Mr. Loch has left London for awhile; but dur ing his stay here his accounts of his captivity have, of course, excited the greatest interest. He-has brought some tidings calculated to lessen the pain of the friends of at least one of the victims of Chinese brutality. Mr. Bow lby appears, from the reports of the surviving Sowars who were with him, to have become delirious, proba bly from the effects of exposure to the sun, on the second day of his captivity. He is likely, there fore, to have been in a great degree uncon scious of suffering for the two days that elapsed between the appearance of delirium and his death. During the whole period of their captivity, after as before they were allowed to be together, Mr. Parkes and Mr. Loch were in momentary expectation of death. They knew, through the information of Hangki, that their fate hung on the issue of a struggle between the more violent and the more conciliatory party in Prince Kung's Council, and Hangki, though himself belonging to the moderate section, seemed throughout his interviews to anti cipate the triumph of those who were for wreaking summary vengeance on the captives. The sense of imminent peril to life under which these two per sons spent the dreary period of their captivity ren ders more admirable the firmness with which they declined to allow their safety to be used as a means of influencing the actions of the Allies. Hangki often repeate to them that, independently . of a probability of a sentence of death by the majority of the Council, they were sure to be massacred by the guard, if the Allies fired a shot in anger against Pekin. It was with no very pleasant feeling, there fore, that on the day before their release they sud denly heard the sound of cannon. They were hap pily very soon relieved from the painful anxiety thus created by one of tin officers of their guard, who brought the news that the English were firing guns with nothing in them. They subsequently learned that the guns which they heard were a salute, or rather signal, fired by Sir Hope Grant, if I am correctly informed, on taking up new head quarters. lam told that this salute would, in re gular course, have been fired during the night, but that Lord Elgin, hearing the General's intention, got out of his bed, and put himself into instant communication with the Commwder-in-Chief, pointing out the danger that mighty be caused to the prisoners by firing at so unusual an 'hour, all the more as the sounds heard in the dark would be so liable to misunderstanding, and so likely to create panic among the Chinese. It was the im pression, both of Mr. Parkes and his companion, that if these guns had been fired during the night, as originally intended, they would both have been massacred by the soldiers placed in charge of them —Manchester Guardian. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE GENERAL SW WILLIAM NAPIER, K.C.B. At a Meeting held at the Royal United Service Institu tion on the Bth May, 1860, His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., G.C.8., in the chair, It was proposed by his Graco the Duke of Richmond, K.G., and seconded by the Earl of Ellenborough, G.C.8., That the late General Sir William Napier, as a soldier and a military historian, merited the admiration and grati tude of his country. Proposed by General Sir John Burgoyne, Bart., G.C.8., and seconded by General Sir Thomas Brotherton, K.C.8., That he immortalised the glorious deeds of our Army in Spain, Portugal, and France, by his history of the war in those countries—a history that no true soldier can read without instruction and .advantage, and without being in . spired by the heroic sentiments and spirit-stirring language the author.

THE MOST ATTRACTIVE GIFT BOOK OF THE SEASON. The Earl of Carlingford bas addressed the fol ' lowing extraordinary letter to the editor of the Irish Times:— " The doom of slavery, of foul policy, and to every nation its rights." "Sir,—As events and novelties pass before our eyes, no matter how startling they appear at first, after a short time they become of no wonder whatever, and the only part that strikes us is, that they were not known long before ; yet what scepticism still exists on the most clear and simple in ventions, and can it be conceived that there is scarcely one person in 10,000 that will believe in the most simple inno vation before it is seen and recognised by the whole world, although it may be even as simple as a wheelbarrow ? for we are reared up in a fixed belief that it is with difficulty we can divest ourselves of that which has been instilled into our minds from childhood, and hence it follows the scepti cism we find to exist. Yet scientific men, whose research ought to be supposed to take them out of that position, with but few exceptions, have not the courage or confidence in themselves to state their belief in such innovation, and prefer to join the unbelievers rather than risk their repu tation in putting themselves forward by declaring their belief in that which has not been recognised by the whole world. Then their jealousy has something to do with it, so that instead of giving encouragement to that which would be. a great benefit to mankind, actually give opposition by every means they venture to employ, and when they fear to question the discovery, the only re source they have is silence. There is the questionable solu tion of the problem of aerial navigation, established by the suoaeas that attended an experiment I made some time ago and which 'I have already announcect ; nut Slnee tneu tue, weather, as well as some private affairs, prevented me bringing it forward sufficiently before the public for it to be universally acknowledged ; but, nevertheless, I have done enough to enable the scientific to come forward to recognise it, and to declare to the whole world its unquestionable The St. George, 91, screw, Capt. Hon. F.

