      THE LATE COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY AT HARROW . ADJOrRNED CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE

      BODIES OF THE SUFFERERS . ror-axH oat's fboceedi > -gs , akd COKCIXSTO !* OP THE IX ^ UEST . ¦ There appeared to be bat little abatement in the intere-st winch had previously manifested itself in the proceedings , and , as ou the former ' occasions , several directors , Mr . Creed , the secretary , 3 Ir . "Bruyere ? , the ohief superintendent , and Mr . Berry , . chief of the locomotive department , were present to ¦ watch the proceedings on behalf of the company ; and Mr . 3 tgo again appeared on the part of Lord If crthvnck , the Lord of the Manor , to protect Ms Lor . l-nip ' s claim in the event of a deodaad . On -he Coroner taking his seat , he stated he had rec > -: d a communication from Mr . Hewlett , the Burgeon , with respect to the condition of the poor man Qoinlaa , and which ran as follows : — " Queen ' a Arms , Dec 2 , 1840 .

      " My dear Sir , —I thmi Qmnlan may undergo , -with out danger , the examination you . dtsire to submit him to , this evening . It ia , however , as you "well know , early dsys for the brain to be subjected to much exertion , and perhaps , therefore , you ¦ will caution the jurymen to put as few questions t » him as possible . I have no doubt of his u-timate recovery . " I am , yours faithfully , "Thos . Hewlett . 11 Ties . Wakley , Esq ., M . P ., Coroner . " The Coroner eaid such being the case , the jury would now be yleased to accompany him to th « chamber of the sick man , which he understood was below . The Coroaer and the jury then proceeded to Quinlan's chamber , where the poor feliow ¦ gave his evidence , after being sworn , lying down in his

      Wm . Qoisl&n was then examined—I reside at No . 4 , Cam-icn-&tre * tj Camdcn-town , and have been employed as a stoker , or fireman , about two months , on the London and BLnniBghazn Railway . ' I had been for vwo years bxiore in the employ of the company , and worktxl in the sheds belonging to them . Latterly I hare been fireman to Simpson . Coroner—Did Simpson ever go out with on t you ¦ icce yonr appointment &s Ms fireman 1 Witness—Only on one occasion , when I was too late for tiEL

      Evidence resumed—I was with Simpson one day in de month of September last , when a builoci jumped orei one of the tittle-waggons by the train . The bullcck fell otet oa to the lice ana lost his horns by the occurrence , bat was not killed . No other accident h&jptne-d liuringthe time I waa with Simpson ; until tiie late fatal one near Harrow station , except that on ( Hie occasion a red board was pus up between the rails at ti « Harrow station for Simpson to pull up , but he did a : do so . Tnis was afser the tuilock affair , int I cannot say how long since . The booJtl , upon that occasion , was raised in height about five feet . In our progress we knocked it down into the ash-pit of the 2 ine al the station , and passed over it

      By the Coroner—We could see that mpnal about two mates off in a straight line . On the occasion to whrch I allude the signal was raised between four and five o ' clock in the evening , at which time it was clear daylight . We were at that time going after a luggage ¦ faain to Watford ; we Were upon the djwn line , and b&d - » ith us but a acgie engine and teadsr . Cttrentr—IHd not Simpson stop at ail in comoliance "With such a signal as you have described ? Witneis—Yes , he aid ; bui he did not pull up until r ft-T we had passea over it . 1 or what purj * ose was Uib signal you have allnded to posted on that night . ' The signal was tLen Lobted for us to stop , because one of ihe metals was off the rail further down the line .

      Do yon re-member anything about leaving Wolvertoa an the afternoon of Thursday , the 12 th of last month ? —T . = , I do . I el : out from Wolverton for London ¦ with S :-j-p ; vtJ . Joseph Da-rsun , and Martin BrowB . Slartia Brvwn had chirp- of engiae " So . l , " and Dawson was will : hiui . 1 was with Simpson on No . S- enrine . Thr train was attached to our engine , and engine No . 1 v ^ s in » i ? i 5-Gi » iely in irunt of us , and auachfeu to ti . e mzi- sain . Evidence cot ^ inTie-d—I do net r ^ raeEiKr wLo ; he brxaksnian of the trr . in "wi 3 t ' -at night . S ^ metiin-Js Bt do not know whether or not we bive a brealenian , or " who he is uniii "we come to a station . We seldom fcnu'S- the name of the breaisinan . Upon the iiay oa "Whidh the « Ccid ? Ei happened we left TTjlYerton between 1- ar . t ! i-ne o ' c . ock in the afternoon , and we su-p ' -xi szcassively at the LeiiLton , B . nc ^ or , and "Wr . tfvrd stations .

