INQUEST AUGUST 14TH, 1843.
BEFORE MR. E. FARNCOMB. CORONER.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Canton--August 4th, 1843.
The British Flag was re-hoisted at the Consulate, on the 14th inst.
Official responsibility to actions.
This was an inquest on the body of James Preston, who died suddenly in the Exchange Room The Jury were summoned to attend on the evening of the 12th (Saturday), but in consequence of the post mortem examination of the Body not being concluded till a late hour, and the Medical Report being requested to be given in writing the Inquest was deferred to the 14th (Monday).
The following evidence was then taken.
Mr. J. W. Bennett, sworn, said
I was informed on Saturday at about 3 o'clock that James Preston the deceased was dying. The deceased kept the Exchange Room for me. On my coming up to see him I found he had expired. During the time that the deceased had been in my employ he had always conducted himself in a sober manner.
I discharged him from the Hospital he seemed weakly and when I saw him going about in the wet. I remonstrated with him, and told him that he ought to employ a man for the purpose.
About five days previous to his decease, he had been sent to the Hospital of Messrs. J. N. ANDERSON.
Mr. Francis Dickens, sworn,
I am Clerk to Mr. Bennett: I was present when the deceased died, he died in the Exchange Room. When I came into the room he was sitting in one of the chairs with his head hanging over the back of the chair. I supported him in my arms and spoken to him, but received no answer, his lips moved as if to speak but he could not do so, and his pulse was scarcely perceptible, I called up a servant and he took hold of his head I went and fetched a Doctor.
The deceased did not recognise me when I came up.
Mr J W. Bennett, Re-examined,
A day or two before the deceased went to the Hospital he complained to me of sickness and a pain in his head. I administered to him an Emetic which gave him considerable relief: the eruption afterwards appearing on his body, I advised him to go to the Hospital.
James Satchell, Surgeon, Sworn--The deceased was in the Hospital under my charge from the seventh to the eleventh instant. His complaint was that of a nettle rash and disordered bowels.
When he left the Hospital he was perfectly well but was weak.
I was sent for on Saturday to see him and on my arrival at the Exchange Room he was dead.
(Signed)
There was no possibility of forming an opinion as to the cause of his death without an internal examination.
I consider that course was necessary.
J. SATCHELL, M. D.
Resident Surgeon, Victoria Seaman's Hospital.
Charles Alexander Winchester,
I am the Acting Colonial Surgeon.-- produce a copy of the notes taken whilst examining the body of the deceased.
The report was then read.
On the Coroner enquiring what was the cause of the deceased's death the witness said,
The signs in the brain led me to suppose that inflammatory action must have existed for some considerable time before death, and from the evidence given, of a sub-acute character.
I consider the immediate cause of death to have been the pressure of a very considerable quantity of serum found at the base of the brain, on that organ (in other words) that it was a case of serious apoplexy.
He must have enjoyed very irregular health From the state of the liver.
(Signed)
CHARLES ALEXANDER WINCHESTER,
Acting Colonial Surgeon.
The Evidence having been summed up, and the Jury being charged to consider their verdict it was returned,
Died by the visitation of God.

Local News--The British Flag was re-hoisted at the Consulate, on the 14th inst.
The only true system of trade is a liberal one, and there can be no greater fallacy, than for the few, to use Official responsibility to actions.
A subject upon which we may congratulate ourselves is the continued healthy nature of this locality ; our national selfishness leads us to regret that this valuable island is one day to be restored; its worth as a commanding position can scarcely be over-rated.
A very fair trade has been doing here both in Straits produce and manufactured goods PEPPER has averaged 50 25 per picul; Rattans still selling at 85, Grey shirtings 68 30, Woollens 84, Pie Leap, on account of large stock is down to $5 50, Saxual Wood, without inquiry, Roin 81 50 no sales.
Opium market unsettled, MALWA $610. PATNA $710 to 720--very little on hand.
Speaking of the latter article, vessels coming up here with a general cargo should not neglect to comprise it, helping off, as it does, heavy stock, it becomes a valuable auxiliary occasionally Alarm has been offered in quantity at $1 15 it will doubtless be available era long as a rough return and calculated for purposes of ballast.
I have no doubt but return freight on native account, might be obtained from Ningpo and other consular ports, indeed some I believe has already been obtained.
Amoy,--11th August, 1843.
Large quantities of Piece Goods have been brought to this market from Hongkong, and prices have given way.
Loose Cottons, far whites. $350 to $360, Greys $290 to $310; Twist $27 to $29.
OPIUM retaining its price, and good Malwa sells readily at $625.
Rice 100; a good harvest.

Mr. Francis Dickens, sworn,
I am Clerk to Mir. Bennett: I was present when the dencased died, he died in the Exchange Room. When I came into the room he was sitting in one of the chairs with his bead hanging over the fuck of the chair. I supported hun in my arms and spoken to him, but received no answer, his lips moved as if to spek but he could not do on, and his pulse was scar- cely perceptible, I called up a servant and he took hold of hie zal i went and fetched a Doctor. The deceased did not recognise one when I came up.
Ar J W. Beaned, Re-examined, A day or two before the deceased went to the Hos. pitul he complained to me of sickness and a pain in Jus heal. I administered to him an Emnetic which gave him considerable relief: the eruption afterwards appearing on his body, I advised him to go to the os pital.
Jamce Satchell, Surgeon, Sworn-The deceased was in the Hospital under my charge from the seventh to the eleventh instant. His eomplaint was that of a nettle rush and disordered bowels.

There was no possibility of forming an opinion us to the cause of his death without an internal examination. I consider that course was necessary.

On the Coroner enquiring what was the cause of the deceased's death the witness said,
The signs in the brain led me to suppose that influm mutory action must have existed for serae considerable time before death, and from the evidence given, of a sgb-acute character. I consider the immediate enese of death to have ben the pressure of a very considerable
quantity of serum found at the case of the brain, on that órgin (in other words) that it was a rese of serious upo, lexy. He must have enjoyed very irregular health Prom the state of the liver.

The recent intelligence from Woosung, the Port of Shanghai ( with which place we have constant com- unication) is to the effect, that a sumber of men are engaged in repairing the ruined fortifications. They were formerly of cud: we are given to under- stand that they are now being feed with granite, sonte of the Opium vessels have recently gone up to the northward, with the intention, doabitess, of establishing other trading stations; it is useless to talk of a limited number of parts for all the coast will be open. The people are eager to trade, and the Mandarina are at Present very cautious in their interference in this matter, nothing but urbanity and kindness is expe- rienced from these dignitaries; certainly upon this coast there exists every outward manifestation of a sincero desire for peace and aliianey.
The immense amount of native toumage which finds its way up the Shanghai river daily, is worthy of remark, as being one of the most protaient features in the Yangtze kiang: they come from North and Sound, but as yet we canunt obtain the particulars of trade the English Ships keep healthy up the river, but the heat has been ahaost insupportable this season.
