      MATHEWS AXD THE FRENCHMAN . "Among the many foreigners with "whom Mr . Mathews "was intimate was M . P—lie , who frequently Tisted us after our marriage . Mons . E—lie and his ¦ wife , a pretty English-woman , had been married everal years , but no child had blessed the otherwise happy conple . At the time ire became acquainted witfi them , in York , the l » dj had given promise , and m due time fte critical period arrived which was to complete their happiness , as they believed , by a more powerful bond of union- On the evening when this trrent was expected , and Monsieur P—fie hoped to become a father , he invited himself to dinner with -as , desiring to divert , if possible , the intensity of his feelings from the- little less than -agony of suspense

      trhieh lie experienced lest his dearly beloved wife inrald fall a sacrifice to her situation . It was almost impossible , even white witnessing the husband ' s dfering , not to smile at the lndierons expression he gave to it . Mr . MatbewB urged him to take more wine than the- habit of the -abstemious Frenchman would haTe allowed Mm to drink at any other time ; but now he seemed glad to use any artificial means to sustain himself . A second bottle of port had been produced after dinner , before any intelligence from some reached the anxious husband , when lo ! as he was sipping a second glass of the newly-opened wine , a servant from home was admitted , almost breathless with haste , and announced that his mistress was * pui to bed with a fine boy V The rapture of the

      father was aa whimsical as had been his dread . He ma flying off to see his first-born j bat a prudent message from the doctor-was added , recommending Mans . P—lie not to return immediately , but to wait , tatTfffifiT with prf" * " * TT . tp 1 lijwmr . O j -m-. ti JsUXHIDOZied . To this he reluctantly submitted ; and reseating himself , indulged in his future prospect o : added bliss . Nothing had been wanting but a son to . perfect the interest of his life ; one child was efficient for their mntua . wishes indeed , as he observed , a large family would not be-desirable , or Qusistentwithnis means jand . as be and Ms wife were no longer yoothfu ] . vwas " not probable that any very serious increase to h 5 > family circle could be expected—he was , in fact , the happies t o imen .

      After a short intervaJthe servant appeared once more , to acquaint MoTtfiifrnT W » maste * , that , since his first message , 'Mistress had got-another bairn !' Surprising was the news , and somewhat damping we thought , to the happiness and satisfaction ¦ which the first intelligence bo indisputably occa sioned . However after the first ejaculation of surprise , Mobs . P—r—lie inquired how his wife was , aad car being again assured there was nothing to fear , and ifca * he would Boon be allowed to Bee Her , he appeared to resign himself to his twofold blessing observing , Well , well ! it cannot be prevented—it isone more < fcn I expect—nuat I not repine—two ^ titfrCT- at one time is ra-iher inconvenient et very erpcn » we . ' —nwiia n ' tmporie , I cannot help him—I Btootfb e resign to if . ' - In this manner he philosophised while he sipped his wine , looking into the fire st the same time ,-in a musing attitude ; now and then , however , taking out his watch , and again

      expressing Ms anxiety lest his dear wife' should be in danger . We had some difficulty in preventing him from appearing at-his house before the rnfingpowers there thoughtproper . A third time his messenger roshed in , more agitated and pale than at first . He appeared to bring fatal news , for , his eyes seemed almost burstirgfrom their sockets , and his whole appearance was truly alarming to us alt ' Well ?' - WB BiTmiHanaandy f tTftlahnfirt .

      I, GLEAlfENG ] T 8 ) . yti&TSTll&TL y ^ A Bhort time Binre handbills were posted in the rural districts in the vicioity of Salisbury , cautioniag gleaners not to enter the lands of aonie lew landowners , whose ns ^ nes appeared at tfieiwfetom of the bill j including that of Earl Radnor , * till further notice . " But this "unqualified eantion was not heeded by the hatf-atarvine peasantry , who , inmost instances , had enjoyed that very ancient privilege so ' lon § as they could remember . However , the following case will show the modern custom that is depriving , with rapid strides , the poor of this animal blessing ^ - cousrr pbttt sessions . Salisbury , Oct . 8 . ( Before the Right Hon . the Earl of Radnory and a fuli Bench of Magistrates . ) i ^^^ ; Si ^ ffi s .