      Coroner—I > id yen bear at either of those stations of any accident having hipptned at Woodcock-hili , cr Eiy part of the line ? , Quinlan—We did not , but en our arrival at Boxmoqr ¦ taiion , the poli ^ -man on duty there told us to go on to Harrow station gently . I don't know the name of »>« . » poiioeaian , but I am pcaiire ce care us that cactbn-Csroner—Did he make that observation to Simpson , or to you?—Te Simpson . Did you or Simpson inquire of the policeman the reason why you were to go slowly by Harrow stvtion ? —JCot tnat I remember . Did Simpson mate any remark when those instructions Were given to him ?—He made no answer in rcy hearing ; but he became flurried and angry with the polictman , because he Lai stopped

      him-When waa tcis caution givan *—The policeman gava It directly we stopped at the Boxaoor station ; but I did nit hear what Simpson said in reply , is 1 was buiy In taking in water . He did not swear ut all at the policrman that 1 heard . What did the deceased { Simpson ) say to you about Qiis evuilon after you . had startea from Boxmoor ?—He Bid titling at all to me about it . Did you after that stop at Watford ?—I think we did , tut I will not be Quite positive . Do you recollect anything th-it transDirei after passing Watford Station ?—Yes , I do . Do yua recolle-cl anything absnt seeing a red light on your approach towards Harrow Station ?—I do . I remember that I saw the ret signal above half a mile before tsac ' jJMS Harrow Station . Did you perceive more than one red light ?—I do not sememt > er seeing more than one light .

      Was it the £ xed light at tr . e Etaiion , or the policfnsE's light . '—I taint it was the red light in the poiiceman ' i h ^ nd . Did Sispson say anything to you when you saw it ?—Ko , tut I toll him I saw it , and ciuiioaed him to 1 st th * afrervgi cS . Did he do so 1—Yes , he turned it off until he got it down » j about an inch , in which he continued to keep it The full force of gteam is four i ^ cb ^ s in depth , so that at this time Simpsjn let oflf-three-fourtliS of the power tt hij engine . I am positive he kept about an iceh of zbe steam on all the tune . Did Martin Brown , of >* o . 1 engine , give you any signal ?—Yes , he did , by lifting the valve , which he continued to do iis we approached Harrow . Do you know if Brown turned the steam of his engine Off?—Yes . I am quite sure that he did .

      DM yon feel any bunip-ng of the tram owing to sneh a cirwojustanoa ?—We fcl ; the bumping of Brawn ' s ecgine against ours , but not any bumping of the train . At what rate were you going when you first saw the i red s i gnal at Harrow station ' : —1 think about twenty- i five miles an hour . j Did Simpson teD yon why he did not 2 et off Ms ( iteain entirely ?—He did not , and although he let off ; ihrei-fourths of it , the fourth that remained was I enough to keep the waggon in fall ssring , as from the J point where the red light wa 3 nrst s # en the line was ail :

      down ailL Could you have stopped at the Harrow station ' ¦ with so much Lteam as one inch on , aid going at J such a rate as you have stated ?—I am sure that it was j quite impossible . - I Whan Manin Brown lifted the valve of his ; engine , thereby giving a signal to Simpson , did ! Simpson make any observation ?—1 cannot recollect i wiat eipresaion he nxade ase or " , but he hillooed out . i If he had tL ^ n said anything , I could not have heard : Tiim I

      Wien you saw the red light continuing up at the station , ana the traia going on , did you bp&ik agiiu to Simpson ?—I did . I wld him a sec iaa uine to let ull the steam off ; but ha took ao notice of me whatever , and he did not do so . Did you observe whether he saw the signal light or not '—Yes , he looked straight forward al it . Mr . Bstch observed that to do so Simpson must have gone to the side oi the engine . GuroMr—Da you recollect passing the policeman . as you approached the Harrow station . ' Quinlan—I do , perfectly w- ^ lL He hallooed to us to " hold on . " Did Simpson make any answer to that shout ?—None tfcat I could bear . Can yon tell us what Simpson did , or whether he did ttything when the polic « nan haliooed ?—I did not see tb&t he did anything .

      Did Simpson teil you to do anything T—Not that I know or ; but I kspt holding on at the break , all the fcne , ofmy own accord . But then , after you had passed the policeman , and eame towards the Harrow station , do « you recollect th&t Simpson did anything , or said anything to you ?—He neither said nor did anything . What , then , did you do ?—I tlien pereeiTel that we vere coming close Hpon the engine , I bdieve Br&dburn ' s , od the iine before us , » nd thinking there was not a moment to be lost , I fchif ted to the other side of the engine , aad jumped » S Did yo » jump off the rails T—I jumped off

      alto-Did you Bay eoything to Simpson before you found it MTittble to jump off the engine ?—I said to him " It B tJnafoi nsto be jumping off now , " but he said nothing irfaa ^ ter to me in reply .

      Are you quite sure that Simpson made no alteration in the moving power of the engine , as you ¦ were passing the Harrow Station?—I am « ore that he made no change whatever . Did you hear the TalTC lifted np r—No , not tlie YaWe of our engine , but of Martin Brown * . Are you quite sure that Simpson saw the red signal light time enongh to h » ve pulled up feefore arriving at Harrow Station?—Tea . We might have come in quit * easily and comfortably * . What kind of a driver was Simpson?—He used to run very bard , seldom er ever looking before him . Was he attentive to signals »—We had often the red light shown to na at the stations to pat on waggons , but he would not pull up unless hallooed to , and then he wonld work the engiae back .

