DEAR STX,
Hongkong, 5th January, 1847.
WHAT 15 SATURAL DEATH?
I am indueal to ask this question from pernaing in the * (China Mail) of 31 ult the pro. cedings of an Inquest bold upon the body of a Chinese named Tong Azam", where the spirt Jury are reported to have returned a verdict of "Lied from naftital causes,”
The auection of the public has been directed in the united kingdom for some years past to the ineth. ciency of Coroners Inquests as at present conducted, the Coroner being generally a lawyer instead of a Medical man--the former being totally ignorant of the subject he is called to enquire into unprepared by previous docation to instime, the investigation be is required to make in the cause of death." by which he is expected to guide the Jury in their de cision. A Surgeon is true, is called, in cases of doubt, to make a post mortem examination of the body, but, as in this case, both Coroner and Jury are incapable of understanding how to apply the Me. dical evidence
Before propoxing Buother question for solution, I would beg to remark, that I have often read the deduptions of Physiologists as to the nature of death, and the various modes and causes of death, but never before heard that a death produced by two blows on the sille and a kick in the belly" could be constrairi ed into death from natural causes.”

I would now renture to propose another question
What is the difference between natural death, and death from cataral causes ?
In this case of Tong Aam according to the report off the evidence in the China Mail," it was proved by two witnesses that the man received two blows on the side and a kick in the groin, and fell down and expired immediately afterwards. It was alse prosted by the Colonial Surgeon who made the post mortem examination, that the spleen was baredi, and 1 pints of blood and serum found in abdominal cavity, the spleen was moreover en-

Public attention is at length directed to the pro- ceedings of the Dutch in the Engen Monk, where contrary to the treaty of 18214, they would appear to bo secretly forming settlements, the effect of which on Brisish commerce cannot fail to be most dirt roúr. | Up At one time there appeared to be every probauility my that our neighbours were mchose to adopt a mère li. |-cen beral policy and were throwing open port aller port in their Eastern possessions to the unrestricted trade of all countries. No satisfactory proof, however, of so desirable on improvement have yet been given, and we fear that the wish of the friends of free Trade was father to the thought; at any rate it can be in no way disadvantageous for the press to comment on what appears to be the Punic faith of Holland which in its intercourse with other commercial such hat habitually displayed the utmost possible bonesty and fair dealing,
