      TO THB EBITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —In accordance with the suggestion of a good friend to the cause of Chartism , I here send you a few lines on the state of the districts I have visited j-ince my entry into ' bonnie Scotland , " hoping that it may have the effect of causing some to stand firm in the faith , and spurring others to greater exertion . The beginning of my labours in Sc-tland was at K-lso , where tbe Duke of Roxburgh baa a fine seat . 2 f jund no association , no organization , and only about

      fcur or five persons who could be wiled active Coartista . I had no intention to lecture there at first , but through the solicitations of our few friends I did so . We sent the bellman round , and got op a good meeting , oil a nice green . I was well received by the andience . I pressed on them the great necessity of organizing themselves , and meeting weekly in friendly communion together . They promised me , at parting , they would set about it ; the following week I saw , by yeur Star , they have dene so . Thru my labour has not been in vain .

      After having given my word to come and pay them another visit , in about three weeks , I bent my steps to Edinburgh . I there sought out the friend I was directed to , and found him a shuttle-maker , a Chartist , and a philosopher ; a man who has earned fame by his researches a * a geologist , and has adorned tbe Mechanics' Institution by appearing as a lecturer on that sublime science . He told me plainly that tbe people were nearly all either Sturgites , or Corn-Law Kepealers ; that the noted Brewiter was a native of tbe town , and that if 1 said anything against the views of either of tbe two parties , be doubted whether I should get a hearing ; but , if I did speak publicly , to " draw it mild . " Every body knows ( who know me ) that I am not very rash ; but I made up my mLiid to exert myself in proportion to the difficulties of my task .

      The extension of trade and cheap bread humbug , I entered into at some length , and 1 was beard patiently and often applauded . Then I brought on tbe Charter , tbe whole Charter , and its name along with it , so that they mi § ht know it -was not a bastard . If there was any Corn Liw Repealen there , or Stnrgites , they held that discretion was tbe beet part of Talour , for they " hid their candles under bushels , " and I have left them all tkeir work te begin again , with tbia difference , that tbe sstne birdlime won ' t stick a second time . My friend confessed be bad never looked at tbe qnestion of cheap bread in tbe light I had placed it before , and with the rest of tbe audience determined to go for tbe People ' s Charter , by which alona the labourer can exptct prutec « ion for bis indnstry .

      1 i-hiT . lake up no more of your valuable paper this wtrk . is a short communication can find a place where a jtr . p one can t ; but tola I wili » y , there has either been some bass treachery or gross neglect te cause such a lukewarmne ^ a en ihe part of our people—it has been all up-Lill with me so far , but I know I have made my footing arm , and M I shall have to go over the ground again , the surface will be ready smoothed . Youra , Thos . Dickinson . 291 , Cannongate . Edinburgh , May 1 , 1843 .

      NEWCASTLE . —A general meeting of delegates from the principle mining districts of Great Britain was held in tbe Rose and Grown Inn , New Road , Newcnttle , on Mo day . At the appointed hour ( ten o ' clock ) the president , Mr . Wild , of Yorkshire , took the chair . Tbe objects for which they bad met having been declared , each delegate gave an account of the number of members of the society ' . in their respective localities , at the same time paying in the contributions of their constituents to tbe general funds of the society . Amongst the great body of delegates present we observed that one represented each of the lollowing collieries , namely , —AdwaJton , Bricklayer ' s Anns , Osmondthorp , Leeds district , Wool Pack , Catherine Slack , Elland , Halifax district ; Ossett-street-slde , Wakefleld district :

      Diw Green , Dewabury district ; Segbill , West Moor , Walker , St Lawrence , East Cramliagton , West Cramlington , Sheriff-hill , Pemberton ' s , Ken ton , Seaton Burn , Jarrow , King Pit Wreckenton , GoBforth , Spiingweli , Washington , Ouston , South Elswick , Netberton , Sleekburn , Cowpen , Hebburn , Fawden , Axclose , Biaydon Main , Wylam , Brecken Beds , Spital Tongues , East Holy well , West Hellywell , North Elswick , Radcliff Terrace , Wing » te , Tbornley . Casaop , Quarrington Bill , Coxhoe , Haswell , Kylloo , Shincliffe , Sacriston , Elamore , North Hetton , Deanery , South Church , Byer ' a Green , West Auckland , Evenwoed , Leasingthorn .

