The inquiry by Mr. Barlow the Lunacy Commissioner respecting the

sanity of Mrs. Catherine Cumming is not yet completed. The speeches of the counsel—each of them a day long—were finished yesterday ; the Commission- er sums up today; and the verdict of the Jury will probably be given on Monday, which will be the sixteenth day of the proceedings.

The Council of the Society of Antiquaries of London having appointed a committee of four of the Fellows of the Society to examine the remains of the ecclesiastic found in the chapel of St. Stephen, the members of the commit- tee attended yesterday, under an idea that they would be permitted to make a full and proper examination. The order, however, given them by Mr. Barry was merely such as has for some days been supplied to the public, and did not empower them to unwrap the body. It was stated that Lord Seymour must give his consent ere any further research could be made. The committee, therefore, [injured gentlemen !) could do no more at present than secure for the Society a correct drawing of the remains as they were dis- covered.—Tirnes.