      Do you know whether any complaint was ever made to the superintendent against Simpson ?—Yes . I know tiiat ho 'was complained of when the bullock jumped out , but I do not recollect any other complaint . A Juror—When at Hitchin Bridge , can yon gee the lights at Harrow Station . Quinlan—Not nntii we ha , re passed throagh it But is there not generally a signal light at Hitchin Bridge , near Pinner Park Gate » —There is not a light fixed there , but there is generally a m&n there who has a light . He was not there on the night of the accident or I must have seen Dim .

      Juror—I wish to direct your attention to this important point , Mr . Ceroner . The man who sbonld have been at Hitchin-bridge when the witness passed with Simpson , was , in fact , taken away and sent to the break down at Woodcock Hill , and after this accident fee was sent back to his former post at the bridge . It is now a question between the policeman attached at this station and the late driver Simpson , whether the signal was hoisted the day of this accident , and the one when the bullock fell over . Do you remember anything about it ?—( addresring Qainlan . )

      Quinlan—I saw nothing of it myself . Coroner—Was Simpson sober on the evening of the last accident ? Qainlan— Ho waa sober . Corona—Was he at all deaf ? Witness—No , he was not Another Jnror—Had he good eyesight ? Qainlan—He had , to the best of my belief . This being the whole of the evidence , th . e Jury returned to the inquest room , when Quintan's evidence was again read over to those assembled in the Court At its conclusion .

      The Coroner , addressing the Jury , said they had now arrived at the conclusion of » most painful and protracted inquiry , which they had conducted with the most becoming patience and attention , and the result of which was expected with an extraordinary degree of interest , not only by all those tonnecteri with railways , but by the public at large . The Coroner then proceeded to recapitulate the entire evidence . Of the condnctof Bradburn , the driver of tke engine No . 15 , ag&inst which the engines of Martin , Brown , and Simpson rushed in fatal collision , it must be said that Bradburn did not seem conscious of having caused the calamity , by leaving his engine on the line , as be did , in the care of Finch , his fireman , while he ( Brariburn ) went to order refreshments at this house ( the Qaeen ' 3

      Arms ) to the men clearing away the obstruction at Woodt-ock Hill . It seemed to be established beyond a doubt that Bradburn neither saw , knew , nor suspected that a train could come upon the np-line , as he was aware that the same signals that Were in readiness to warn the corning luggage train , under Martin , Brown , and Simpson , had already , and within a short period , on the same evening , stopped two other up-coming trains , and caused them to follow the general orders , of siding off at the Harrow station upon the down line , and thus avoid the obstruction at Woodcock Hill . Nevertheless , Bradburn was much to blime , as it appeared that he was never ordered by Mr . Bedford , on being sent for the refreshments , to do more tkan give the order at Harrow station-house , which he might

      hare done without getting off his engine , arid as his getting off the engine at all was , as Bradburn mnst have well known , contrary to th « emphatic rules of the company . Tae roles of the company were generally framed in » prudent and camious feeling , but tLey should undoubtedly have been more careful in Beeing them obseTvtd . In some important points they were , however , defective ; for example , Callan , the driver of the tra . n which left London af : er the break down at Woodcock Hill , said it was no part of his orders to state what ha-l occurred at the succes ^ ve stations as he proceeded down the line , givia :, ' warning at least for tie guidance of tha up-trains , th »> ugu it npjvar-.-rt he did mention what Lad taken p ! r » ee

      at cue . But the Company should provide in such a case that engine-drivers should have it in orders to give full warning at each station , and be ; the Coroneri fcop ?< 3 a similar grave oversight might not be imputed to them . Ke shou'd not now dwell further upon this part of the case , as the accident at Woodcock Hill had no neces * i * ry or direct connection with the subsequent fatal co' ! : sion at Harrow Station , for there bad tee ^ n , on the wkole , with regard to that , ample precautions taken , and due warning given to all up-coming trains . He would further remark , that whilst bo lmny witnesses concurred in describing tiie deceased ( Simpson ) as \ hasty , impetuous , reckless driver , oaly vne c miplaint of his misconduct had reached bis superiors . That was in the case of the bullock getting over the

      carriage ; and as to his culpability , there wa » a difference of opinion between Mt . Bury and Mr . Bruyercs . Tru « , Simpson was fined £ 1 ; but if he were guilty of so grave a disobedience as that of disobeyii-g the red signal , the luost important of all signals , and up ) n ¦ which the lives of hundreds might dep ; iid , he ou ^ Lt to have been instantly dismissed . But . Simpsou bad m : been complained of in any other case , although it appeared he had deserved it in many . Here was another point into which the company should lookmorj carefully in future , by making their servants execute thiir orders as well as to receive them . As to the value of the engines , they had been toid by Mr . Bury that No . 1 was worth £ 1 , 150 , and its tender £ l £ 0 ; No . b 2 wa 3 worth ill . 200 , and its tender also £ 160 .