      Whitworth , Copy Crooks , Sheldon Banks , Edmonsley , Craggbead , Oxhill , Walbridge Fell , Mailey Hill , Woodhouse Close , and various otber distriobs in Scotland . The monies having been paid in by the delegates from each locality , and tbe real state of tbe society ascertained , which was very favourable indeed , new societies being formed daily , anil the former ones greatly augmented in numbers , the General Secretary submitted a balance sheet of the income and expences from tbe commencement of the Boc'ety , which after being duly discussed , was adopted by the meeting . The President of the society produced the balance sheet of tbe Parent Society , from the commencement , which was likewise

      passed . The District Secretary for tbe Wear and South Durham , submitted a balance sheet of the income and and expenditure cf that district , which after being discussed was adopted also . Tbe General Secretary then announced that in accordance with instructions which he received at a previous meeting , he auhnv'tted tbe ruli 8 to the iDspction of Fcargus O'Connor , E .-q ., and tbe Editor of tbe Star , who each pronounced them in perfect accordance with law ( providing the 17 th article was omitted ) , and ho now held in his band the corrected copy returned to him by those gentlemen . Yet although be was perfectly satuaed at . to the legality , he would suggest some trifling alteration which would not at all interfere in a legal point of view . Mr . Bropby contended that notwithstanding tbe high authority upon which the secretary confided , be thought that some of the articles were

      very ambiguous , and might be construed into being coutrary to Jaw , in the event of a prosecution being raised against the society—he would therefore suggest another code of rules to the consideration of the delegates . Mr . Martin Ju le , proposed a third code , each of which was duly seconded , and a lengthy discussion ensued on the relative merits of each code , when it was agreed that a committee of nine be now appointed to consider each , and select a complete series of rules to be submitted for the adoption of tho delegates . The following gentlemen were then appointed , viz ., Messrs . D . Swallow . B Erableton , Thos . Greives , Thos . Smith , Samuel Mann , Martin Jude , P . M . Bropfay , and Alex . Stoves . Tbe committee then retired to consider tbe rules , and tbe delegates having disposed of a good deal of local business , adjourned at eight o ' clock , until ^ half-past nine o ' clock on Tuesday morning .

      THE FUNERAL OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF SUSSEX . ( From the London Papers of Thursday . ) The funeral of His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex took place this morning , with all the honours and ceremony due to his exalted rank , though , aa his remains were interred in a publio cemetry , the obsequies did not present all the state and pageantry of a Royal interment . Some rain had fallen in the night , and as the early part of the morning was dull and gloomy , eome apprehensions were felt lest the weather should prove unfavourable during the marshalling the procession and its progress to the tomb ; but as the hours wore on , the sun shone brilliantly and a brighter or

      more lovely May morning never shed its beauty on the groves and avenues of Kensington than that which gave to the du 3 t the remains of him who so long dwelt among them , honoured and beloved by all . The ceremony of lying in state closed yesterday afternoon at four o ' clock , and in the few hours during which the public were admitted , no less than 25 , 000 persons passed through the chamber of state . Along the line of road through which the procession was expected to pass , the most extensive preparations had been made for the accommodation of of the public , far more extensive indeed than the quasi private character of the funeral would seem to warrant . The scaffoldings and galleries raised at every point at which a view could be obtained were , it was calculated , capable of holding 10 , 000 persons .

      In tbe Palaoe the preparations for the funeral were all completed at an early hour . A body of the A division of police were in attendanco , under the direction of Inspector May , and by their exertions the greatest good order was observed , notwithstanding the arrival of the carriages that joined the melancholy procession . These arrivals commenced as early as a quarter to eeven o ' clock , and continued till nearly eight . We have given the names of the nobility , gentry , officers of the Royal Household , &o ., who attended the funeral , in ibeir proper place , in the order of the procession . Lord J . Russell and Lord Howick arrived in the same carriage at a quarter past seven ; Lord Morpeth aud Lord Palmerston name somewhat later ; they each appeared in the Windsor uniform .

