long supported the regency of Christina , found himself at last constrained to abandon her , and drive her away into France . Narvaez , after having recalled Christira , and , in effect , restored her to her former position , both political and pecuniary , is probably on the point of finding himself compelled to use violence and expel this ambitious and turbulent woman again from Spain , into which she returned only through urn . The Basque provinces see with bitter feelings the man who has disarmed them of their power of
resistance now invested with sovereign authority ; and the spiritof revolt will find in their bosom redoubtable sympathy . It is in their territory that revolt will first raise its standard . This is the quarter from which Narvaez is most seriously threatened—it is thence that he fears the breaking out of a conflagration which may destroy the edifice of his fortune . AtonctinicEspartero endeavoured to annihilate the revolutionary party , and at another time courted it . Narvaez , in like manner , endeavoured to crush this party , but would now be very glad to ob ' ain its aid against the Carlistsand the fraction of the Moderados , who have united against him . To release Spain from foreign influence and Carlism , Espartero wished to mam the Queen to the eldest son of the Infante Don
i rancisco . To contend with any degree of advantage against the pretensions of the Countde Monteniolina , Narvaez , it is said , has conceived the plan of giving the hand of Isabella to the second son of Don Francisco . Espartero , in fine , having discontented all parties , was successively abandoned by all , and even by . the-army . And what is now the situation of Narvaez ? lie has against him the Carlists , who hare iecovered from theeffects of their long struggle , and are ready and willing to make new attempts ; he has against him the Progressists , who will never pardon him for his atrocities towards them ; he has against him a fraction of the Moderados , and also a certain number of generals . Who , then , has he on his side ? Thearmv . But who can tell how long the
army may remain faithful to him ? Constituted , as it has been , through the triumph of the Moderados , who knows whether Carlism may not find numerous adherents among its officers , and even among its soldiers ? However this may be , the wiser men of the Modcrado party may measure the full extent of the fault they committed in repressing , as tiiey have done , the revolutionary party . They conceived they had the power in their own hands of keeping the balance between the revolution and the counter revolution . They are now able to see the vanity of their expectations .

"There could be no such thing as landed propertv originally . Man did not make the earth , and . though he had a natural right to occ ft , he had m right to imttXi hu Property in perpttmty ailT part of it ; „ & „„ ,. m t 1 ie Creator of the earth open a land office , from whence the first title deeds should issue . "— 'fliomas I ' aine . The land shall not be sold for etcr . —itous . " There is no foundation in nature or in natural law why a set of words upon parchment should convev the . dominion of laud . "—JStacfatoiic . " The land or earth , in any country or neighbourhood with everything in or on the same , or pertaining thereto belongs at all times to the living inhabitants of the said country or neighbourhood in an equal manner . For there is no living but 011 land and its productions ; consequently , what we cannot live without , we have the same property in as in our lives . "— Thoimts Sucncc .
"The land is the people ' s inheritance ; and kings , princes peers nobles , priests , and commoners , who have stolen it irom them , held it upon the title of popular ignorance rather than upon any right , human or divine . "— . f toraus < y Connor . " My reason teaches me that tanrf cannot lie sold . The Great Spirit gave it to his children to live upon , and cultivate , as far as is necessary for their subsistence : and so long as they occupy and cultivate it , they have the right to the soil-but if they voluntarily leave it , then any other people have a right to settle upon it . Nothing can be sold . but such . things as can be carried nwny . " -Black Hawk . Every individual possesses , legitimately , tfic fMiuj which his labour , his intelligence ( or more generally ) , which Ins acticity has created .
" This principle is incontestible , and it is well to remark that it contains expressl y an acknowled gment of the right of all to the soil . For as the soil has not been created bv man , it follows from the fundamental principle of pro * , perty , that it cannot belong to any small portion of the human race , who have createdit by their acti vity . Let us then conclude that the true theory of property is founded on the' creation of the thing possessed . '" Fourier . " If man lias a right to light , air . and water , which no one will attempt to question , he has a right also to the land , which is just as necessary for the maintenance of bis subsistence . If every person had an equal share of the soil , poverty would be unknown in the world , and crime would disappear with want . "—Mike Walsh . " As the nature and wants of all men are alike , the wants of all must lie equal ; and as human existence is dependent on the same contingencies , it follows that the great field for all exertion , and the raw material of all wealth , tlic earth , is the common property of all its'inhabitants . " —John Francis Bray .
" nhat monopoly niHicts evils of such magnitude as that of land ? It is the sole harrier to national prosperity The people , the onl y creators of wealth , possess knowledge ; they possess industry ; and if they possessed land , they could set all other monopolies at defiance ; they would then be enabled to employ machinery for their own benefit , and the world would ' behold with delight and astonishment the beneficial effects of this mighty engine , when properly dircctod .
