      Untitled Article

      the number repotted up to twelre o ' clock on Saturday being twenty eight attacked unco the commenoe ment , there being three new caseHin the Saturday s report , and one death , making rix deaths . There were three new cases reported np to twelve o ' clock to-day , making a total of thirty-ana attaoked , six deaths , and fits recorered . The others were not jet considered ont of danger . Fortunately , there has not been a single case recorded by any of the medial practitioners in the town and parish , and not toe least symptoms of the cholera on board the Warrior ouniridnp opposite the dock-jard although the food , confinement , and general regulations of both th 8 convict ehips are the game . Tne peculiarity of the disease being so exclusively confined to ono vessel , induced us to aek if it was more severe in one part of the hu ! k than the other , and the reply was that

      the whole ef the cases originated in the lower deck , on the startoard side and stern part of the Jnetitia , that part being exactly opposite the mouth of a sewer which empties itself into the Thames . Surely , when that fact beaomes known to the authorities they will not loss a moment in having the vessel removed from her periloas position , or if that cannot be done for a few days , the unfortunate convicts shoald be removed on shore , to some temporaryand secluded barrack , where they would rnn ! e 83 risk of being attacked by the disease . Although the conticte are a proscribed class , humanity requires that eome precautions shtnld be taken to Bare their lives and health , when the origin of the evil which at present tfflicts them on board the Joatitia is so evident , the only part of the vestel liable to injure the inmatei being next the wharf wall , from which a filthy sewer emanates .

      Oct . 16 . —There have been four new cases since twelve o ' clock yesterday , making in all thirty five cases of attack . There has been one death to-day , aad the names of those who died of cholera having been returned , it appears that eight have diedjrf the disease . The follswing are theirname 3 and the date of the days on whichIthey died : —Oct . 3 , Owen Jones ; 7 th , John Rutherford and James Jones ; 8 th , James Bigwood ; 10 th , Jebn Debank ; 13 th , George Mitchell ; 14 th , Williun Eastman ; 16 th , Edward Davins . The number of recoveries are returned five , same as yesterday . No cases , or the leut appearance of cholera , have been returned by

      the medical practitioners mtha town and parish of Woolwich up to twelve o ' clock to-day . So that the disease is gtill exclusively confined to the Jastitia connot hulk , which ought to be immediately ramoved and broken np and burned . The planks of the hulk it appears are rotten , and act as a sponge to absorb the filth of the vessel ; in addition to which , it is moored at the mouth of a common sewer ! The dtipotio Cur of Russia could not sanction a more crnel act than the confinement of prisoners in this charnel house of tha Malihnsian Whigs . WooiwicH . —Several new eases haveoccorred on baard the Jastiiia convict hulk , some of which , it is feared , will terminate fatally .

      Ratcuff Highway . —On Monday Mr Baker held an inqaeit at Ratoliffa Highway , on the body of Sarah M'Keizie , aged ten years , who died in a few hours after an attack of Asiatio Cholera . —Mr T .

The following morning , about ten o ' clock , he was sent for by the mother to see the child , when ha observed to her that she was suffering under an attack of Asiatic , cholera , aad he advised that she should immediately send for medieal assistanoe . She was then fast einkine , and died about eight o ' clock the same evening . —Verdict , Died by the visitation of God . '

      WORSHIP-STREET . - Inoaviioos Saws op Poisoif .-Sarah Richi was iharged , at the instance of the authorities of the London Hospital , witb harm ? attempted to destroy herself by swallowing a largo quantity of laudanum . — Mr Samuel Birob , house surgeon at the hospital , who attended to support the charge , stated that ha felt it kin duty to adopt the proceedings , in consequence of the numerous care ) of a similar kind which had recently oome ueder his professional notice , and the frequent recurrence of wbieh he attributed in a great measure to the indiscriminate and misohievoui manner in

      which poiaons of almost every description were constantly sold over the counters of druggists and other persons who dealt in such artiolea . The prisoner wag brought to the hospital in a state of complete stupefaction on the nignt of Tuesday een'oigbt , and after theusual means had been successfully resorted to to dislodge the poiaon and restore her to consciousness , she voluntarily acknowledged having taken sixpenny worth of laudanum which she had purchased at two different shops , but at neither of which , it appeared , had the slightest precaution been adopted to guard against its improper application . Ths investigation of several previous oases having disclosed the same oulpable want of caution in almost every instance , he was induced to give the prisoner into custody , not so much with a view of