ELIZA COOK'S POEMS, 'Selected and edited by the Author. " Madalena, Jan. 3. " On the 26th of December I left Genoa for Caprera. All went well until the afternoon, when . the wind shifted and threatened a gale. We made for the Gulf of Spezzia, about 60 miles from Genoa, where we lay 44 hours, during which I had ample time to see the general features of the country, which is hilly, producing good wines and olives. Some lead is smelted ; but one important branch of trade is pursued by our townsmen, Messrs. Hen derson, who ship large quantities of fine white marble to Leghorn, thence to Britain. " Madalena--the point nearest the island of Cap rera—is a very small seaport town. In 1804 Nelson made this his centre of observation, because it com mands the Mediterranean, as it has many channels of exit. Possibly this may have influenced Gari baldi in his choice. Be this as it may, it is now fortunate; for,when his hour comes he can go in any kind of Weather, and without observation, where duty callS., Taking boat, in little more than an hour I reached the general's home, which is square, of one story, and having a little watch tower in the centre. The rooms are nearly 20 feet high in the ceiling, and must be well adapted fora summer residence. The island itself I would think rather more than two miles long by one in breadth, and is more broken and rocky than any spot I have seen in Scotland or America. The soil, however, where it has washed together in distant spots, is fertile, and situated as it is in view of the snow-clad hills of Corsica, and the lower, but equally rocky, Sar dinia and smaller islands, I cannot under stand the feeling of one who has, during an active life, been buffeted through the world, wishing to end his days in this retirement.

L AW LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICE, Fleet-street, London, 3d January, 1861. By N. A. WOODS, Esq., The "Times" Special Correspondent. Bradbury and Evans, 11, Bouverie-street, Fleet-street. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That a GENERAL MEETING of Proprietors of' the Law Life Assurance Society will be held at the Society's Office, Fleet-street, London, on SATURDAY, the 2d day of February next, at twelve o'clock at noon precisely, pursuant to the provisions of the Society's Deed of Settlement, for the purpose of receiving the Audit ,, rs' Annual Report of the Accounts o: the Society up to the 31st day of December, 1850 ; to elect a Trustee in the room of John Henry Cancellor, Esq., deceased ; and a Director in the room of Richard Richards, Esq., deceased; and for general pur poses. success ; but instead of their doing so, is it not a most un accountable fact, that they will cling to the fallacy of the balloon system with the vain hope of accomplishing the de sired object, although failure after failure is the result; and how could it be otherwise, when a baloon is nothing more than a fixture in tho air, or a cloud, I should say, that must follow the law of nature— which is to follow the current of air in which they happen to be. Any other result is absurd to hope for, for the only effect that could take place et any attempt to take them out of their current would be to make them descend; yet some persons have gone so far as to propose the nailing of a locomotive to a cloud or a balloon, which is just the same. I need not say more on this question, for it deserves no further notice; but I will now state with confi dence that I have discovered and proved that which clearly establishes aerial navigation, and in a little time it will be evident to all the world, as it is now only to the first scien tific men, although, as I said before, it is as simple as a wheelbarrow. I may therefore announce the results it must and will accomplish, and even at this moment I may claim its influence in the affairs of the world.