      In considering of a deodand , they shouid reinembtr those facts , as also those which might be said Mr . Creed had stated in mitigation of damages , namely , that , since the opening of th < J line , there had been travelled S 9 , HS 5 , 0 ( jo miles by 2 . 349 . 000 passengers , not one of wham had died by accident , while , of the Company ' s servants , but five or six in all had been killed . Certainly this spoke in general favour of the Company . In considering the question of a deodand , it should also be borne in mind that Judge Foster and other eminent authorities had held that , though ih ^ jury mi ^ ht escheat tiie objects moving to the cause of dtatb , still they exercised a &ound discretion in mult-ting tfce parties to blame merely in the amount of the value of thostititicl&s . There were , it was true , carriages belonging

      to vhree different Companies in the train which caused Ui » accident , but inasmuch as two * f them in that case coald have eo controul over the engineers of Eucb train , he considered those companies -srere not answerable , and ought to be left entirely out of the question . In coming U their verdic ; the jury should mate every man , whether conu& . ; ted with railways or merely a uembrr of the community , know what the lav v . as ; the fxrraer for their guidance , the latter for tfleir j . rotetti ^ n . If , therefore , it had been proved that B : adbum , by leaving his engine as described upon the line , aud death to others had been the consequence , a verdict of manslaughter at least could be returned against him . But though much to blame , the deaths of the deceased men could not be attributed to him ; and such being the

      c-ise , they reed no farther connect Bradburn with the qu- stion before them . It appeared that the drivers of engines Nos . 1 and S 2 , could , with only a moderate degree of C 3 re and attentian to the signals , have avoided the dreadful calamity which kil'ed two , and had nearly killed them alL It did not , hovreyer , appear that Brown was in the Jeast criminal , for he did his best to stop in time ; but Simpson neglected every caution , and bo kille 1 himself and his comrade , and might have slaughtered many others by his wicked rosaces . Now what was the Jaw as it bore upon Simpson ? Tkcy found by the evidence that thi 3 man mined recklessly on , despite of ali caution and warning of danger , with a ponderous aad mighty engine that might have made its way through a massive battlement , and by this atrocious

      wauvj . Mi ^ iSS , causing his own death , the death of another , and nearly the deaths of many other parsons . X ) w tao law fcaid , that , ii a man having received every ciation , and hiving becH kirnestly entreated nut to do * ush a thing , should enter a powder mill w .- . h a lighted candle , and thereby cause the de ;; th of himself and others , he would , at the same time , bo fc uuty of suicide an . } murder . Of this decision , in such a case , there could not be the eiii ^ h test doubt ; the decision would be the same evtn in a less aggravated case , ftir it was recorded that a man had been executed for throwing a brick ou : of a window , which killed a pe ^ -son passing below , although the man had not seen the pitsenger . The law inferred murder from the wicked negligence of the criminal in not having taken

      care to see that the way was clt 3 r before he threw out the brick , a 3 he knew it must fall into a street , which was a place of constant thoroughfare . The negligence in this case was made , and justly made , the same as malice aforethought—a malevolence of disposition towards all human kind , and , therefore , tuo act was justly punished as murder . Again , suppose there was a road leading to a precipice , and a nun driving a coach along this road was cautioned to beware of the precipice—suppose that he was told by those who knew the way , " When you see a red light hoisted , you are to take that as the signal of danger , and a warning that you should approach no further "—suppose that the driver seeing the red signal , should yet drive on , and , vrhtn near tt e precipice , should there get off and save himself , -while the others were hurried to destruction

      —what offcDca would this man be guilty of in the eye of the law ? Of murder—of murder , and nothing short cf it Judge Foster laid it do wn that if a person warned of consequences , and yet regardless of them , should obstinately persevere in conduct that must necessarily be followed by death , and if death should ensue , the man would be guilty of murder . Nothing could be plainer than this proposition , and if the law were not so severe , there might ultimately be no safety for life or property . But , of course , extenuating oircumstancas in euch a case should , if they existed , be considered in favour of , the culprit Judge Foster again stated that if a man , in the pursuit of his ordinary oo cupation , see danger to others likely to result from bis acts , and shonld yet persevere after having reoeivad EuiScient warning , if then death should siiiue , he would

      Untitled Article

      be guilty ef murder ; as in the ease of a workman throwing stones ox rubbish , and thereby killing a person negligently or unconsciously , " then general malignity should be inferred , and the act shonld amount to murder fr « m its gross impropriety . " So , if a person having a cart should drive over ana kill persons with it , after doe notice had been given to beware , and that he raw what was likely to happen , the driver would then be guilty of murder . Now this latter cose and opinion were completely in point The act of Simpson must , after the manifold evidence the jury had received , be regarded at one proceeding from a deliberately wicked disposition , regardless of bis own life and of the welfare of human society . In this case , the unfortunate author of the calamity , Simpson , who was now no more , and whom no verdict could reach , and of

      whom , therefore , he ( the Coroner ) would speak with leas scruple , ke ( Simpson ) seumod to have been , beyond a doubt , actuated by a wicked recklessness of his own life and of the lives of others , and he ( the Coroner ) believed that in consequence of Simpson ' s criminal wantonness , bia own life , and that of the unfortunate Dawson , were lost . Having now recapitulated all the facts of the case , it remained for him ( the Coroner ) but to say , he was sure the jury would not fail U return a verdict which would impress on the minds of all persons connected with railways , not only what the law was upon this subject , but also what great and weighty responsibilities the servants of railways would incur by disobedience of orders , or disregard ef those obligations which have b » en imposed upon them by the duties of their station . With these remarks he would leave the csse in their hands .