      Soon after seven o ' clock the Duke of Cambridge alighted from his carriage ; he wore a mourning cloak , with the star and collar of the Order of the Garter . His Royal Highness was accompanied by Colonel Keate and Baron Kuesebeck . As the company alighted at the grand entrance , they were received in the hall by the heralds , Mr . Ashton Blunt and Mr . Pullman , in full costume . The Duke of Wellington rode up some time before the procession was formed , but his Grace did not alight ; he remained in his carriage till the head of the line moved on , when the horses were ordered forward , but what piace the Duke occupied in the cortege wu were unable to ascertain , or even , whether tie joined it at all .

      At ten minutes before eight , two troops of the Royal Horse Guards arrived , under the command of Captain Pitt ; tho band of iho regiment accompanied them with the kettle-drums mi filed with crape . They drew up in line in front of the entrance . The Hoyal carriages that attended the funeral had taken their place in the avenue which joins the road leading up to the entrance , ready to tall into their proper place in the line as it moved off . At eight o ' clock the head of the line began its progress , tho whole filing from the entrance in the following order : A detachment of Cavalry , and a Military Band . A Mourning Coach , drawn by four horsefa , in which

      were the Pages of his late Royal Highness . A Mourning Coach , drawn by six horses , in which were Dr . ( . hambers and Dr . Holland , the Medical Attendants of his late Royal Highness .

      Sophia Matilda of Gloucester . A Mourning Coach , drawn by six horses , in which were the Executors named in the will of his late Royal Highness . A detachment of Cavalry .

Russell , Lord Morpeth , Lord Howick , Lord Palmerston , Lord Fred . Gordon , Lord Adolphus Fitzolarence , Lord Nugent , Lord Cottenham , Lord Dunmore , Hon . Edward Agar Ellice , Sir Moses Montefiore , tho Hanoverian Minister , Baron Rothschild , Dean of Ely , Colonel Fox , Lord Marcus Hill , Mr . Tufneli , Lord Scarborough , Lord Dinorben , aud M . Hebiler .

      The mournful procession moved along Churchlane , through the Queec ' B-road , into the Uxbridgeroad , until it rtachea the Harrow-road . The utmost order prevailed amongst the vast multitude which had assembled , and each individual seemed to be impressed with a sense that he had lost a kind and valued advocate and friend . Like soldiers' funerals—after tho last sad rites had been observed , those who at first seemed to feel tho deepest , gave way to the desire for creature comforts —for all along the lina of road , from the Cemetery ,

      the itinerant hawkers of ginger-beer , bottled porter , and such like , appeared to be reaping a rich harvest . The procession , when seen approaching from a distance , presented a most striking and picturesque appearance , with the long line of carriages gradually breaking on the view , and the plumes of the hearse waving above the casques of the military escort . A slight accident delayed its march at the commencement of the Queen ' s-road ; a hone , attached to one of the mourning coaches , became restive ; but the animal was boo a removed and the procession continued to advance .

      The whole way was throughout lined with a dense mass of people : and the crowd , though somewhat noisy , as crowds must ever be , while awaiting the arrival of the procession , maintained at its approach the deepest silence . The conduct of the people was indeed most orderly ; it was remarkable for the absence of any vulgar violence or excess , and was in every way suited to the solemn occasion . At halt-past ten o ' clock the procession reached the Cemetery ^ where the most popular Prince of the House of Brunswick had chosen a grave among the people .

      K ENSAL-GREEN—THE CEMETERY . Admission to the Cemetery was only obtained by means of tickets issued by the General Cemetery Company . Mo one was admitted to the Cemetery after eight o ' olook this morning . As early as five o'olock large bodies of the police were seen proceed * ing up the Edgware-road , towards Kensal Green , and 1 at s'xthe whole of the Harrow-road , from the Uxbridge-road to the gates of the Cemetery was lined on each side by the policemen . The road , even as early as eix o ' clock , was thronged by carriages ,

      carts , cabs , vans , ana vehioles of every description , all loaded with persons attired in deep mourning , proceeding towards the Cemetery . The number of pedestrians was not so great as we had expected to see . All along the road there were platforms , stages , and booths , in the process of erection , and notices were conspicuously placarded at almost every house along the route , informing the publio that they could be accommodated with seats to view the procession . The general price demanded for a seat was 5 s .

