EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY AT STOKE
NErmaroN.—(THIS DAY.)

Great excitement has been caused in Stoke
Newington by the results of • search which hail been made
by the sanitary inspector on the premiere of an undertaker
in that pariah. Four °offing were found containing the Ti-
nning of as many children concealed under a quantity of rub.
huh in a shed atthe end of the garden. One of the children had
been dead about nine months, and was little more than a
skeleton. Another appeared to have been dead only two or
three weeks, and the others were in such a state, apparently
from the action of lime, that it was difficult to tell how long
they had been dead. The coffin of an adult, which was
fonod with the lid screwed down. attracted attention,
and the undertaker, on being interrupted, stated that
it contained the body of a pauper who had died six weeks
ago, and he was only waiting to bury it with • number of
others. He at first, it in said, refused to have it opened,
but the inspector compelled this to be done, and the coffin
was found to be empty. There is no explanation at m-
eant forthcoming as to what has become of the body. The
facts have been reported to the proper authorities, and •
searching eraminatwo of the remainder of the premium,
and into the dram:octanes' al the deaths of the children,

will be instituted. It is believed also that the soil of the
poden will be termed up.

yedmg ladies of the aristocracy in London. The

Countess of Darnley, lady Ann Stinson, Lady Elizabeth
Oust lady Foley, Lady Addles Manners. and Mrs. Walters
were very attranive. The " Home" is an institution which
was established nearly six years ago for the treatment of
the surgical diseases of wane., at Notting-hill, and the

A COASTGUARDSMAN KILLED BY LIGHTNING.—
A frightful accident occurred on Wednesday night to a
coastguardsman, named Dancer, belonging to the East
Blatchingtou station, Seaford. On that night, it will be
remembered a terrific storm was raging, and before the
rain commenced the lightning and thunder were very
heavy. About half-pest nitre Daocer had • conference
with the Cochrane coastguardsman at the signal-poet
co the cliff, to the east of Seaford. The next morning
the poor fellow eras found on the beach at the bottom of
the cliff by Mr. Bennett, chief boatswain at the Blotch-
ington Battery. His hat and nick were discovered on
the top of the cliff, and at the spot the cliff is about 200
feet high. Police-constable &Imes was called before
the deceased was touched, and on his arrival he examined
the body. He found one arm was broken, and one of
his thighs was also broken, and the bone protruded
for a considerable distance. He had also sustained
a severe cut over the left eye, and he was very
much cat and bruised about his body. Hie chest, too,
seemed completely broken in. What makes the matter
so peculiar is, that the man was lying about six yards
from where he at Ind fell. He has left • mark in the
beech where he bad fallen, and he was found lying on his
back with • handkerchief round his head, one arm lying
moss him face, and his legs crowd- Mr. Noakes, surgeon,
of Newhaven, examined the body, and and the blow on the
temple was quite sufficient to account for death. At the
point from which he fell the cliff overhangs, and he must
have dropped the 200 feet without the slightest check.
The body was conveyed to the boat-house on the beach,
where an inquest await. it. The deceased, who was forty
years of age, leaves a wife and three young children to de-
plore his loss.—dfaidstone Joarnal.

the height of the storm on Saturday morning last, a remark-
able phenomenon was witnessed in Chatham harbour, by
a. whirlwind which swept over the river. The rain at the

dotinctif traced by the persons in the dockyard, who
observed it sweeping np the river, on the opposite side
of the harbour from the direction of Upoor. The water
at the time was drawn up in a spiral circle, and is
described as having mach the appearance of the eddies
made by dun in a gale of wind. When nearly opposite the
Ordeance-whart the whirlwind caught • huge which was
besting up the harbour, carrying away her sprit, swamping
her boat, and causing some other damage. It was also

nl minutes, daring which the water which came under the
influence of the whirlwind was violently agitated.—Maid.
