Upon is • sub ject M. L-roy d'E!oiles has addressed a communi cation to the Academy. in support of the claims of gal vinism in such cases. He maintains. that if r short and very fine needle be plunged into the side pf the body between the eighth and ninth ribs, so that it wi.l reach the attachments of the diaphragm, and a comniunica tient be established with a pile of twenty-five or thirty couples of plates, of an inch diameter, the diaphragm will immediately contract, and an inspiration be made.

Yesterday morring •a fire broke oat on the farm of Mr. Kimber, of 'Winn n, which destroyed the house, the laming stock, &c. Yesterday, about three o'clrck, a most heart-rending accident occurred, at the hou'e No. 36, Great Strand street, by which Elizabeth Hall, an old *omen of up wards of 70 years of age, mother of Mr. Hall, a book binder, and Anne Hall, one of Mr. Hall's children, a female infant of about eleven weeks old, weer burnt-el in such a sh-cking manner, that boils died in the course 41 the evening, suffering, until life becirre extinct, the most excruciating tortures. It appears that the mother of the inf,nt had been preparing dinner, and had gone out of an errand for a short time,.leaving behind het in the back parlour her mother-in-law and two children. The younger child was lying in the cradle, which was placed near the fire when its mother left the room ; the other child, which escaped, was playing about. A spark, it is supposed, communicated with the straw in the cradle and set it on fire, and the old wonfan's clothes caught the fl inc in attempting to extinguish it. The fire was discovered by persons in an adjr ining apart.. ment, but the devooting element had completely en veloped its victim•, and no eft, ctoal assisteke could be givin. The elder child escaped by running into a:closet adjoining the parlour. The bodies are frightfully disfigured—the back of the cold w.enian Avprated as if burned to a cinder. The arms, legs, a d abdomen of the infant were also dreadlully scorched, and one of its eyes was enti.ely burned out. Immediately sleet the accident they were conveyed to Jervis-street Hospital. The old woman died about twenty minutes east ►eing carried there. and her little grandchild at eight o'clock in the evening.—Dtrolin Morning Pool► . i "' r. . •.,a 6. ~~ .. ~ I '