      pressing for her individual punishment , as to place the subjeot under the judioial notice of the magistrate , in the hope that he would be able to suggest some mode ofimpoBingacheck upon the fatal facility at present afforded for the commission of such offerees —Mr Hammil said that he wss perfeotly aware of the serious evils resulting from the practice referred to , but as the law now stood it was entirely without a remedy , and tbe only means of effecting such a desirable object , would be by a direct application to the legislature for the imposition of more stringent provisions to regulate the sale of such drugs than at present existed . —Mr Birch said he had it in con temptation to make an early application to the Seore tary of State for tbe introdnction of some such

      measure , U there OOnld fee little doubt that the horrible cues of poisoning whioh had taken place in an adjoining county wonld never have ccourred if the restrictions upon the sale of such articles had been more severe . The case against the prisoner was then proceeded with , and it appeared fromithe statement of her daughter , that the oocurrenoe had originated in Bome family differences which had excited her mother to suoh a degree that ever since she had been in custody upon the charge she expressed her regret at having failed to accomplish her design , and threatened to repeat the attempt at the first opportunity . —On being asked if Bhe wished to say anything the prisoner gave utteranoe to some incoherent observations whioh left little doubt that she was la

      bouring under mental aberration . —Mr HammU > said that she was manifestly not in a proper state of mind to be safely entrusted with her liberty , and he should therefore remand her for a few days to afford time for deriding upon , tha most advisable course to be adopted for her future disposal . CLERKENWELL—A , Coubaosous Old Laby .-On Wednesday , Edward Marney , who had been formerly convicted , wa » charged by Mr Dempsey , No . 5 , Polygon , Somera Town , with breaking into his house and stealing a silver watoh , a quantity of jewellery , and other property . —Mrs Fanny Morgan , aunt to the prosecutor , said that on Tuesday evenin * , about sevsn o ' clock , she was in the kitchen , when her attentioa « b ¥ attracted bv a noise , as if the

      street door was opeaM . She instantly went up stairs with a lighted candle in her hand , and on entering the parlour she saw the prisoner with two boxes under bis arm . She inquired bis business , but he seenad agitated and made no answer , but knooked the candle eat of her hand . She seized him by the oollar , and held him tightly , whilst she called out . The man commenced and oontinued beating her nntil he dragged her into the passage in the dark , and he knooked her about very much as he attempted to get to the street door to open it , but she resisted him and sucoeeded in keeping him back as she retreated with her face towards him and her baok to the door nntil she opened it , and then Bhe again called eat' Murder , ' Robbery , ' and begged of the

      neighbours to come to her assistance . The prisoner then threw some of the property into the street , but she kept him at bay nntil the police sndBomeofher neighbours and inmates of the house came to her assistance and took the prisoner into CUBtody , after a resistance . The watch which the prisoner threw into the street was picked up near the door . —By Mr Cooabe : Whilst she was struggling with the prisoner he tried to get out , but she kept tight hold of him until she was quite exhausted , and her nephew came to her assistance , with whom he also struggled desperately . —Corroborative evidence was given by those who came to the old lady ' s aisistanoe , and the prisoner , who said he would reserve his defence for his trial , was committed . On leaving the bar , some

      well-known convioted thieves shosk hands with him cordially , and bade him' Good bye , ' and he was taken away laughing . Cbeslty . —Sarah Andrews , living at No . 27 , Clerkenwell-olose , was charged with exoesaive cruelty to William Andrews , a cripple between fourteen and fifteen years of age . —The Unfortunate boy , who was supported into the court , was attenuated by ill treatment , and exhibited marks of violence on tha head . —MrKing said the defendant was the complainant ' s mother-in-law , and for a length of time past she had exercised the greatest ornelty towards him , and his cries and screams frequently alarmed the neighbours nntil he ( Mr King ) determined , in consequence of her conduot towards the boy last Monday to bring her to justice , and ever Binoe he had had the boy under his protection . —The boy deposed that on Monday the defendant ordered him to wash out a room in the upper part of the house , when she

      complained that he waB slaw about it , and he must have been fast asleep . She beat and kioked him on the body , side , and head . After he had finished the room , she beat him , when he escaped from her under the counter . She seized him by the arms , dragged him out , and dashed him on the floor . She then knelt on his Btomaob , feroed her hand into his mouth to prevent his crying , and knelt upon his stomach with all her might , and he now felt great pain . She also bit his middle fingnre nearly through , and he bled very much . A gentleman entered the place and took him away . —Thomas Moultonsaid he was passing by at the time and heard the crie 3 and screams of the boy . On looking through the shop window , he saw defendant drag him violently from under the counter , and dash him on the flinr . —Mr Henry King spoke to various acts of cruelty towards the boy on the out of tbe defendant . —The prisoner was committed fir trial .

