CORONER'S COURT.—SATURDAY.

The Coroner held the following inquests :
On the body of Frederick M. Lobley, two years and
a half old, the son of a cabinet-maker, in Gordon-street,
Everton. About a month since the child fell out of
bed, and, from its manner and illness afterwards, it was
supposed that some bones were broken. It was taken
to Mr. Evan Thomas, who said the cellar hone was
broken, and that it would cost Ss. to set it. The father
paid the money and the operation was performed. The
child got worse, and about a fortnight ago, Mr.
Pope, surgeon, was called in to see it. The child
subsequently died, and, from the evidence of the
surgeon, death was caused by injuries to the brain, and
he did not think there was any injury to the shoulder,
as there was no external mark on the body. The
Coroner left the question to the jury whether tie child
died of injuries to the brain, and, if so, were the injuries
accidental ?—and the jury found a verdict of "acci-
dental death."

On the body of John Wood, a shipwright. 29 years
of age. He was working at a ship in the Sandon
Graving Dock, and by a fall received such injuries as
caused death in the Northern Hospital. Verdict,
"accidenfal death."

On the body of Thomas Collins, aged 51, who was
a hawker of hardware. He was found drowned in one
of the docks, and it was supposed he fell into the water
whilst in a state of intoxication, as the last time he was
seen alive he was not quite sober. The only evidence
was as to the finding of the body, and the above facts,
and the jury returned a verdict of "found drowned."
On the body of a child, named Ellen Darlington,
eight weeks old, that was smothered in bed. Verdict,
"accidental death."

BURGLARY IN WEST DERBY-ROAD.—Between seven
and eight o'clock on Saturday night., a burglary was
committed at the residence of Mr. Hetherington, No.
42, Wellington-terrace, West Derby-road. As the
officer entered the house at the back, the fellows made
their escape at the front and got clear off.
NEW BISHOPRIC IN AUSTRALIA.—Arrangements are
in progress for the erection of a new bishopric in
Australia, the seat of which will be in all probability at
Goulburn. The Bishop of Sydney, writing home on
the subject, states that the church lands there have
become so valuable as to afford a reasonable hope that
a suitable endowment and a proper cathedral may be
secured.

DISMISSAL OF THE NOTORIOUS SPANISH NUN, THE
SCEUR PATROCINIO, FROM MADRID.—This singular and
zealous religious sister has so pestered the Pope with
suggestions of reform in the Spanish church, that his
Holiness wrote to Queen Isabella demanding her im-
mediate dismissal from Madrid. The Spanish minister,
O'Donnell, backed this advice, and the noted intriguante
was sent away in a carriage, escorted by gendarmes.
It is supposed that a similar course will be immediately
followed with Father Clovet, the Queen's confessor.
ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT AT HELMSHORE.—
On Friday last another accident happened near the
Helmshore Railway Station, on the East Lancashire
section of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, and
very near to the scene of the late lamentable catas-
trophe. A man named Samuel Nicholas Murgatroyd
had been engaged in mowing the grass on the slopes
adjoining the railway at this point, and was passing
along the line after his dinner, when two trains coming
in opposite directions approached. He appeared to be
confused between the two, and to have lost all com-
mand over his own actions, when he was knocked down
by the ergine of a goods train bound for Manchester.
The injuries he received were so severe as to result in
death befoie he could be removed to the station.
