THE KIDWELLY TIN WORKS, CLOSE TO THR TOWN; ALSO, A VALUABLE WHARF AND WATER FRONTAGE, HELD FOR NINETY- SEVEN YEARS, AT ONLY FOUR POUNDS A-YEAR. —— MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to submit to PUBLIC SALE, at the AUCTION MART, oppo- site the Bunk, on THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, at Twelve, in One Lot, by direction of the Mortgagee, under a positive power of Sale, The extensive and valuable Tin Works, with posses- sion, situate close to THE BOROUGH OF KIDWELLY, and not far distant from the sea, Carmarthen, and Swansea. They have been completed at an immense cost, are perfect in every department, admirably arranged for conducting this profitable business, "the manufacture of tin-plates," with the utmost dispatch and advantage. The buildings are numerous and occupy a specious area, including excellent dwellings for the proprietor and men The machinery combines all the recent improvements for the complete success of the establishment, and the water- courses throughout the year afford nmple power, though it must be conceded that the introduction of steam could easily be accomplished, and would materially increase the capability of the works. There is an inexhaustible supply of the best coal (an important matter) close at hand, at moderate cost. Also, A WHARF AND STOREHOUSE, with frontage to the river Gwendraeth, close to the bridge, and within the borough of Kidwelly, used for the shipment of goods. The proximity of the South Wales Railway, which is in rapid progress, to the works will not only afford an easy transit for the goods, but open an access to all parts and it is believed that from the many advantages appertaining to these works, a more favour- able opportunity for embarking in the business has never before occurred. The Premises may be viewed, and particulars had, at the Inns at Kidwelly, Carmarthen, and Swansea; of Messrs. Edwards, Mason, and Co., 8, Moorgate-street; at the Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent Garden. BOROUGH OF MERTHYR TYDVIL. Coed-y-Cymmer, Parish of Vaynor, Breconshire. To be Sold by Private Contract, mil AT VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, X NEWTOWN, or GODRE COED, containing by admeasurement 26 Acres, more or less, of excellent Arable and Pasture Land, with a valuable Right of Common on the adjoining Hills. The above Property, from its contiguity to Cyfarthfa Iron Works, is admirably adapted and in great demand, from its unparalleled advantages, as Building Ground, and offers to the fortunate Purchaser the opportunity of carrying into effect the original plan of Rhoderick Gwynne, Esquire, of Buckland, of building a Town as above-named, which was commenced by the erection of Messuages and Tenements, forming a street from the Gwynne's Arms upwards. There are invaluable Veins of Sand of three feet depth and above on this property: also a Stone Quarry which produced to the former Proprietor a leturn of JH200 per annum. The quality is excellent, and, being in layers of convenient thicknesses, may be worked at a trifling ex- pense. Lime cheap and in the immediate vicinity. As sites for Manufactories the situation cannot be ex- celled being bounded on the east by a river called '«Taff Vechan Taff Vawr" running through a part of it on the west, and on the south their confluence the « TaST." An Iron Foundry on an extensive scale, to meet the enormouslv increasing demand for railway apparatus and steam engines, would be a highly-eligible investment o Capitalists; the present Owner will have no objection to appropriate one-fourth of the purchase money m a scheme concocted agreeably to the above purpose, as the abundant supply of Sand and Stoue on the Premises cannot tail rendering the speculation eminently successful. Among other valuable properties attached to this fa- vored spot is the unique qualification of conferring on Lessors the right of voting on the same tenement for the County of Brecon and also for the Borough of Merthyr. It would be needless to remind the Purchaser of the extent of Patronage which he will acquire by granting Building leases included in the said Borough of Merthyr, and pos- sessing the proverbial salubrity of this healthful district of the Parish of Vaynor. The Estate is now in the possession of WILLIAM CRAWSHAY, Esquire, as Lessor for the term of Ninty-nine Years about Thirteen Years of which have expired, at a rent of Eighty Pounds per annum. By the condi- tions of the said Lease, the whole of the Property is reclaimable for building and other purposes, at such times and in such quantities as the Proprietor for the time being may require, by payment to the said William Crawshay, Esquire, at the rate of One FaIthmg per Superficial Yard per annum for the ground so taken. The usual provisions for the extraction and carrymg away of Minerals, Stone, Sand, &c., include terms equally To all who are acquainted with Godre Coed and its vicinity this outline will appear but an imperfect escrip- tion of its acknowledged pretensions.. For further Particulars apply, post-paid, to the Propri- etor, Mr. HENRY JONES, Heathfield, near Cardiff.