      The Court was now cleared of strangers , and , after & discussion of nearly three hoars , again opened ; when , at twelve o ' clock , the foreman read , to an audience , which listened with the most intense anxiety , the following special verdict : — " We find a verdict in the case op William Dawson , 'Wilful Murder' against Joseph Simpson ; and in the case of Joseph Simpson ' Felo de Se . ' We impose a deodand of Two Thousand Pounds on the engink and tender 8 i No . 15 and No . 82 . " With respect to Bradburn , the Jury have felt consideribie difficulty in not agreeing to a verdict of manslaughter , and they hex to express their sense of the grew impropriety of his leaving h \ B engine without putting it on the siding , and of his leaving it at all in the situation which proved so dangerous . "

      Mr . Kotch , the foreman , then read the following observations of the Jury : — " The Jury cannot conclude their labours without pxpr « ssing their surprise and regret at the manifest inefficiency of the executive of the company connected with the matters that have come before them in this inquiry . The directors seem to have passed and printed many excellent rules and resolutions , which have been neglected to be carried out and enforced ; while in some instaucca printed instructions have been given to a class of men unable from want of education to read them , and m some cases persona appear to have been put on as drivers of engines , having the whole conduct of the trains , without being duiy qualified for the purpose .

      " The Jury consider great blame is attributable ; to tha directors for continuing in their service such & reckless driver as the unfortunate man Simpson , and they are forcibly struck with the ignorance of the executive of the numerous acts of disobedience and wanton carele 33 ness on his part , which have been produced before them in evidence . " Considering the immense importance to the public of safe conduct in a mode of conveyance over which they are deprived of all conti-oul , or when in motion even of the power of remonstrance or complaint , and are entirely at the mercy of t !» e engine driver .

      "The jury feel the public have a right to expect that some person of superior education and attainments , as an engineer , should ba appointed aa a captain of each train , to proceed with it , and conduct it to its final destination . Tho night signals are evidently insufficient , and yet no efficient means seem to have been adopted to improve them , while it i 3 evident that no security can be attained until a means of communication between the guards and the engine drivers ia established . To all which matters the jury feel ic is the boundea duty of the directors to turn their immediate and earnest attention . " The verdict excited a very extraordinary sensation throughout the court .

      The Corouvr then said that , in consequence of tho verdict ihat kad just been returned , trie inquisition would ocor . py a Considerable time , * o as to bu drawn up with the requisite care and exactitude . He , therefore , was unuer the uccssity of requesting the goniieuieu 0 ! the jury to come again upon a future day , for tLa purpose of signing the inquisition . Af . 'er the inquiry haa been conducted with so much ability and exemplary patience , it would indeed be truly lamentable if the object that they had chiefly sough ; bbould bo frustrated by not having the inquisition properl y drawn up ; and they must have ¦ vtu how inquisitions had been set aside , upon what he in us : call frivolous pretences . He , therefore , -it \ th < i \ i for a little timo to prepare one wiilch should stand tho bruat of future examination or inquiry elsewhere . The Jury entirely approved this forethought on the pan , of the Learned Coroner .

      Mr . Rotch and . his colleagues now desired that JBradburu , the driver of eiif ; uie No . 15 , should be = ent for , in order to have the foregoing verdict and remarks read to him , but up- > n inquiry they found thai Bradburu , as well as every other person connected with the railway , had hastily quitted the preiaises . Mr . Jago then addressed the Coroner on behalf of Lord North wick , the Lord of the Manor , and put in the following extraordinary claim to the deodand : — " TO THOMAS WAKLEV , ESQ ., M . P ., CORONER FOR THE COl / AXV OF MIDDLESEX . ¦

      ROYAL BULLETINS EXTRAORDINARY . ( From the Satirist . ) As we participate in the universal and laudable curiosity to be informed of every particular of interest connected with our beloved Queen and her infant Princess , we have been at great pains to ascertain tho occurrences of each day in the present week , which we now lay before our readers , merely observing that the authenticity of each paragraph may be relied upon : —

      MONDAY . Her Maj osty having passed a quiet night , and being anxious to have the Princess's wardrobe examined , the Duchess of Sutherland arrived at the Palace this morning to perform that important portion of her functions as Mistress of the Robesnamely , to investigate the state of the royal clouts and flannels . She immediately dispatched a messenger , commanding the attendance of Miss Mary Moore , " Sempstress to the Great Wardrobe , " who laid before the Duchess the following inventory of dilapidated linen : — Three night-flannels—two wanting strings , and one very much creased in the mangling . Three parts of one day-flannel . Half a day-flannel , very much creased and damaged . A dozen clouts—seven extremely seedy , three darned , and a couple considerably cobbled . Two coarse muil-muslin frocks , very clean .

