The proportion of inqueßts to deaths in all England is 5 pur cent, or one in every twenty. In London it rises to 7'9 per cent., or one in every twelve and a-half. A " violent death " seems, from B.>me statistics in the * British Medical Journal,' to come to one man in every twenty-tbree. Nothing is more unpleasing than to find that offence has been taken where nonb was intended, and that pain has been given to those who were not guilty of any provacation. Ab the groat end of society ib mutual beneficence, a good man is nlwayß uneasy when he finds himself in opposition to the purposes of life; because, though his conroience may easily acquit him of malice prcpen-sf,, of settled hatred, or contrivances of mischief, vet he seldom can be certain that he has not failed by negligence or indolence, or that he has not been hindered from consulting th« common interest by too much regard to his own ease, or too mnoh indiffereuce to the happincw of others.