TIIE STANDARD OF COGNAC. rpHE BEST COGNAC BRANDY is the produce of I a tract of land in France, well known as THE CHAMPAGNE DISTRICT. To meet a demand, greatly disproportionate to the CHAMPAGNE DISTRICT. To meet a demand, greatly disproportionate to the supply afforded by so limited an area, the Foreign Traders I in the article were notoriously in the habit of adulterating it with other Brandies, of an inferior quality and they, thereby, induced a great number of the Proprietors of the best Vineyards in that distrirt, to establish a Company, in the year 1838, under the name of THE UNITED VINE- YARD PROPRIETORS' COMPANY for the purpose of counteracting the baneful effects of such fraudulent prac- tices upon the character of the Cognac Brandy, and of enabling the Public to obtain through them the genuine article. The reputation which the Company now enjoys, in the Market, is the strongest proof of the fidelity with which they have hitherto effectuated the purposes for which they were formed. This Company has engaged to supply Messrs. BETTS & Co., as appears by the following letter "Cognac, 14th March, 1846. Messrs. Betts & Co., London.

THE FLOGGING CASE AT HOUNSLOW.
THE FLOGGING CASE AT HOUNSLOW. On Monday morning Mr. Wakley, the coroner for Middlesex, the deputy coroner, Mr. Mills, and the jury who were impanelled to inquire into the circumstances touching the death of Frederick White, private of the 7th Hussars, re-assembled, by adjournment, at the George IV. public-house, near Hounslow Barracks, at half-past nine o'clock. The jury having been called over, James Elmsworth, a private of the 7th Hussars, was then called by the coroner. On being sworn he said-I was present at the punishment of the deceased, on the 15th June, when he was tied up by the hands and legs. He received the punishment in a verydangerous manner; for the farrier major, Charles Critten, rose upon his toes every time he struck the deceased. The other farrier, Evans, did not indict the punishment in so severe a manner when he was ordered to do his duty by the adju- tant of the regiment. This was before 100 lashes were inflicted. After this Evans appeared to strike harder. I could not say whether this order was given by the colonel to the adjutant. The colonel was standing on the left hand. I was present at Hampton Court barracks when the offence was committed by deceased for which he was punished. It was about 8 o'clock in the evening. Deceased was stripped, and came from the side of his bed with the poker on his shoulder. He was aggravated by the sergeant, previous to this, and he advanced to the ser- geant and struck him slightly on his breast. It did not appear to take any effect on him. The sergeant ran away, when the deceased made another blow at him and fell down himself forward with the poker. Could not say whether it was from the force of the blow or from a stumble. White appeared to be a little intoxicated. The sergeant called out to Corporal Mollis to confine the deceased. Llewellen Lewis, the registrar of births, deaths, and marriages, for thk- district of Isleworth, said sergean Potter subsequently came and produced to him a following: — "Private Frederick White of the 7th Hussars, died 11th of July, 1840, aged 25 years and It months, Disease, inflamma- tion of the heart. JAMES L. WARREN, M.D., Surgeon 7th Hussars." William Brent, constable, stated that when he went to the barracks, saw Dr. Warren, who said a man had been flogged about five weeks before, but he got quite well, and had died of pleurisy, or disease of the heart, and there was no occasion for an inquest. Richard Evans, one of the farriers who punished the deceased, said-No complaint was made that I struck too severely. It is left to a man to use his discretion. Dr. Warren's evidence was then offered, on which the coroner cautioned him that, as it was voluntary, it might be used as evidence hereafter. He said I am surgeon to the 7th Hussars, and was present as the medical officer at the punishment of White. It is customary in the British army that a surgeon shall be present whenever punishment takes place. I examined the man most mi- nutely on the morning of his trial and after to asceltain if he was in a fit state of health to undergo punishment, imprisonment, or otherwise. I gave the certificate of his state of health to the sergeant who brought White to me, who then took him and the certificate before the Court. I always see a man before punishment. It was not necessary for me, at the punishment, to give any orders with respect to the deceased. He made no appeal whatever to me during the punishment. I was two or three yards from him. He did not faint nor make any convulsions. I saw him the following morning, at my usual visit at ten o'clock. I believe I then saw his hack. I did not order any change from low diet for him until several days after he came into the hospital. The back was healing rapidly about 10 days or a fortnight—no sloughing-discharge pretty free, but there was no smell. I did not examine him with a stethescope. He made no complaint. In my opinion, inflammation of the heart was the cause of death. John Hall, graduate of the University of St. Andrew's, and fellow of the Koyal College of Surgeons in London, was then called, and confirmed the statement of Doctor Warren. "COPY OF A CERTIFrCATE WHICH WAS DRAWN UP AND SIGNED BY THE PARTV I'LTBSENT AT THE POST MORTEM EXAMINATION, FOR THE SATISFACTION OF THE OFFICER COMMANDING THE 7TIt HUSSASS. II Cavalry Barracks, Ilounslow, July 13, 18IG. Having made a careful post mortem examination of private Frederick White, of the 7th Hussars, we are of opinion