Louis Toussaint Delpeotre was summoned before Mr Hardwioke for having threatened to blow out the brains of Dr Louis Ardoin , physician to the ex-King of the French , Louis Philippe . —Mr Lawton ( for the complainant ) explained the circumstances . Some misunderstanding had aruen between the parties at a . former period , to whioh . however , he would not farther allude , a 3 it wonld be made the Bubject of proceedings in another court . The threats towards Dr Ardoin took place at the Prince of Wales Hotel , Leicester-street , on Saturday evening last . Dr Ardoin was at the hotel , when the defendant came up to him , and , after calling him several

      opprobrious epithets , said he had oome over to England expressly to blow his brains out , and that he had a pair of pistols in his portmanteau for that very purpose . The complaisant would have been inclined to treat this oonduot on the part of tbe defendant as the result of the anger of the moment ; but as the defendant had repeated his threats to the complainant ' s secretary , and had declared that he did not mind appearing in the charaoterof a murderer if he did not get suoh a [ settlement of matters between the complainant and himself as he wished , the complainant , who laboured under considerable fear , had resorted to the proteotion of the English law . He would farther say that the defendant ' s conduot was to be attributed to his fenoranoa of the

      dittsrenoe between the Frenoh and the Eneliih law .

      to her house , whioh was one of an infamous description . Here it was that the unfortunate girl was mide the vioKm ef the procuress , who instilled into ber mind , amongst other vioious lessens , that of becoming a shoplifter ; and had eventually taken her to the warebpuce ] and instructed her in the way she was to possess . herself of the stolen property . When , however , the ^ accused was taken intocuBtody her vile companion escaped , and Mr Games said he was only anxious to describe the facts in order to

      place the Jaw in a proper light , and exhibit the manner iu which his unfortunato client had been led into crime . —A very ladylike woman , who described herself ffl the prisoner ' s sister , came forward and verified the iaoti mentioned . —Mr Cottingb&tn ta d it was lamentable for a young creature like tbe prisoner , only sixteen years ot age , and of respectable parents , to be placed in suoh a situation .

He had not betn long In his hiding p lace when the complainant entered the shop and went op stairs with hit wife , and the defendant then leaned from the cupboard , in iolng which he threw donn lome articles , wliioh alarmed the parties up italrs , and whiH he was rnsbing up to lDfl | ot summary venteanoe upon those against whom his suspicions were aroused , he met bia wife hurrying down , and he passed her , and darling

      into the roam where complainant w » a , he attacked him with a large street doer key .

There was a o evldtnoa to piova that anything of a criminal nature had taken plaoe , and therefore be trusted the

      magistrate would send the case to the sessions . —Mr Cottingham said that when the oomplalnant first applied fer a warrant he carefully abstained from Aescrlbtag tbe olroumstanoet under which the asssuV , wbioh was oer . eeinly one of a very violent nature , had bsen commuted , merely saying when asked the question by him , that he save defendant no provooatlon , and was at alon know to tbe cause of hla having made such & furious attack upon him . The real faots , however , had slnoe come out , and defendant , under the strong impreiBloa that tbe oomphlnant was acting towards bim in a manner that was calculated to destroy bis domestic petoe , attacked him in the minner already desorlbed . The magistrate , however , added that if the complainant wished to take tbe case before a jury , he bad no objection to allow that proceeding , and should therefore merely call upon the defendant to oontlnae bis recognition of £ 40 to appear at the sessions , to give the complainant an opportunity of prosecuting if he pleased .

      send me to gaol , or any place , in preferraoe to goiig baric with that woman , A gaol , I assure yosr worship , would be the least of the evils , for you can form no idea of what a life I have led with that woman . Ss strong is her jealoaiy that the aoou « ei me of an Improper Intimacy with her own Bister , and tbe result of our living tog » ther will be the murder of one or the other of us some fine morn-Ing , —Mr Elliott : Then you h&d batter live aput .