ON Just published, price 25., free by post. 2s. 4d., Mr. Hawthorn, the surgeon, said he had made a post-mortem examination of the body, and found that the cause of death was from congestion of the lungs, brought on by the severity of the weather. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. Another inquiry was gone into by the same coro ner, at the Duke of Gloucester Tavern, St. John's road, Hoxton, on view of the body of Thomas Blanchard Kedon, aged 52 years, who died very suddenly, at No. 12, Old Gloucester-street. The deceased was in his usual health, and on Saturday last he was unable to leave his bed through an affection of the lungs and he complained of the extreme cold. The v ife went to look at him some time afterwards, when she found him in a state of insensibility on the bed. Mr. H. B. Tilley, surgeon, was called, but the deceased was quite dead before he alrived. The deceased had died from disease of the lungs, acted upon by the severity of the weather and intense frost.

This Flospital is entirely devoted to destitution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accompanied by sickness and disease—and is now of sufficient magnitude that with adequate support it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds immediately available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures ; moreover, it gra • tuilously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 2,000 out-patients a-week.

Dr. Culverwell is the only lezally qualified medical practi tioner living of that name, and can In consulted (only as 001'4 it as a warning to those who would attempt to obstruct the rising liberties that are sought to be attained in . the world, and particularly in Italy. Ten years more will not pass away before universal liberty is accomplished; neither will one country be able to hold another in subjection, for aerial chariots, armed with shells, will set at defiance all your Armstrong guns, which will be of no more use than pop-guns when armed aerial chariots are floating above them. It is well, then, that the strings be now loosened a little, and gradually, until they are thrown aside alto gether, and that perhaps long before the time I have speci fied a new era will dawn over the world. Let emperors and statesmen, then, take this into their serious considera tion, for aerial navigation must and will bring about these results, and that I have accomplished it, I call on the scien tific world to deny it if they can. Yes, the little horn that is announced in Holy Writ is now fulfilled. The prediction re garding it can alone be accomplished by that which I claim for my discovery, and, singular to say, without intending to carry out the fulfilment of that prophecy in every parti cular, I did so, by placing in front of the aerial screw, which draws forward the aerial chariot, a small horn, which science indicated should be placed on its centre. Some may laugh at this claim of the fulfilment of the prophecy, but if that is not its fulfilment, what else can it be ? it must be something connected with a little horn, otherwise that term would be nonsense, and how could its attributes be carried out ill a more complete and perfect manner than by that which I claim from the effects I announce must result from the discovery of the complete solution of the problem of aei A. navigation, which, as I said before, has been de clared in the Academy of Sciences at Paris to have been ac complished. Let us then strive, emperors, kings, and all, to establish a kindly feeling, and assist rather than impede a people in their struggles for liberty; for it should be borne in mind that vengeance is in the heart of man, and woe to the Sovereign and h;s dynasty who would incur the hatred of an entire nation 1 Let them take warning in time; let not a whimsical, capricious, and mischievous policy be per severed in, which can only bring about the results I depri- CARLINGFORD. cate.—l am, &c., " SwiftiNg Heath, Jan. 2, 1861." SHOOTING A GAMEKEEPER.. A wheelwright, named Joseph English, was yes terday committed by the Sheffield magistrates to take his trial at the next York assizes on a charge of shooting, with intent to murder, Wm. Crookes, an assistant gamekeeper, at Smithy Wood, Eccles field, on the morning of the 15th of December. The circumstances are these :—Crookes lived in a lonely house in the middle of Smithy Wood, a preserve belonging to his employers, Mr. John Jeffcock and others. He got up at three o'clock on the morning in question to work a few hours at his trade as a file cutter. He sat at a small stithy under the win dow of his house, the shutter being closed, but