      Catharine Shfcppard and Mary Turner were charged b y James Musslewhite ( Earl Radnor ' s dairyiiian ) with having gleaned in a barley-field , the property of Earl Radnor , and for carrying away what little corn they had picked up ( after the pigs had been let into the said field for two days . ) THie worthy dairyman , having been sworn , said—On the the 30 th September I -went into your Lordship ' s field , about eight o ' clock in the morninKj and , aal entered , I saw several leasers there , and when they saw me , some ran away , and some walked away ; but this woman ( pointing to Turner , a poor wretched-lookingwoman ) -would not go . She kepton leasing , andl sajdto her , " Tf on know I donotsilow it r and 1 told her eo several tiroes , and that I would

      not have the barley carried away like that . Mr . Jacobs—Was there any barley in the field ? The Dairyman—No ; it was quite clear . Earl Radnor—The barley leasing is let to the dairyman , for the pigs ; that is what I am told ; and he is mj dairyman , aad therefore is . entitled to the barley leasing . The Dairyman—I desired all the people would leave , besides this person . Mr . Matcham—( to Turner )—Now , it appears you were told to leave this field , and yoa would not , for which you are summoned , and for carryinjtoff the barley . - The Poor Wonka—He came np # lne in such a passion , and AqoJBus stick at me three times , and said I must be ^ ^ wiTmust not lease there ? . and I

      said to Mm , "Why did you come in such a way as that ^ to met" ( the poor wretch was enceinte );^ and , gentlemen , I have not been well ever since . Mr . Matcham—Why did you refuse to leave the field ! ;• :. ¦ . . - ¦ The Woman—Why , Sir , I have lived iu the place twenty-two years , I may say twenty-three years , and I have never been refused beforehand Mr . Gray , my Lord ' s bailiff , saw us leasing , and never forbade us ; but this man came over and——But what did you say to Musslewhite when he told you to go ? Why , I said I -will stay now , and then we shall know for the future whether we may lease or not ; but , GentlemeH , the pigs had then been in the field two days , and he knew what a state I was in . He is the father of a family himself , and he should not have served a "woman so .

      Mr . Matcham , to a by-stander , Mr . Stephen Long , sen ., yeoman , of Amesbury—i it the practice in this neighbourhood to allow barley leasing 1 Mr . Long—Certainly not ; for in windy weather we are obliged to rake the ground a second time ; and also for other reasons ; in fact , it is not the custom . Mr . Matcham ( to the dairyman)— -It is not the practice at all , I believe , in this neighbourhood . ? The Dairyman—I don ' t think any one allows it but Mr . Godwin ! Have you ever rented this field before?—Yes , Sir , three years ; and this is all damage to me . ( Here the handbill which we before mentioned was produced . ) And this notice , Baid he , has been given out before ; and she has been very troublesome Before , when she was told not to glean till further noticed ) .

      The Woman—He has been through the fields her fore when we were leasing , and he never said anything to us . Mr . Matcham—Does Gray allow it on his own farm ? The Dairyman—No . And what did you say to Catharine Sheppard ! After I forbid this last woman , Sheppard came up , and then I told them if they took away the corn they had gleaned , I would have a summons for them both . Was Sheppard leasing ! Yes ; ana she continued afterwards to do so . Earl Radjjob—Did Sbeppard , you say !

      The Dairyman—Yes , my lord , she kept on leasing . Sheppari—I never came into the field till after the woman was with you . Mr . Matcham—But Musglewhite told you not " to stay . . S . . * . Sheppard—But we did not feel satisfied unless Mr . Gray came himself . I have based in that field for 40 years , and wot -neverjiefore denied . Earl Radnor , to the dairyman—Did yon forbid them before ? The Dairyman—Yes , my lord ; and though ibis woman went away , yet she was very sauey . Mr . Matcham—Are you quite sure you forbade them last year ! Miud , you are on your oath .