      One jaconet frock , the body worked with large wreaths of German Bausages . One carabrick frock , worked round the bottom with a rolling-pin and salt-box alternately ; tiie front embroidered with two distinct rows of saveloys , between which are huge ornamental bunches of dandelion . A robe intended to be used on great Occasions , the trimmings of narrow peuny-a-yard edging ; two large tassels hanging from the shoulders of best British cotton ; the body confined by a broad band of second-best tape . Two infant day caps , a great deal the worse for wear ; presented by the Qgbkn Dowager , she not having any further occasion for the same . Two infant night-caps , the borders considerably torn and rather ragged , presented by the same exalted personage from the most patriotic motives .

      Every unfavourable symptom having passed away , the Queen has our permission to be afflicted with all the Court toadies and hangers-on as often as she chooses . ( Signed ) James Clark , M . D . Charles Locock , M . D . Robert Ferguson , M . D . R . Blagdkn .

      TUESDAY . Her Majosty having been disturbed by the Royal infant ' s cries from internal anguish , the nurses Lilly and Packer were rung up long before daybreak to allay its pains , and a patent dose of Daiby ' B Carminative j administered by Nurse Packer , Nurse Lilly holding the diminutive infantile proboscis between her forefinger and thumb , to produce an extension of the royal jaw * . This morning Prince Albert was permitted to take a walk iu the flatver-garden , but was cautioned not to gather anything . He amutsoti himself by throwing stones at the sparrows , which were hopping up

      and down the gravel-walks , aud having broken a pane of glass in one of the hot-houses , he was turned out , and sent crest-fallen homo by the head gardener . A messenger from Messrs . Seddou arrived to-day at Buckingham Palace , to ascertain wnat Messrs . Saddon were to do with the gilt plume of Prince of Wales ' s feathers , manufactured by them to surmount the cradle , in case of a boy having made his appearauce ; ho was told to tfll Messrs . Seddon to pepper them well , aud lay them in lavender for the 7 iext nine viontfts , when they probably might be wanted . Seudon's man being a lively youth , with a fine car for melody , went away

      singing—Hopo told a flittering tale Tfl . at there would be a boy ; But alas it ia a girl . Which spoils poor daddy ' s joy . Next time we'll hope that Vic More fortunate may be , And when she ' s taken sick , A Prince of Wales we'll see . ( Signed as before . ) WEDNESDAY . An express arrived from Hanover to-day , bringing

      an account of a very fearful vision which the King of Hanover beheld on Saturday fortnight , during ihe precise time of the Royal lying-in . His whitowhi ^ kcred Majei-ty thought that he was domiciled at G ' reiUfs-end , where he beheld the Royal accuueuement , and startod out of his bed exclaiming in tones expressive cf tho most heartfelt grief and terror— " It rises like the isBue of a Queen , And bears upon its baby brow the round And top of Sovereignty !"

      Tho terrified Hanoverian Majesty was only soothed by being assured that Vicioria ' a situation was a very dangerous one , and that , he shouid receive tho earliest intelligence of the Throne's being ouopty . Hor Majesty passed a restless night , hor thoughts running in the dog kennel in Windsor park , and on her favourite monkeys . She dreamt that all her animals wore half starved , aud dispatched Albert off eo them , laden with a tin case full of Royal dog ' s meat and a small kettle of monkey ' s broth , with strict injunctions to come back immediately after he had taken his lunch . On his return Albert was overtaken by a thick tog , whiclieo completely my stifled him , that instead of finding his waj to Buckingham Palace , he found himself at tho door of a parish union workhouse , where beiu # taken for a German pauper , he was offered to be admitted and kept at the public expanco . ( Stoned as before . )

      TIIURSDAT . The Queen Dowager having intimated her intention of visiting Q-iOiiH Vic to-day , aa additional sack of b ' awdust was laid down in the auto-chamber , as a mark of respect , to the royal visitor . She was handed iu by Albert , and , after toeing off a pint of hot caudlo , she put on her spectacles , and proceeded to a minute examination of the illustrious infant . Sundry indentations on its posteriori having attracted old AUelaidtj ' s attention , iu answer loner inquiries , she was informed that theso marks wore occasioned by the kisses of tho great officers of State , who never missed an opportunity oi kissing that , part of rovaliy .