      d , Bik . Etretl , Westminster , would have been given witj out any obarge at all , Tbe tbree poor men who accompinled him to the Mansion Houia had , upon the tepre . sentatlons of the person complained of , ( old off all their goods , and prepared themselves to emigrate to Australia . They had , however , fortunately called upon him , and mentioned the extent of the transaction wbioh had taken plaoe , and he could arrive at no other conoiusloa than tbat a most nefarious fraud was medltnUd against them . When be had made dae Investigation , he reported tb « case to the Govtrament Emigration Commissioners , wh mhe found had sot given any authority at all to tbe part ; who pretended to be d'legated by them , and eziressed a hope tbat the preis would lend its aid to the counteraction of bo serious an nil as the success of so dangerous an Imposition . He could aot more clearly express the views of the commissioners than by readirg an ex'raot froM the official letter whioh he had rtoslved upon the subjeot , and whioh siated as follows : —

      1 Ai it ia stated that no money bas jot been received by — , tbe commissioners are of opinion that it would not bs possible to take any legal proceedings against them . Nevertheless , as the praotice which they have adopted might lead to fraud , and might expose peor emigraati to imposition , the commissioners think it would be advisable tbat the utmost publicity should be given te the fact that there is no agent in London authorised to distribute forms or receive money , or act in any other way on behalf of the commissioners ; but that all Information and the neoessary forma may be procured gratis on application at this effioe , and tbat nothing will be gained by proceeding in any other way , either In Increasing the emigrant ' s chance of acoeptance or otherwise . '

      The Lord Mayor . —Then it is quite evident that tbe greatest facilities are afforded by the government 1—Lieutenant Lean said the facilities were bo complete that there was bo occasion whatever for an agent in London . As a matter of course there were agents appointed for different parts of the country , who were invested with the neoessary authority . One of the poor men waa to have paid tbe sum of £ 5 , another tbe sum of £ 818 s ., and the third the sum of £ 11 , and the third was under a strict injunction of aeorecy , in order , as tbe self constituted agent informed him , tbat he might not bs charged a pound more , it was to be apprenenied that tbe plan had been carried on very extensively , an * uader the impression that tbo system ought lob ) ornshed at once , it was deimed neoeiiary to represent tbe faots

      to tne chief magistrate , wbo had proved himself to be in every respeot so well qualified to protect all olasees of the public—The Lord Mayor . Have you reason to bellbve tbat the party of whom you complain has imposed much upon the simplicity of poor people desirous of emigrating t—Lieutenant Ltan . These are tho only cbbfs with wbich I am acquainted , and I bave reason to be * lievethat jour lordship ' s interposition will completely check tbe praotice . These menbave sold off tbeir furniture and whatever little property they possessed In order ts enable themselves to go out as advantageously as possible , and tbey have therefore sustained what is to them a smIoub loss . — The Lord Mayor . Is what capacity did they mean to go!—Lieut . Lean . One of them intended to have a free

      passage , if eligible , under the order of tbe commissioners ; tbe others were to be assisted emi grants , if coslidered eligible from the nature of their pursuits and their families . —Tha Lord Mayor . What is the dlffrr . once of the treatment experienced by the two classes of free and assisted tmlgrauta *—Lieut . Lean . The assisted emigrants go out as passengers under the same rules and regulations as the free emigrants—The three emigrants were then called forward . They stated , under very intelligible Manifestations of injured feelings , the loss and annoyances to which the ; had been subjected and from a more intolerable degree of whioh they had been saved by tha interposition of Lieut . Lean , —The Lord Mayor . I am sure the publie are greatly indebted to the emigration commissioners for

      having deputed you to come before me and make this clear abatement of facts , so interesting , and important , ana useful to all classes , particularl y at the present moment . It is most essential that the public should know that there is bat one plaoe In London at which those who intend to emigrate ought t » apply for tbe necessary information and authority , and it la much to be deplored that there are to be found persons capable of conduoting establlsbmiutB for such baso purposes . I eee that the practices complained of have not beea so far pursued as to enable me to aot in my magisterial capaolty ; but I trust tbat the publio exposure which I have ns doubt will very soon follow the repre-Btntatlens you have made , will deter parties from engaging in suoh unworthy iramaottons . I trust , too , that emigrants will take a lesson from what has feeea stated , and adopt the efficacious and economical plan of applying » o the commisslonsrs in Park-street , West , minster , for the facilities whioh on such occasions are bo