      The public were admitted to the Cemetery through the upper gateway . Policemen were stationed at the entrances to the different avenues for the purpose of preventing visitors from wandering over the grounds . A large space , sufficient it was said to accommodate 40 , 000 persons , was barricaded off in front of tho chapel , and within this space the public

      Untitled Article

      was accommodated . The exterior of the chapel , and of the two cloisters adjoining it , were hung with black cloth . Tho cloisters were fitted up as anterooms , and , like the interior of the chapel , were hung with superfine black cloth . There was scarcely sufficient space within the chapel for the accommodation of tha mourners . Through the kindness of one of the gentlemen con * nected with tbe Cemetery we were enabled to obtain admission to the chapel before the procession arrived , but after the internal arrangements had been completed . The whole of the interior , with the exception of tho fluted column , was hung with black , and light was admitted through the painted window at the end . The effect produced by the reflection of

      this coloured light from the elegant roof of the chapel , on thejblack hangings , was extremely picturesque and beautiful . In the c ntra of the chapel was the descending bier , on which the coffin was placed , and which is lowered by machinery , into the catacombs below , where the coffin was removed from it and deposited , until the mausoleum shall be prepared for its reception . The machi n ery for lowering this descending bier is of admirable construction . At the proper period of the service , the bier with the coffin descends into the catacombs below witho t noise . So admirably does the machinery work , that not even a click is heard . This is a treat improvement in the working of this machine , which is of recent introduction .

      A handsome canopy of black cloth , ornamented with velvet and plumes was erectod over the bier . All the seats in the chapel were hung with biack cloth . Beneath the painted window , and consequently immediately at the head of the coffin , was an escutcheon of the Royal Arms . Up to seven o'clock bat few persons had arrived at the cemetery , but between seven and eight they poured in rapidly , by eight o ' clock upwards of 10 , QUO persons were assembled within the barricades in front of the chapel . The assistants of Mr . Banting , the undertaker , arrived about seven o ' clock , and proceeded at once to complete the necessary arrangements in the chapel and catacombs . The carriage of Colonel Tynte , one of his Royal Highnesaes ' s executors arrived at eight o ' clock , and remained in waiting until after the ceremony was over . Shortly after eight o ' clock , Sir C . Young , Garter Principal King at Arms , arrived in full uniform and proceeded at onoe to the chapel .

      Shortly before nine o clock M'Kay , the piper of his late Royal Highness , arrived , and took his station in the cloisters . He was immediately followed by a detachment of the 1 st Grenadier Guards , which , having formed at the centre of the avenue , filed off to the right , and eventually took up their position in front of the cloisters adjoining the chapel . They were accompanied by the ensign of the regiment bearing the regimental colours . At nine o ' clock the Lieutenant-Colonel , the Major , and the Adjutant of the Hon . Artillery Company arrived , and were set down at the entrance to the Chapel . They were immediately followed by the Right Hon . the Earl of Delawarr , the Lord Chamberlain , who arrived in a carriage drawn by four

      greys . Tho Right Rev . the Bishop of Norwich arrived also at nine o ' clock , and followed the Earl of Delawarr into the chapel . From this hour those having the ri * ht of entree into the Chapel continued to arrive in rapid succession . Amongst the earliest arrivals we noticed Sir Edward Knatahbull , the Duke of Buccleugh , the Earl of Denbigh , Lord Wharncliffe , the Lord Chancellor , Sir H . Hardinge , Lord Stanley , the Chancellor of the Exchequer , Sir R . Peel , the Duke of Devonshire , Sir John Dean Paul , Lord Ingestrie , Sir W . Martins , Deputy Chamberlain , Earl Jersey , Master of the Horse , &c . The Lord Chamberlain shortly after his arrival encaged in conversation with Colonel Stanhope , the officer in command of the detachment of the

      Grenadier Guards , and immediately afterwards the detachment was marched from its station along the cloisters , and drawn up immediately in front of the barricades , so as completely to obstruct the view of the public . This alteration was met with loud cries of " Shame , shame ! " by those assembled , and on his Lordship perceiving the effect of stationing them in front of the barricades , he immediately communicated with Colonel Stanhope , when they were ordered to resuum their former position . The order gave great , satisfaction to all the spectators present . At half-past nine precisely the beil of the cemetery began to toll , announcing that the procession had left the Palace , and continued to toll every minute until the ceremony was completed .