      A great commotion took place in the Palace in the afternoon , iu consequence of a loud cry for pap—tho nutriment the roya ^ infant received from JSfurso Packer not boin ^ sufficient to satisfy the cravings of the infautilo -internals . All tho pap having been exhausted , and Mrs . Packer possessing a poetic genius , she described the unsuccessful visit of her coadjutor Nurse Lilly to the empty pap closet , iu the following exquisite nursery ballad , which sh « warbled the hungry child io sleep with : — Old Mother Lilly Looked very ally When she went to the cupboard for pap , For the cupboard was bare , And none she found there , To feed tho cross babe in her lap ; So the jolly old daudle

      Quick caught up some caudL , Aa Royalty's brat must be fed—And not having pap For the babe iu her lap , Why , she crainniad it with , caudle instead . ( Signed aa before . )

      FRIDAY . Her Majesty having progressed rapidly and most satisfactorily to a state of perfect salubrity , this day the medical staff wore released from their constant attendance upon her , which they wore not sorry for , so many ladies of quality having , out of compliment to the Queen , contrived to place themselves m similarly interesting situations . There was , conse queutly , a high scramble for Dr . Zo-cock , this being the time of year when Hymen's " Annuals" am about to issue from the press , and are presented by ladies to their husbands in the shapes of " Keepsakes , " "Forget-me-Nots" aad sometimes as "Friendship ' s Offerings . " Aioert

      rnuce , as ne was passing up ana aown one of the sumptuous apartments of Buckingham Palace , while waiting the arrival of his nag , could not help contrasting that royal residence with the poverty-struck dwelling he used to oocupy a floor in at Saxe Gotha , and gave utterance to his feelings in the following prettily turned parody on

      " the old house at home . " Oh ! the Old House at Home ! that poor dirty shed , Where on tough Yarman Sausage an < i garliek I fed ; Where , until Queen Tic took me "for better and ¦ wowe , " I'd a coat full of holes , and a ni « d empty parse . I ' ve cmt the vile crib , and ne'er will I roam To tb * t rotten old pig-sty , the Old Hoase at Home !

      Ob , now I dress decent , and sleep In a bed—Id a palace I live and on dainties am fed ; I ' ve plenty of rhino , and strut about proud , Because I ' ve a baby to show to the crowd ; To make -which royal brat , John Bull bribed me to roam From that rotten old pig-sty , the Old Hoase at Home I

      * " ' ' . ^ PALACE INTELLIGENCE . ( From the Court Correspondent of th » Satirist . ) : Buckingham Palace , Dec . 1 . Scawely had the aacitenent subridid , occasioned by the great caudle question , when another subject , equally momentous , has thrown us again into alarm . The nursea are again in peril . -Nurse Packer ' s voice ia not considered sufficiently musical to sing the Royal lullaby . , Three o'Clock , p . K . The Council has just broke up ; the following minute was agreed to : — " Nurse Packer ' s voice must be Gennaniaed or Italianised—better the latter . "

      Messengers were immediately dispatched to the Continent for three first-rate singers ; in the meantime two Italian professors , the best now in London , are to give lessons to Nurse Packer till the others arrive . May Heaven hear our prayer , and grant Norse Packer may be able to profit by her lessons ! P . S . The Italian singers have arrived . Wednesday Morning , Eleven o'Clock . Nurses Packer and Lilly are now taking lessons ; we are all in a state of feverish anxiety to know the result Two o'Clock , P . K . A Cabinet Counoil is now sitting . The singers and nurses ore present ; a piano-forte is just taken into the Council Chamber . Her Majesty has again declared " the lullaby must ; be Italianised . " The crisis is approaching . Three o'Clock , P . n .

      The struggle is partly over , aud our beloved Queen will be gratified , and the Princess Royal will not be lulled to sleep by vulgar English . Tbe nursea are declared sufficiently capable to accomplish the following ditty , which it is fervently hoped at present will satisfy the Court : — Lullibi Royal babino , Oa the tree topo , When irindini blowso Cradiftu will rocko , If the bows breako , The cradela will fall , And down comes cradela , Royal babiuo and all .

      THE ROYAL CHRISTENING ILLUMINATION . WHAT OUGHT THE CHARTISTS TO DO ! Craving permission of the Editor ef the Star , I -will tell them . Here is a verse more appropriate than beautiful , the production of t » ur own Republican Byron , and which I would advise you to adopt as a motto for the occasion , either for your flags or transparencies . Two yards of white calico and two pennyworth of black paint would accomplish all , and one shilling would more than cover the expences . Who would lose the opportunity , then ? Lose no time ; get it ready : speed , speed , I say ; there cannot be too many of them . It ia perfectly legal , and in every respect quite true . " England expects that every man will do his duty . " . Believe me , Yours , respectfnlly , H . GftiFFiXHS , Edgvrare Road . " Great joy to London now ! " says some great fool , When London had a grand illumination , Which to that bottle conjuror , John Bull , Is of all dreams the first hallucination ; So that tho streets of coloured lumps are full , That sage ( said John ) surrenders at discretion His purse , his soul , his sense , and even his nonsense , To gratify , like a huge moth , this one sense .