having a crevice in the centre. About half past four o'clock Crookes was shot at through the win dow and knocked almost senseless off his seat, the shot entering his right cheek, neck, and shoulder. He was in a precarious state for some days, but ultimately rallied. English was apprehended on the 17th of December, and when charged with shooting Crookes, said to the officers, " I have been expecting you coming. I wish it had killed the brute. But lam all right, for I have not been out at night or fired a gun for a month." At the request of the officers he produced his gun—a double.barrelled one—and the left barrel was found to have been recently discharged and to con tain only half a charge, with newspaper as wadding. The other barrel, however, which had not been fired so recently, contained a full charge of mixed shot of the same sizes as the shot corns extracted from Crookes' wounds ; and the wadding of this barrel was of blue paper of precisely the same description as the wadding found in the house of Crookes shortly after he was shot. In one of English's pockets was also found some loose shot and some paper corresponding to the shot and wadding used by the person who had shot Crookes. Being requested by the police-officers to fire off the powder in the two barrels after the charges had been withdrawn, he did so, and then said he wished Crookes's head had been at the muzzle of the gun. He also said when in custody at the Sheffield Town-hall that be expected he should get seven years for the offence, but if he got off he would " give it Crookes if he was able." Mrs. Crookes, who ran for a surgeon a few minutes after her husband was shot, deposed that she overtook a man in the wood, who, immediately on seeing her, crouched down. She was frightened and screamed. She was sure the prisoner English was the man. It also appeared that the prisoner was three months ago convicted of trespassing in pursuit of game on the evidence of Crookes, and that he at that time threw stones at the prosecutor, and threatened to knock his head off. For the defence witnesses were called to prove an alibi, but the Bench considered the case one for a jury. An application was made to admit the prisoner to bail, but was refused. A second man, named Ibbetson, was in custody charged with being an accomplice in the crime, but the evidence against him was unsatisfactory, and he was yesterday remanded. BANKRUPTCIES LAST YEAR,-It appears that the number of bankruptcies gazetted last year was 1,266, of which 613 occurred in the metropolitan, and 623 in the pro vincial districts; Liverpool figuring for 71, Manchester for 64, Birmingham for 201, Leeds for 107, Bristol for 93, Exeter for 52, and Newcastle for 35. In 1859 the number of bank ruptcies gazetted was 943 ; in IssB, 1,353 ; in 1857, 1,429 ; in 1856, 1,197 ; in 1855, 1,411; in 1854, 1,214; in 1853, 756 ; in 1852, 822 ; and in 1851, 935-showing an average on the ten years of 1,123, or 143 below last year's total. Of the excess last year 95 bankruptcies occurred in the metro politan district, which had 473 in 1851, 399 in 1852, 422 in 1853, 629 in 1854, 656 in 1855, 569 in 1856, 664 in 1857, 563 in 1858, and 462 in 1859. The remainder of the ex cess last year, 48, came from the provincial districts, which figured for 462 in 1851, 423 in 1852, 334 in 1853, 585 in 1854, 755 in 1855, 628 in 1856, 765 in 1857, 790 in 1838, and 481 in 1859. Last year the Liverpool district was 8, the Manchester 25, and the Newcastle 1 below the average of the decade; while, on the other hand, the Birmingham was 45, the Leeds 2, the Bristol 25, and the Exeter 10 above the average. Every district, except the Liverpool (which was 5 below), showed an excess as compared with 1859, tho in crease being 14 in the Manchester, 50 in the Birmingham, 9in the Leeds, 40 in the Bristol, 17 in the Zzeter, and 17 n the Nowcatatlo jurisdiction. "My dear Palmerston,—l see by the London papers of Wednesday that the good peoplo of Southampton intend in viting me for the Bth of January to meet you on the occasion of the Hartley Mechanics' Institute, and I greatly lament that I shall be long before that time gone to the South until the beginning of February, when Parliament meets. it is impossible to have a more grateful sense of Mr. Hartley's munificence, and of the wise application of his important bequests. I only wish that he could receive, like our excel lent friend, Mr. Brown, of Liverpool, the cordial thanks of all his countrymen. The foundation of any institution which must so greatly promote the instruction in science and literature of the middle classes, as well as others, is truly:a national benefit