      ARRIVAL OF PRINCE ALBERT . At a quarter before ten o ' clock His Royal Highness Prince Albert , attended by hi- suite , arrived in a carriage and four . His Royal Hi ^ hiit ^ s looked exceedingly pale , and seemed much aii ' ccted . His Royal Highness was immediately preceded by His Serene Highness the Prince of Meckleuburgh Strelitz , who , with his suite , arrived in a Royal carriage and four . His S&rene Highness accompanied Prince Albert into the chapel . The detachment of Guards presented arms as their Royal and Serene Highnesses passed . His Royal Highness was immediately followed by Sir Robert Peel and the Earl of Liverpool , the Lord Steward . 1 The Cabinet Ministers present all wore the Wind- ; sor uniform , with broad black scarfs .

      The Directors of the Cemetery Company , attired in deep mourning , with silk scarfs and hat-band ^ ., were in attendanco at the chapel , shortly after seven o ' clock . The Directors and their friends were accommodated underneath the chapel portico , on either side of the entrance ., and in the open cloisters . . At half-past ten the funeral procession entered the cemetery by the grand entrance . The Bishop of Norwich and the chaplain of the cemetery then appeared at the door of the chapel in full canonicals . Immediately behind stood Sir Robert Peel , the Duke of Buccleuch , and the other Cabinet Ministers . These personages received the procession at the door . Tae carriages as they arrived drew up at the door of the chapel , and those who wore 10 form part of the mournful procession were arranged in their places by the Lord Chamberlain ' s officers .

      ARRIVAL OF THE PROCESSION . At ten minutes before eleven the hearse , drawn by ei ^ ht black horses , containing the body , and adorned with escutcheons , arrived Jat the chapel door . Tho magnificent coffin was borne into the chapel by twelve men , who seemed to bend beneath the hravy weight . We understood the weight of the ccffiu was nearly D cwt . The hearse was followed by a mourning coach with six horses , in which was the chief mourner , his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge . His Royal Highness appeared suffering from the deepest grief , being at limes almost convulsed by tho agony of his feelings . He looked dreadfully pale , aud wept bitterly . The Bishop of . Norwich and the chaplain of the ceremony preceded the body into the chapel , reading the opening sentences of the solemn Funeral Service of the Church of England .

      The following Noblemen and Gentlemen followed in their private carriages : —The Duke of Wellingtou , the Marquis of Clanricarde , the Earl of Clarendon , the Earl of Zetland , Viscount Duncannon , Lord Falmerston , Lord J . Russell , Lord Howick , Lord Cottenham , Lord Morpoth , Lord Oranmore , Lord Nugent , and the Earl of Redesdale . Upwards of thirty private cloosed carriages followed . The procession was escorted to the chapel door by two detachments of the Horse Guards , which filed off , as did the different carriages , round the right oloister . All those having the ri ^ ht of entree having arrived at the chapel , the doors were closed ^ at ten minutes past eleven o ' clock , and the ceremony commenced . The following was the ceremonial within the chapel ;—

      At the entrance to the Chapel , the different personages taking part in the funeral ceremony alighted from their carriages , when the mournful procession moved in the following order : — Pages of his late Royal Highness .

Upon entering the chapel the body was placed on a platform , and the coronet and cushion laid uMn the coffin . ^ Tne chief mourner ( his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ) sat at the head of the corpse the supporters standing on each side . ' The Princes of the Royal Family , with the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelhz , sat near the chief mourner .

Tbe Knights of the several Orders present at tbe solemnity wore their collars , with white rosettes .

      The Pall-bearers were the Duke of Wellington , U » Duke of Bedford , the Duke of Devonshire , and tilt Duke of Somerset . Immediately after the ceremony Prince Albert entered his carriage , preceded and followed by an escort o ( the Horse Guards , and proceeded at a rapid rate towards Buckingham Palace . Most of the Nobility who took part in the ceremonial left immediately afo-. wards in their private carriages . His late Royal Highness ' * piper , M'Kay , and indeed all his late Royal Highneaa ' s servants , seemed deeply affected . They all spoke i n the highest ttnsi of his Royal Higbness ' s kindness and consideration for them .