      The Dairyman—I know I am , and am quite sure I did . ( Here the Bench conferred for some time ) , when Mr . Matckam said to the dairyman—I suppose you do not wish to press the case very harshly against them ? The Dairyman—Not at all , sir . Earl Badnor—I shall be satisfied if they promise not to do it again . Mr . Matcham—Well , my good women , you see Mr . Musslewhite does not wish to press the case

      against you ; yet , if the farmer does not choose , you must not enter Ms field , and he can prevent your going into to it ; besides now , it is not the general « ustom , _ and , according to hia statement , he gave you notice last year ; and , if you thoughtyou could have maintained a right to do eo , you should have done so last year , and not have broken the law thiB year . You might have been fined for damage done , and punished for taking the corn away -from the field ; but this time you are discharged , but yoa must pay for the summonses . —Morning Herald .

      m ^ THE LATE RIOTS AT BIRMINGHAM . TUESDAY . The committee cf the Town Council resume d its labours thiB morning , Mr . Alderman Sturgp in the chair . William S . Cotterill . of 93 , Bull-street , examined—I am an assistant to Mr . John Cadbury . tea dealer . On the nightof the 15 th July last , about half-past eight , I had occasion to go into New-street . Seeing a number of people standing about , in High-street , below the end of New-street , I-wentdown as far as the monument . I had not been there many minutes before a crowd of people , armed with stick f . &c . came np the Bull-ring shouting . They turn cdalong Moor-street . arid in a few minutes 1 heard a shout raised , and many came running from Moor-street towards the Bull-ring , as ijafraid . My impression

      was that the police had appeared . Soon after this , the window so Bourne' shouse were broken . Iwas then standing JiHigh-street . opposite Philip-street . A party . 0 : about ten or a dozen lads , all o-i whom appeared tome to be under twenty , came up the street , throwing sticks and Btone * a ithe upper windows o rsevera lo ; the houses as they proceeded . The shops were generally shut . When they so broke the windows , they appeared afraid , some of them running away , and others shouting to them to return , and no tbe afraid . The persons engagedln Gas work of destruction were almost entirely lads . I did not observe more than one or two men , and they were no taetually engaged in breaking . I went home , but returned io the Bull-ring a little after nine , when I

      found the mob throwing out the stock from Bourne's shop \ The persons engaged in this work wera very generally boys ; some o : whom were very young , with some men and a few women of die lowest description . Altogether , there did not seem to be more than fifty or sixty persons cotnmitticg this depredation . I saw none among them having the appearance of regular or respectable workmen . I left , and as I was coming up High-street home , I saw a stout athletic man deliberately endeavonring with an iron crowbar to force . the shutter-bars of Dakin ' s shop ; finding his attempts ineffectual , he commenced battering the shutters and windows , which he broke . He was quite alone when I first saw him ; a man afterwards went np and talked with him . and others

      afterwards joined them . . Thomas Jones , of 69 , Oxford-street , examined—I amin the employ of Mr . Perry , grocer , of Highstreet . In going home from my employ , I have observed the meetings round Nelson's Monument The numbers varied from a hundred or two to a thousand , or more . They were always perfectly quiet when I saw them , and I never saw the footpathB or horse-road obstmcted . I have occasionally stopped , and heard what was said . The proceedings were generally reading the newspapers , and making remarks about them . r I was once present when the meeting broke up , at the latter end of June . They finished with "Three cheers for the Convention , " and then formed into procession , three or four

      aHjreast , and moved off up High-street , and along New-street . The speaker directed them to go through certain streets , and told them net to Mbs or groan at particular places . As they moved in procession , they huzzaed . It was dusk when the precession commenced . I should think the procession would reach from the corner of New-street to Nelson ' s Monument . I never saw any persons attending the meetings armed in any way , not even with sticks . I never heard any threats used by the speakers against the lives and the properties of per sons resident in the Bull Ring , or elsewhere . - I have heard the speakers exhort the people generally \ q arm , with a view to self-defence . I never heard any language nsed calculated to excite resistance to the authorities of the town . I have seen the BirmiBg

