They had fair weapher to Malta, and a prosperoce

12th -October, and the sailing of the ship on the 22nd
Waa garotted. Sbe was then bound to Constantinople
to take in ooals and proceed to Taganrog; but she
reached the Golden Horn, and all enquiries by
the owners, consignees, kc., have failed in getting
warns of her--she km not been beard of since she
left Malta, and the only possible conclusion is that
she has been totally lost.
"W, only knew, she Lied away,
.5 Aad never was won or heard of more."
Her owners have done all that could be expected of
been to relieve the relatives of her crew; but the
venni wee sailed by the voyage, and no more money
istobl espeoted from them. The wid of poor
Short has been thus left with eight little children,
and she appears to labour hard at washing to
help support than, while the relatives of the
other men are by no means in the best of
circumstances. Here are surely oases for the,
charitable, far better than enoouragt ng professions'
tramps. Two or three gentlemen havo relieved one
of the widows, and all honour to them for so doing,
brit it might be well that • public and united effort
should be made to do some permanent good to those
who hitherto have not forced their loss before the
public eye, but have done what they amid to help
themselves.

Dr. C. Rhodes said that on Saturday he was sent
for to attend deceased; but was from home, and he
attended about 1 o'clock. lie found him suffering
from severe burns, extending over the right leg, the
right side of the trunk, and the r:eht arm. He had
been carefully dressed by his mother with oibi and
rags. Witness did what was necessary, and sew him
again on Sunday morning ; but in the evening when
he 'sent, found he bad just expired. The cause of
his death WAS shock to the system, together with
engesti,n of the brain and lungs, consequent on the
injuries received. He was showing these symptoms
on Sunday morning, and witness did not think he
would recover, and told his father se on Saturday,
the first time he saw him. He dad all he could to
alleviate his sufferings, but it was of do avail. The
Injuries were quite sutficieet to cause death ; but
it was not so much the burns as the after come
quence, that was the canoe. Deceased would have
died as loon if he had seen him earlier, for he could
not have adopted a better remedy than the mother
used-
The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental
Death.'