of the greatest magnitude. But I grieve to think that our fellow -citizens, from the armed state of the world in these times, must combine their studies with volunteering. As in some of the Turkish pro vinces, from the want of good police, the ploughman is obliged to cultivate the ground armed in self-defence, so our shopkeepers and agriculturists must cultivate the field of knowledge in arms. That they have universally come forward in obedience to this bard necessity gives me, as it has given you, unspeakable satisfaction but no surprise. The shopkeepers, as well as the agricultural class, are quite ready to defend themselves, and I would advise no one to doubt the zeal of either; for if any one does, he will find the one class (to borrow a phrase from the farmyard) quite ready to take the bu , l by the horns, and the other (to use the language of the counter) showing the stuff they are made of, and proving very awkward customers. "With all the good wishes of the season, believe me, yours s'ncerely, "H. BROUGHAM." LORD DERBY AND M. JULES JANIN. The celebrated French critic, fully appreciating the excellence of Lord Derby's delightful transla tion of some of the best odes of Horace, recently confided to a friend in England a copy of his own French version of that author, with a request that he would forward it to his lordship. M. Jules Janin joined to the work some graceful French verses in honour of the noble translator. The gift has been most graciously acknowledged in the following letter, which does equal honour to the writer and to the French author : " Knowsley, Dec. 31, 1860. Sir,—A long and painfpl illness, of between three and four months, has thrown my correspondence greatly into arrear, and will, I hope, be accepted as au apology for my not having earlier acknowledged with thar'a the receipt of your letter of the 20th ult., with the volume which you have been good enough to transmit to me on the part of M. Jules Janin. May I beg you, when you have an opportu nity, to assure that gentleman how highly I feel flattered by the compliment which has been paid me by one so highly distinguished in the literary world; in sending me a copy of his work, accompanied by his autograph, which will greatly enhance its value. At the sane time, lam bound to con fess that he has done me too much honour in classing me with himself in the list of trrnslators of Horace. All that I have attempted in that way has been theltranslation of a few of the odes, two of which have appeared in a publica tion of a friend of mine, and which I presume are those which M. Jules Janin has honoured with his approval.— I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " DERBY." A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA.—A bottle, contain ing the following, has been picked up on South Shields sands :—" North Sea, Feb. 2, 1866—Dear Friends—When you find this the crew of the ill-fated ship Horatia and Cap tain Jackson, of Norwich, is no more. We left Archangel on the Bth January, all well ; on the 2d February we hove to under close-reefed topsails, after scudding before the gale for 10 days ;we have not been below for six days. A Norwegian brig hove to for our assistance. Four men got into the jolly boat, but after leaving a sea struck her, and sank her, and the four men were lost. Our crew consisted of eight men, master and mate, second mate, and two boys. While lam writing this, I have just left the pumps. We are not able to keep her up—eight feet of water in the hold, and the sea making breach clear over her. Our hatches are all stove in, and we are worn out. Our master made an ob servation to-day. We are in 60 N. lat.; wind, N.E. I write these few lines, and commit them to the foaming deep, in hopes that they may reach some kind .hearted friend who will be so good as to find out the friends of these poor suf fering mortals. lam a native of London, from the orphan school—John Laing, apprentice. We are called aft to prayers, to make our peace with that great God, before we commit our living bodies to that foam and surf. Dear friends, you may think mo very cool, but, thank God, death is welcome. We are so benumbed and fatigued that wo care not whether we live or die. John Ross, John Thompson, James Lee, Jos. Brig took the boat on the 21st of January.