      Indispensable . If there were any means bj which I could make an example In ibis matter , I would , without any hesitation , resort to them and inflict a penalty , the efficacy of which would not bs easil y forgotten . I have lately decided in a case somewhat similar , and obtalasd satisfaction for the injured parties , and nothing would give me greater gratification than the power to obtain for you similar recompense , I much regret that you have been victimised , but I have no doubt that upon Lieut , Lean ' a representation to tha board the commissioners will consider your case with a high degree of humat-ity , —Lieut . ' L 9 au said the commissioners had given due coaslderation to the cases of the poor men , and would treat them in tha manner his lordship had so kindly suggested . In the ' r name he returned thanks to his lordship for tbe readiness with which the complaint bad been heard , and the judiolous treatment it had reoelTea at his lordship ' * hands , —The three poor men expressed their gratl-. ude in a manner calculated to make a strong impression In their favoar .

Mr Pelham appeared for the complainant , aad Mr Locke ( barrister )

      for the defence . The owe whleb . was very closely sifted by Mr Yardley , excited the deepest interest . — The compla ' aant stated that she went into the service of the defendant ' s mother about twelve montfes since , and had bacn scarcely three weeks there when he attempted to take liberties with her . She threatened to leave , but he requested her to stop during his mother ' s illness , and promised not to repeat them . She did so , and he ultimately succeeded In bis designs upon her . When she told him the was with child by him , he begged hor not to mention it , as , being newly entered into business , it would be his ruin . She left in March last , and had subsequently to go to tbe London Hospital with a pain in her chest . Whilst there a washer *

      woman named Kully , was sent to her by tho defendant and his yonng man also called to see her . She after , wards lived with her mother at a Mr Pettit ' s , in Poplar , from whence Bhe wrote t > tbe prisoner , who frequently came to see her there , and gave her money several times , She afterwards went to the Poplar union , where she lay in , and whilst there her mother oocailonal ' y went to Mr Pettit ' s for small sums of money left for complainant by defendant . —Mary Casey , the mother , to a certain ex . tent corroborated hor daughter ' s evldenoe .

She said the Osseys came to live with htr In March last , and shortly after Mr Dudley came , an d asked for the people up stairs . He called tw « or three times , and used to see Ann Casey In her parlour , acd once went out with her . In

She told him she had not , nor had she ; She gave Mrs Casey out of her own pookeHs , 0 J , at ono time , and Is . 6 d , at another , though the Caseys owed her seven weeks' rent , —The manner of this witness was so constrained , and her answers in many instances so coolly evasive , that Mr Yardley directed her to be confronted with the mother in tbe witness-box —Mr Yardley : I will ramand theoase until Tuesday next , whea perhaps further evidence will be forth , coming .

The coffee market has given way to a small extent ; 1 , 400 bags plantation Ceylon offered at auction were only par . tially realised at rather easier rates ; but 1 . 050 baga good old native found buyers at 27 s 6 d , being the previous value .

Prices of American and Brazilian descriptions are a point lower , but other sorts unchanged .

      STATE OF TRADE . Makobestxk . — Our market manifested an increased dulness on T uesday . The sales effected in goods have , in many instances , beon at some further reduction of price ; while , as to yarns , this bas been almost uniformly the case . There have been operations for various quarters , but altogether verr iimited in extent , and leaving an unfavourable impression from the plain indication they afford of the probable course of things . The home trade , we learn , from several firms , is smaller in extent than Is usual a-, this season , in years of average general prosperity . The fal'ing off lies in the large towns ; whilst ia the rural districts , little change is perceived . Of our city dealers , the eroat ones are not much affected by this diminished demand , but the smaller ones feel it severely . . Rochdale . —Though there has been a fair business doing yesterday in flannels , yet tbe demand has not been quite equal to that of the preceding week . Wool is much the same it haB been for some weeks past .