      v ' FROM OUK LONDON COKUiiSFOSDENX . Teetotal Liberality . —Since tho publication and discussion of the address , signed by H . Vincent , as well as the Editor of the Northern Star , &c , recommending temperance to the working classes , the religions teetotallers have been very activo in disclaiming all connection with politics . One of them addressed a letter to the Editor of the Alornilig Chronicle , in which journal the address first appeared , stating that they tho ( teetotallers ) entirely repudiated any political principles among their members ; to which the Editor of the Ch > onicl § very justly replied , that " because certain persons calling themselves teetotallers , chose to prohibit politics at

      their meetings , that was no reason why persons profefsing political opinions shou'd not also become teetotallers . " But the first practical blow against political teetotallers was struck a few days since , in the expulsion of a dissenting minister belongin g to the Kenc-street ( Southward ) branch of the British and Foreign Total Abitiuence Society , wiio w ; w discovered to be also a Chartist . When the Chartists of the neighbourhood learned what had taken place , they made a muster , and at tho n <* xt meeting of the teetotallers , brought forward a resolution ( which they carried ) in approval oi the liberty of political opinions , and freedom in their avowals . A vote of thanks to the minister for hia manliness in

      relinquishing his connection rather than disavow hiy honest opinions was alao adopted , and a subscription has been set on foot to testily by a more substantial token , the estimation in which the people of Camberweil , Soutliwark , &c , hold those who " suffer for the- cause of the Charter" ; aa well as to mark their detestation of the petty tyranny that wouid confine to a sect what is meant for mankind . I have been favoured with the sight of a private letter , received this day , from Nottingham , in which the following passage occurs , aud wliicli I have

      permission to lay before the readers of the Star : — " A great part ot the extensive population of this fine town are now actually walking the streets with no shoes to their fyct , through the oppression of their masters , giving thorn for their labour , scarcely enough to buy bread . I witnessed a heari-rending scene this morning , the turning out of between thrt-e aud four hundred females for wages in the lace trade ; all of them would bo fine women if they had good food and clothes , buc those things cannot be procured out of haif-a-crown or three shillings per week .

      A MOST singular document has recently been brought to light , and is now in the possession of the Rev . Wm . Arther , of East Peckham : U appears to have been written by the celebrated OLD PARR , who attained the almost incredible age of one hundred and fifty-two years , and who left this document to a relation : it is written ou parchment , and although upwards of two hundred years old is in an excellent state of preservation . The following i » an extract : — " These do certifie yt ye undermentioned is ye method of preserving health , which by ye grace of Almighty God has caused me to attain to my miraculous old age . Albeit in my youth I was afflicted with ye Bloody Flux and King's Evil , bnt wbiok all left me by using some dayesye herbs asheriu written . "

      Here follows the receipt : — M Moreover , I bequeath to my second Great Grandson ye method I employ for preparing ye medioament . Given this day , and in ye 147 th year of my a >! * « Thomas Pabb . " " Winnington , Salop , Januarie 17 th , 1630 . " This singular character waa the oldest man , with one exception , that England ever produced : hit biographer says , " the days of his youth , according to his own account , was a Beriea of Ion * and painful illness , but that by some se « ret means he cured himself , and was stronger than moit men when he married his first wife , whioii he did at the advanoed age of eighty-eight ; he again married » t theamaeing age of ono hundred and twenty ; at one hundred and thirty h » used to thresh corn , and do * ny laborious work . He had seen ten King * and Queen * of England .

      Parr spent muck of his time in the study of the vegetable world , and has fortunately left behind him , though long hid to the world , the valuable fruits of his labours . Besidea the valuable receipt from which Parr ' s Pills are now compounded , there are several MSS ., pieces written in hip old quaint style , on the vaino of health ; his opinions , though somewhat differently expressed , vrer « tn * t the varieties of clime and modes of living make but little difference to our period of existence—that the laws of nature are simple and easily understood , but they require perfect obedience .

      The Clergyman who holds the valuable document abovtmentioned , has , by the assistance of a v « ry able chemist and physician , caused the receipt of Old Park ' s to be made into Pills , and although only a space of eighteen months have elapsed since the trial , upwards of seven hundred cures have been effected ; more than one-half were oon » idered incurable ; and what is more remarkable , cues which possess the very opposite ! as regards outward symptoms : the balsamic and invigorating effects on the blood produced by these medicines it perfectly miraculous : many who have kept their beds for

      years have been so speedily re-invigorated with an infupion of now blood , and consequently of new life and strength , that their re-appearance amongit their fellow-beings , who had long given them up as incurable , is looked upon as the greatest of the many great wonders of this mir » culou « ago . The whole of our system is built up from the blood—nerves , sinews , muscles , aud even solid boue ; this being the case , the gr * nd object is to keep this ^ reciou « fluid ( the blood ) in a pure and healthy stite , for without thirf purity disease will show itself in some way or other .

      Cases of every description have all been oared simply by the use of Parr's Lifi Pills , thus showing that what has been considered different disorders , aud requiring different treatment , all riginatwl in the sarno cause , and can bo cursd by one uniform treatment . Although powerful in conquering disease , they sre as pare and harmless » s new Milk , and may be administered with confidence to the invalid , however weakly from long ill healtk , who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health , namely , good appetite , sound sleep , and an increase of auimai spirits . To have produced a medicine so benign and aild in its operation and effects , aud yet so effectual in searching out and curing disease of howaver long standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research and a thorough knowledreof his subject .