that he died from inflammation of the pleura and of the lining membrane of the heart; and we are further of opinion that the cause of death was in nowise connected with the corporeal punishment he received on the 15 June last. (Signed) JOHN HALL, M.D., Staff Surgeon, First CtMS J. L. WAllHEN, M.D., Surgeou, 7th Ilussars F. READ, M,D., Assistant Stall' Surgeon." Horatio Grosvenor Day, a member of the College of Surgeons, and licentiate of the society of Apothecaries, residing at Isleworth, was next sworn. He said, as to the cause of death, I have not been able to form so good an opinion as those who were previously examined but, I suppose death may be attributed to the usual causes- changes of the temperature and sudden exposure to cold. That is my opinion. Mr. Erasmus Wilson, of Charlotte-street, Fitzroy- square, on being sworn stated, that he was a Fellow of the College of Surgeons of England, lecturer of anatomy and physiology, in the Middlesex Hospital, and some years demonstrator of anatomy at the University College. By the Coroner.-I have written two works on the skin, one of which is entitled "The Anatomy, Physiology, &c., of the Skin," which, I am happy to say, is now out of print. Mr. Wilson then read the report of his examination :-On Wednesday. July 22, I made a post mortem examination of the deceased. Mr. Day was with mp. my attention being especially directed to his back and spine. On the skin over each sho'ildcr there were marks of lashes, on the right of the middle line between the shoulders there was a large gap, occasioned by the removal of a portion of the skin. A small bottle, containing a piece of skin, was handed to W by the sergeant of police. I took the skin from the bottle, and found that although much shrunk by immersion in spirits of wine, while the gap from which it had been removed was stretched to its utmost, yet, that it corresponded with the gap. with the exception of the side nearest the middle line, where a part had been cut away and lost. On raising the muscles or flesh from off the ribs and spine I found a part of the di epest layer of couscies-naiiiely, that which lay in contact with the boiies —in a state of disorganisation, and converted into a soft pulp: in medical language I should call this a pulpy soften- ing of the muscles. The seat of this pulpy softening was the sixth and seventh ribs, near their attachment to the s|iine, together wirh the intervening space, and lilehollow between the six and seventh pieces of the spine. The extent of the disorganisation was about three inches in length by about an inch and half in greatest breadth, and between a quarter and half an inch in thickness. In the space between the nbs, the muscles had undergone this pulpy alteration, even so deep as the lining membrane of the chest, the softened mus- cles being in absolute contact with the lining membrane, I hat portion of the flesh which occupied the groove of the spine and had undergone a similar disorganisation, was one of the little muscles known to medical men under the name of the muHifidus spinas In addition to softening, this little muscle was partly surrounded wi'.h blood. It was ill a state medically called ecchymoses. The interior of the spine was in a state of extreme decomposition. The issue between the spinal canal in the spinal sheath was tined with a dark coloured fluid resulting from decomposition; the sheath itself was smooth and polished on its internal surface, a state indicative of health it was perfectly devoid of nervous substance, which had been converted into fluid by decomposition, and had Bowed away. The nerves rem^iued and presented a healthy appe.arance, so that so far as the spine is concerne^ discovered no indication of disease. Two questions natiiM'JJ arise out of the preceding examination—^viz, first, what |j cause of the pulpy softening of the muscles? second, co#^ the state of disorganization preceding the pulpy softening flnence the disease exis'ing in the chest ? The cause of pulpy softening I believe to have been the excessive c""j traction of the muscles taking place during the agony 0 punishment This excessive contraction would Pr0^"C(j laceration and subsequent inflammation of the muscles. a°j the inflammation being reparative would in consequent "j the depressed state of the powers of the nervous system 0 the sufferer be of the disorganised kind, which resul'8. pulpy softening. Had the man lived the disorga<i'*V tiou of the muscles would in time have been iep^'r As regards the second question there can be no doubt lb1' although the cause of inflammation of the contents of the ch^ is cold, acting in conjunction with physical or moral depressifl j and might have been the cause in the case of the deceased, 1 the presence of a portion of muscle, in a state of disorganj^* tion and inflammation in close contact with the lining membr^ ot the chest might be adequate to the production of the effect. Certainly, no surgeon would feel comfortable with gard to the state of his patient, if he were aware of such dao gerous proximity. Mr. Wilson.—I may state that I was astonished at appearance I discovered and I am not at all surprised t" military men should not be prepared for such a state, for i lieve it is not recorded in any work extant. Such a clia°J could hardly be anticipated from corporal punishmcat. j Coroner.—Would deceased have been alive if not been subjected to corporal punishmeut. Mr. Wilson.-No doubt he would have been alive. oø Mr. Day recalled.-I cannot go the length Mr. IVil has in attributing to it the cause of death. After a short conference with the jury the inquest adjourned to Monday. I