      HuDDEBsriEiD . —A decidedly dull market . The stock exhibited on Tuesday in the Cloth Hall is heavier thaafor some weeks past , and some first-rate patterns have been exhibited . Hilipax . —The attendance in our Piece Hall yesterday was exceedingly slender , and the amount of business doHe , either in plain or fancy goods , was very trifling , In the warehouses , nowever , of some of the larger firms , there is rather more doing in fancy goods for the Araeri . can market ; but there is not any improvement in prices , In yarns there is a little more activity for the Continent , chiefly owing to the German manufacturers having run out of stock , and being , therefore , anxious to supply themselves before the closing of the navigation for tho winter season . Leeds . —The transactions at our cloth halls have been limited to a small scale , a few heavy winter goods only having changed hands ; both tbe town houses and shippers begin to buy sparingly , owing tothe advanced season of the year .

      Kqumt . —Monday —The Coboskr ahd Masistratb . —At the Gibraltar public-house , St George ' sread , before Mr W . Payne , by adjournment , tonohhg the death of Robert Wcodrow , a boy of fourteen years of age , who died from the effects of a blow eivea to him by another lad , named Adolphus Solids . The case would be of po publio interest but for a disputed point of jurisdiction whioh . arose . On the 9 th of last mentb . Solida gave the deceased a blow on the baok of the bead , near the left ear , whioh caused an abscess , and ultimately death several weeks after . Previous to dissolution , Mr Norton , the magistrate of the Lambeth Police-court , accompanied br Mr Perry , the chief olerfe , took the deposition of Woodrow . and this document formed a portion of the

      depositions upon which the youth Solida was committed for trial on a charge of manslaughter . Mr Payae , tha coroner , subsequently sent for the deposition ot tne deceasedyouln , bttfc Mr Norton declined sanding it , but at the same time , requested that Mr Payee wouldattend at the court for a few minute ? , and show if he could , by iny competent authority , claim the deposition . At the last inquiry it was sng geited by a medical witness that the inquest might be adjourned to some hour , mid-day , when the coroner ( the distance being short ) , might wait upon Mr Norton , and come to some understanding in the matter . This su £ geation Mr Payne treated with muoh indifference , asd issued a summons directing the attendance last evening at the inquest-room of Mr Norton and Mr Perry , his chief clerk . The latter only was in attendance , with a clerk from the office of the Clerk cf the Arraigns at the Old Bailey , who , having produced the deroiitions returned in the ease .

      tbe coroner requested Mr Perry to read to the jerr the deposition before alluded to . He did so , and explained to the coroner and jury that Mr Norton had no intention of throwing the slightest impediment in the way cf tbeir inquiry , but acted upon what he conoeived to be the law in the cage . The coroner , however , went on at same length to exolaim against what he called the attempt oa the part of Mr Norton to frustrate the ends of juBtice . —Mr Perry assured the ocroner that Mr Norton had acted only under the firm conviction ( and that opinion was fortified by the opinions of other police magistrates ) that the declaration in question was only admissible in evideuoa before the court and jury before whom the case mtiBt eventually be tried . —Witnesses having been examined , the coroner summed np . and the jury , after half an hour's deliberation , returned a verdict to the effect' That the deceased came by his death from the effects of a blow inflicted by Adolphus Solida in a childish and innocent marnfr . '

      Lovx AMD Suicide . — Oa Taesday night , an inquest was held on the body of James Hiorns , aged twenty , late potman at the Horse Shoe , Goswell-road . Daceased wa 3 a very steady young man , and bare an excellent character , but he had formed some connexion with a female living at Highgate . to whom he appeared much devoted . Latterly it seemed that there had bsen some dispute between them , wbich weighed heavily upon his mind . He became exceedingly despondent , and sometimes spoke of destroying himte'f , bat would immediately afterwards exhibit such oontoiousnesa of his folly , that it was not thought that ha would have committed so rash an aot . On Friday morning he seemed rather strange in his man . &er , and in the evening , bvriog procured tome arsenic for the purpose of ki'liag rats , as he said , he swallowed the poison , and died from its effects on Sundav morning . Verdiot , ' Temporary Insanity .

      On Taesday , Mr W . Payne , the City coroaer , held an investigation at St Bartholomew ' s Hospital , into the circumstances attending the death of Sarsh Lieton , aged eight years , who died on the night of Saturday last , from tbe effect of eevere wounds occasioned by her falling into the fire . Tne peculiar cireamstanoesof the oase were that when the fatal accident occurred the mother and another little child were in the room . The mother ' s baok was turned for an instant , when the was a ' armed by hearing deceased exclaim ' I ' m in the fire , I ' m in the fire . She turned round and found her child enveloped in flames . She extinguished the fire almost instantaneously , and tho peor little sufferer was removed to tbe hospital , where she expired in about seven hours . The deceased told the nurse at the hospital that ber brother had thrown a lighted shaving at her , wbich had set fire to her pinafore , and caused the melancholy occurrence . Verdict , ' Accidental Dsath .

