LAMENTABLE CATASTROPUE IN LOMBARD- STRRET. An inquisition was taken last night at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before Thomas Sartre -ell, Eq. upon the body of Master Minim Mai keith, aged eleven yews and seven months, the son of Me. Nlarekeitle, grocer and tea-dealer, Lombard-street, whose death was caused by the falling of a htg:i wall, formerly the front of the lonise or Mt. Sat it h, cutler, Lombard-street, which was destroyed by fire on Friday night last. Andrew Tinton, fireman, belmtging to the Globe insurance Office, &Tomei as follows :—Witness was ' , lauding near the wall, about a quarter of •es hone before four o'clock, on Sa turday afternoon, looking after hie engine, when he heard a cracking noise, and saw the front wall of Mr. Smith's house rail dome. The house had been destroyed on the preceding evening. Witness was much alarmed, and nearly suffocated by the dint. As mann as he was able lie rendered assistance to the unfortunate sufferers. The deceased lay near Mr. Bick nell's dour. Witness saw nu rubbish on him, bat the blood poured profusely from bin head. Be tarried the deceased to 11w shop of Messrs. Eilenbenough, chemists, &c. Poultry; • gentlemen who examined I superficially said, that he could render the deceased to service, and advised witness to procure a coach, which hr accordingly did, and conveyed him to St. Bartholoenea's hospital. Witness could not assign any cause for the wall falling ; it appeared very firm a short tone before; many persons were injured; they were chiefly passeugere, whom curiosity had drawn to the spot. Carriages weer allowed to pass down the street during the early part of Saturday morning; ■ bar was after wards put up to prevent them. Mr. T. P. Delayer, louse-surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, deposed, that on Saturday afternoon, about five o'clock, the deceased was brought to the hospital by the above witness in a state of insensibility, has head was (sadly fracinreil in several places, no hopes were entertained of his recovery, and he soon after expired. from an anatomical exlminatiou since death, witness found that the injuries the deceased received were of the most extensive kind. Mr 'tickle, idreveyor to the Phoenix Fire Office, produced to the Jury • plan of the buildings destroyed and those ad joiniug ; he stated that he had examined the premiers a short time prior to the wall falling, and it was then his ?pi nion that the front wall of Mr. Smith's bowie was perfectly safe. The cause of its falling waitron% a stack of chitaiiiris, the height of the whole huildiug, which, stood upon its urn bailie, inrtining against it. The chimnies were 'stopped with sonic timber, which the firemesi had cot away. Mr. Harrison, the Surv►yor of the Eagle Laureate Office, statrd, that he was on the premises of Mr. Smith, at three u'e lock on Sat urday afternoon, and he considered it to be so very firm, that if the Offire had had to rebuild the pre mises, lie should not hare considered it necessary to hams rebuilt the wall ; he was of opinion that it was forced duwu by th► stack of chininies filling against it, and the aroma the chisnuies giving way was from the supports being burnt. Coroner—" It would have bee, better bad the street beets stopped up when the buildings were tumid to be in danger of falling " Surveyor—" We could not stop up the thoroughfare without an ordar from the Magistrates" A G..eitlentan, a friend of the deceased, mid, if the precau 'looney measures adopted lime the accident had Irmo re sorted to prior to its occurrence, the melaucholy carcans steam would not have happened.

At the bottom of Van Dieniati's Bay, however, he fell in with three branches of a river, forming un extensive delta, and proceeded eo or tid miles up one of them, at which place it was 150 yards wide. The whole country was alluvial and perfectly ftit, so fa► as the rye could reach, and beyond winch the tide was observed to flow. Lieut. KING had heard nothing of FREYEINET, and he certainly had out been on any part of the western coast. Extract trots the Preface to Lady MORGAN'S New Work : " The Irish have been accused of making an ostentatious display of their injuries, and of clasikiug their chains to excite compassion; but however humiliating it may be deemed to ititerate complain: where there is no commisera tion, and to urge claims where there is no redress, the alter native is less intolerable than that silent aapitescenee, which malice or self-interest is but too ready to construe into tacit approbation. " The appeal to public opinion Mang. to the age in which we live; and it is the certainty of its ultimate success, not the abject hopelessness of its repetition, which has excited this affectation of disgust.
