which one of our most enterprising and if spec table merchants james hamilton esq met his death it appeared by the evidence adduced on the coroners inquest held ibis morning at tbe london coffee house cubde- tinostreet that about dusk on saturday even jojt 1mi mr hamilton started alone from his office near the custom house in a cart drawn by a large bay horse shortly afier starting rte fttitae-

her se cond arrival she again applied to hr father to abandon his course of life and do something for his poor wife and on his refusing io do so the daughter and her husband set about saving money and as soon as they had sufficient they remitted it to dillons wife in ireland who landed here about six weeks ago and in propria person made a claim on her busb for n restitution of the conjugal rights or a separate maintenance and on his refusal she summoned him to the policu office where he was ordered i- find bail to answer the very se rious charge against bin in reporting the occurrence it is but fair to mr dillon to soy that he denied the accusa tion and sent or counsel to consult in relation to it before be would tender bail iu tmo having ascertained with certainty to my own mind thru almost all poliiical men of all panics tc more particularly anxious for per sonal aggrandizement than any permanent ar rangements by which the general standnrd of popular information may be raised and thus greater stability be given to the political insti tutions of our country i am apprehensive of the same secret opposition which i have expe rienced and which i know exists to every pro ject of the sort it is therefore my wish that a printing press and weekly pper ftt least devoted to the purpose of advocaiinc the dif fusion ofltierary information amonc all class es of pwpl be established connected with the institution and that printing and book binding in all its branches form a branch of the mechanical occupation of a portioo of the stndeota in the institution it also is my wilt that

throughout with the moral ad religious instruction of the institu tion keing also firmly persuaded that ihe safely of suciety and its proper moral govern ment cannot be sustained without a high re-

cotton and woollen trad of their industry it employs ihe greiierpirt rfihe 500000 tons of shipping actually absorbed in its trade of this vast and lucrative trade about two thirds come to england and