      On Tuesday afternoon Mr Baker held an inquest at the Black Horse , Kingland-road , on the body of a newly bwn male infant . It appeared by the evidence that on Saturday night last , a female residing at No . 15 , Westmoreland-street , Shoreditch , found a small bundle lying in tbe passage doss to the streetdoor , which was partially left open . The bundle was opened , and the the body of the deceased was discovered . It was wrapt up in a dark piece of calioo , and a small piece of flannel covered the head . It was then tied by a piece of black string . Mr Clark , surgeon , examined the child , and found that the delivery had not been properly attended to . He could not state whether the child was born alive or not . The coroner said he was of opinion that many females were instigated to destroy their infants by the advice of persons who obtained their livelihood by concealng the bodies . The jury returned an open verdict of' Fonnd Daad . '

      A Man Killed bt a Horsi . —Dbaih of his Wifs FaOM Gator . —An inquest was held by Mr Bedford , at the Westminster Hospital , on the body of Wtn . Lasher , aged 47 , who was billed as follows;—Oa Friday week he was cleaning a horse belonging to Mr Connett , of Rochester-row , when the animsl kicked him in a most dreadful manner over the face , whioh rendered him quite insentible , and he was conveyed to the Westminster Hospital . He had everything that was possible done for him , but the inflammation of the windpipe praduoed pneumonia , of which ha died on Saturday , bat he had the larynx opened to prevent suffocation on Wednesday . Ilia wife g offered so much from grief at his death that she herself expired on Monday . Verdiot , 'Accidental Death . ' Ah IsQOEsr was held by Mr Bedford to icquire into

      the death of Wm . Draper , aged 26 , a groom , who fell from a horse in Mount-street , on Monday morning last . The horse had some time before the accident occurred been kicking and plunging violently , but at the time of the accident and for some minutes previously it had been perfectly quiet . The deceased fell upon the back of his head , and died before he reached the hospital . It appeared probsble that he fell from the horse in a fit , as it was found upon examination the heart was very much diseased . Mr Gee , the house surgeon , stated that the heart might have oeased to beat before deceased fell from the horse , and that suoh occurrence would be rendered more likely by any jolting or exoitement . The wound apon the b&ck of the head also would have been sufficient to cause death . The jury , after some deliberation , found that deceased died from disease of the heart , accelerated by previous exoitement .

      ROBBSBT AT THE ExCHEqUXH-OFFICB . —The Exohequcisonice , Lincoln ' s-inn . was entered after the termination of business on Saturday lasti and plundered of a quantity of gold and aiWer , the thieves getting dear away with their booty .

Between forty and fifty men have been thrown out of employment by the accident , Firk . —Abjhhiho the Pbikckes ' s Thkatbb . —Oa Wednesday afternoon a fire commenced in the upper floor of a range of shops in the joint ocoupation of Mr Boons , cabinet-maker ; Mr Cummins , a oarver ¦ Mr Pope , a cabinet-maker ; Mr Waterman , a builder ; Messrs CotVam and Hallen , the extensive ironfonnders and engineers ; and Messrs HutchinBon and Brown , ooaoh painters and builders , No . 3 Winslej-atreet . The flimes when first discovered ! in

      were raging furiously Mr Boone ' g workshops , and but a few minutes elapsed before the place was wrapped in fire , from whence the work of destruction extended to the premises occupied by Mr Cummins and Mr Pope . The engines from Wells-Btreet , Kingstreet , and other brigade stations , promptly attended , and m time was lost in setting them to work ; but the firemen , in spite of their utmost exertions , were unable to confine the flames to those portions of the premises just named , and in a very few minutes aftirwardg a large store filled with timber , belonging to Mr Waterman , also became ignited , as well as a range of workshops . Other engines of the County , London , and Weit of England establishmsnts , arrived in rapid succession , but notwithstanding this powerful force the flames continued to travel with equal vblenoe , firing two of tho houses in Castlestreet Eut , and asoene ed as high that the heat