      The ceremonial was concluded shortly before twelve o'clock , and the grave closed for ever over one wbo enjoyed as much of the honour and respect , and , pethaps more of the love , of his fellow men than usually falls to the lot of Princes . Illustrious not merely by courtesy , but by the qualities equally of his head and heart , the memory of the Duke of Sussex will be fevered by the philanthropists , when that efaeo equally illustrious in rank , but who have abused or neglected their opportunity of doing good , shall be sunk in oblivion or remembered only with scorn . On

      leaving the cemetery we found a detachment of Lite Guards stationed as a guard of honour at tbe gate , and at a short distance up the Harrow-road , there was a detachment of Horse Guards , with a military band ( mounted / . The road ail tbe way to town was crowded with pedestrians . The stages and platforms erected on the road were deserted , and many of them had been entirely removed in less than a quarter of an boor after the procession had passed . The fineness of the day contributed , no doubt , greatly to the increase ef tbe number of pedestrians .

      ' TO THE EDITOR OF THE -NORTHERN STAB . ' Sir , —I last night returned to Edinburgh , after a fortnighfs tour in the North , and thinking that a knowledge of the re * l state of Chartism in that quarter might be interesting to tbe friends of freedom in the : South , I shall take the liberty , through the medium of i your paper , to describe what came under my own obserj -ration . Before I went to the North I was afraid from , what I beard that distress , destitution , aud disappoint' merit had thrown tbe public mind into tbe slonsh of political despondency , if not actual despair . But I am . happy to assure von and tbe friend- of freedom in Eng-: land that such is not tbe fact My reception in tbe North prove * that is that part of Scotland Chartism is

      far from being dead—that it is not asleep . I have visited Dundee , Arbroatb , Brecben , Montrose , and other places . I have had crowded houses , bo much so , that the people there say , nay , even the locsJ newspapers admit that there has not been such Chartist meetings for years , although I spoke twice in all these place * - In Dundee I lectured three nights , and in Aberdeen five nights rn ning . But , Sir , I have met with that which pleases me far better than full and crowded honses ( and there is nothing I detest more fchon empty benches ) and that is the warm reception I met with and the firmness and determination of the people to carry the Charter . Their spirit is still unbreken ; stirring and active ; resolved to pursue with untiring energy , till r » tional liberty has obtained tbe Rseendai cy . it is with sincere delight that I can send you such a statement—it is truly beart-cheering to mystlf t ) see the cause for which I Buffered , ( and for wtich ! ^ rould -till suffer ) prospering so triumphantly .

      la the S _ - ttish vineyard goodlabourers are much wanted ; they oaonut be efficient at present as it is only in a very few places that assoeiations exist , and the poverty of tbe people cannot pay the expense of agitating the organized districts . Were such a national union estB . b . . sh ** l-in Scotland and England as that proposed by Mr . O"Connor , then the strong for a time could bear the burden of the weak ; or , in plain terniB , good men might , from a general fund , be stnt te districts ¦ which in a little time wouhl reimburse the general fund fer all tbe outlay attending their first organic ition ; another good effect would be , that by such a national or general fund [ I care not which ) good and true men alone would be admitted as public lecturers , and an end put to that petty squabbling unfortunately , but too prevalent , in Sce-Uaod .

      Shocking Accident . —On Thursday week , an accident occurred in a quarry near Gloesop , Derbyshire , by which a young man named James Bowden lost his life . In the quarry it is usual for the men to loosen the rooks by blasting and undermining ; and it appears that part of the stone had been undermined the night previous to ihe day on which tbe accident occurred . Some of the rook had fallen down , but a large piece at the top was left projecting a considerable way beyond the rest of tbe rook . The workmen observed this , and some of them went on the top to examine whether it waa safe ; and seeing no crack , they thought it would not be dangerous to allow it to remain . The men had been at work there for Bome time after this , " ¦ i

      and deceased waa filling » barrow under the projecting rock , when another of the workmen , who observed that it was loosening , and likely to fall , cried ont to him to run away ; but , before he oould escape , the stone , which weighed about two tons , came down , striking the deceased , and knocking him against the wheelbarrow . He was much hurt , bnt life waa not extinct ; and , on a surgeon being ssnt for , he recommended that the man should be taken to the Manchester Infirmary , which was immediately done , and the unfortunate young m » n lingered there till Sunday night , when he died . An inquest was held on the body on Thursday last , before Mr . Chapman , the borough coroner , and | the jury returned a verdict of Aooidental death . "