—William Ham, Peter Young, S am J ones, James Bruce, William Ham, chief mate; Thomas Wilson, second mate; John I. 4 aipg, and Frederic Taff, apprentices," "As the domestic matters of such a man should be private, no matter how publicly his public cha racter should be considered, so ought one to be careful in speaking of one so frank and unsuspect ing in all his dealings. " I found this truly great man surrounded by his own family, his brother, a frank, hardy sea captain, and a few friends, discussing freely the incidents of the times, on which cunninger, possibly not wiser, men would have affected mystery. " I was welcomed by Garibaldi in a manner which becomes a great man, and puts a plain man like myself at ease. He did honour to the good men who had sent me on this mission, when he placed me at every meal next himself, and pointed . out my bed as one of the two in his own room. I accepted this honour proudly and gratefully—pride in the coun try of which Garibaldi could not speak too often, for the moral aid, even more than the material as sistance, which it had rendered to Italy; and with gratitude to my countrymen who had sent me with their assurance of their abiding interest in him and his country in the coming crisis. " Seeing that he was deeply engaged with his immense monthly receipt of letters, I left him with his two secretaries, to take a quiet survey of his island home. And as you are aware of the appre hension entertained in Britain as to any sudden attack on him, I scrambled up the highest dividing ridges to see whether facilities existed for his ene mies from the opposite coast. The people herelaugh at the idea of any body of men being found daring enough to attack him in front, and by any other way it would take a body of men hours to work their way, - e w v o t a .n .nel even in over-com honey-combed granite their ro v c e k r s y , which, spa aummits, are evidently of volcanic " During the day the general was very much engaged, but towards evening he mixed with his friends, and conversed freely; and when by our selves in his own room, feeding the fire with roots—his only " fuel—he spoke feelingly and warmly of the British people, and of the stand made by Lord John Russell in favour of Italy. " After supper more writing, then to bed, where for hours he sat dictating to his two secretaries. I dropt over to sleep, and when I awakened all was quiet; but some hours before day he was at work with them again, and so continued until two hours after daybreak. I mention this mainly to explain how much he has to do, and to excuse him for any disappointment to his correspondents. " Being anxious to scrape acquaintance with Pio Nono, and to redeem a promise I had made to a friend, I found the celebrated little gentleman scratching his long ears ; but when I looked at his other end I could not find it in my heart to extract a single hair. Poor little fellow, he is but a small donkey for so world-wide a name; and Tam O'Shanter's mare Meg brought her rider safely over the Brig o'Doon with as much of a tail to swear by. His, or rather her brother ass was not there ; possibly, as the English in Naples have named him Lord Itobt, Montagu, he may have gone to England on a visit to his name-father, to obtain the usual candle cup given at christenings. " Senora Teresa, 'the general's daughter, is a very pleasant and unaffected young lady, but she speaks no English, neither does her brother Mennoti ; he is taller than his father, has very much the look of a fine young sailot in his red shirt, and bronze, not dark complexion ; he bids fair to be a very strong man, is now twenty years of age, and you are aware has already distinguished himself in the late campaigns. Nothing pleased me more than his modesty and self-possession in the various circumstances which I saw him placed in among his father's friends, both at home and elsewhere. When I left the general he bade me assure my friends that he trusted in better times to come among them, and thank them for what they had done for his country ; and to thank Joseph Cowen and the men of Newcastle for his sword and the telescope, which he has used through all his battles. I will reserve his remarks on the present circumstances of Europe for the consideration of the committee for whom I am acting ; suffice it for the public, that he is anxious, but hopeful. And it is to be hoped that the British friends of the great man, who must assist him in the coming struggle, will forego little differences of opinion, and fight shoulder to shoulder, for all will be needed in the coming death struggle of European despotism. When I get back I may recur to many things, of which I am unwilling to speak until I can consult with the London and Glasgow committees. " At Madalena I received an invitation to dine with one of our English Alexander Selkirks, who turn up on many of the islands of the Mediter ranean. Captain Roberts is a retired naval officer, and is, in fact, the great support of the little cam murity.