There appeared to ' -Tbe less than the erdinary number present . They were not armed , and there was nothing unusual about the character ot the meeting . A person : was addressing ; them ; they were perfectly quiet .-1 stood in the hprse road , nearly opposite PordPs shop , and between it and the monument , and about twenty yards from the speaker ^ who stood close by the palisading ^ surrounding the monument , with his face looking up High-street . I n&a stofta

      there about ten minutes , when Isaw Dr . Booth and another gentleman on horseback , turn rouud out of Moor-street into , High » street , and a number of the London police , with staves in their hands , closely following thena . They advanced towards the meeting . As soon as the people composing the meeting saw the police advancing towards them , they commenced hissing and : groaning . No stones or other misailea were thrown , and nothing more was done than the hissing ; and groaning . When Dr . Booth and the gentleman accompanying him arrived a few yards higher than the monument and between me and the monument , Dr / Booth , pointing to the speaker , addressed sonjetbing to the polieej wWwere then close behind ^ iim i which' I understood to be an order for them to aeizotho

      speaker . ^ Nothing had been previously done or said , by either Dr . Booth or the gentJemau acconinanviaK him . so far as 1 saw . They did not , nor did eithe ? of them address the people first , and tell them to disperse , or anytting else . I am quite confident that Dr .

The moment DrVBooth reached the spot I have described , he gave what I understood to be the order to take the speaker . The gentleman

      accompanying the Doctor was at thiB time at the lower part ot the monument , and consequently not so near to the meeting . This is my reason for saying I do not believe this latter gentleman could hav 6 addressedihe meeting , it was all so instantaneous ; and had he done so , the meeting could not have heard him . Directl y Dr . Booth spoke to the poli be in the way I have described , they made their way to the speaker , with their staves elevated . I was not near enough to observe wh » ther atty blows were struck at this moment ; but a scuffle immediately ensued , and the people fled : in all directions . I immediately made my way home as fact as possible . .- ¦ -

The following facts connected with this mysterious case were adduced m evidence upon the former investigations before the coroner : — It appeared that abont twelve months ago . the deceased became acquainted with a youngleroale , named toarah Browne , whose parents do not bear a very respectable character in Hitchia ; but as she Iww * ^ ^ ^ ider » V J Personal attractions , h » Bhortly afterwards married her . Their lives , how ^ ever , became a series of quarrels , and their differences attamedjnich a height that a separation took place ; but matters were made np ^ iwJ-they liTed together again , but still very unhappily : Thnurs ^ ¦ SS ^^^^ FP ^ i a femafe cousin , ^^ and

Brice did not undeceive her as to who had really accompanied htmon the evening in question ; and , under the impresoion that she had been truly informed , Mrs B went the next day to the person referred to ' and tpld ^ her that it was fortunate she did not see her with her husband , for if she had she would have marked her ; and made use of expressions tefidiiH ? to show that she was highly exasperated at what had occurred .

      On the Tuesday following , while the deceased was at work , a little boy came to tell him to to home , to dinner , and about half past twelve o'clock he left his . work for that purpose , being at the time in the enjoyment of perfect health . He returned to his ^ work , and m a short time was seized with crania and violent retching , and the symptoms increased to such an extent that at length be was compelled to leave his work and go home . As he was proceeding thither he was met by his wife , who was heard to say to him that he waa not half ill enough , and that she hoped he would be a box of " cold meajt ' by the morning , and that she wished to be his cold nurse . On the same night she told a person who

      went to enquire after him , that she did not think lie would see " Dick / ' meaning her husband , " again soon . ' ¦ The deceased contmned in drcadfal acony unta Wednesday the 11 th , when he died . Themedical gentleman who had been called in considered the case to be of such a peculiar kind that he expressed a wish to open thebody ; but this was resolutely opposed by Mrs . Brice and the relatives , and on the Saturday following 4 he deceased was buried in Hitchin churchyard . In consequence , however , of the rumours that were abroad , and the excitement upon the subject in the town ; the coroner issued his warrant for the disintorment of the body which was done , » nd a surgical examination of it took

      place . No external marks of violence presented themselves , but upon tho body being opened , tha medical gentleman was immediately struak with its extraordinary appearance , and which could not be accounted for as the result of any apparent disease , inere was , m particular one bright yellow spot presenting a very pecuUar appearance . A . minute analysis of the cootents of the stomach took place , and at length the presence of white arsenic was dis--tinctlyascertained , arid the surgeon deposed positively that the man ' B death was occasioned through the administration of this poison to the deceased . Upon . ascertaining these facts , the inquiry was againadjourned until Thursday , when the followinif additional evidence was adduced : — During the proceedings Maria Brice , the deceased a widow , niada an application to the coroi 10