The foreman of the Albert -street Mill, Halifax, who was injured by the explosion of the boiler on Monday, died in consequence of his wounds, and the inquest was held on Tuesday. The verdict which was -delivered was accidental death, and the jury were further of opinion that the explosion had occurred from the unequal expansion of the boiler.

Xlll OTHER DEATH 21T1WUGH C.RINOLINE. An inquest was held lust evening by Mr. Bed ford at the Westminster Hospital upon the body of Mary Baker, aged eleven years, who came by her death under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence that the deceased girl was the daughter of poor parents residing in Pear-street, Strutton-ground, Westminster. About dinner-time on Thursday last a girl living in the same house heard loud screams, and on going to the deceased girl's room saw a little baby on the bed with its clothes on fire. She then saw the deceased in the middle of the street 'with her clothes all on fire also. She had run out and thrown the child on the bed. A horse-cloth was wrapped round her, and the flames were, as it was thought, quite extin guished, and she was conveyed on a costermonger's barrow to the above hospital. On arriving there, however, and removing the horse-cloth from of her, what remained of her clothes was found to be still on fire and smouldering. Martha Bowles, nurse at the hospital, said the poor girl told her that she was dusting the mantle shelf when her clothes caught. Mr. Slay ter, house surgeon, said decees-d was burnt from head to foot, and died the same evening from the shock to the system. Mr. Bedford said he - did not like to put the ques tion as to whether the poor girl wore any hoops, but he had little doubt about it, as almost every little girl was now to be seen with them. It was intimated that the deceased had something of the kind on. Several of the jurymen said it was surprising how the females still persisted to wear their crinolines to the enormous size that they still did, after the number of accidents and deaths by fire that had been caused through it; the coroner was quite right in his remark about the younger girls, for even little children. they. said, have it now put on by their foolish mothers. Verdict, " Accidental death." A CHILD ALLEGED TO BE STARTED TO DEATH. . Yesterday an inquiry was of h h e e l r d n b e e p fo h r e e w M: Torrington-mews, said thet jisi°snwife and gone a . house 6 fr. S . Brent, the deputy coroner for West Middlesex, at the Queen's Head Tavern, Great Ormond-street, Bloomsbury, on the body of Edward Charles John Pennyfather, aged 18 months, whose death was said to have -been caused through neglect and starvation by his nurf t.. Mrs. Ann Rabbits, of 7 1 painter,the who hwasad to America. attended to Ende l l-street t . reeLying-in The mother was Infirmary, and afterwards got a situation as wet nurse. The child was 1 tit out to nurse and got on exceedingly Well, and ~ s supported by the mother. In the month of August Vie child was sent to a nother nurse, and Cs. a week was agreed to be paid for its support. Witness saw the child two months afterwards, when she remarked to the nurse that it was dirty and ill-clothed, and that she thought it was neglected. The nurse confidently asserted that the child was well fed, but witness insisted that it should be taken to the hospital. Mr. Hill, house surgeon at the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond-street, deposed to attend ing the eceased from the 2d instant, and on the 4th it was admitted. It was very thin, very cold, with little clothing on its body, and its toes were apparently frost-bitten. The pulse was very weak. On the following day the child died. He had made a post ram tem examination, and found exter nally that the feet were frost bitten. Internally the stomach was empty, and the mesenteric glands small All the other organs of the body were healthy. The cause of death was exhaustion from emaciation, produced by want of food. He believed that the child had been exposed to cold through want of sufficient clothing, and that cold had much to do with the death. H was of opinion that if the child had had good food and sufficient pro tection from cold, it would then have been alive. The nurse, who was present, stated that she was in very poor circumstances, and that she had. only received two weekly payments (bring the time she had the child. She had three children of her own to support. She took the child to the doctor as soon as she could get clothes for it. She used to feed the child on porridge, and the same as they had themselves. At this period of the investigation the in q uir y was adjourned for a closer examination of the bod y to be made.
