This morning Mr. Longhatn, the deputy-coroner
for Westminster, resumed, et the Vestry Hell. Dean-street,
Soho, the inquiry into the circumstances attending the
death of John Radford, aged 32, who was killed in Soho
last Thursday, under circumstances which h►ve given rise to
• charge of manslaughter against two persons, who are now

COUNTY OF MIDDLIESFOL ItituiersaTion.—This
morning Mr. Edmund Beale; the barrister appointed to re-
vise the lists of voters for the county of Middlesex, held •
court for that purpose, at the Chequers Inn, I'xbridge.
Mr. Albert James appeared on behalf of the liberals, and
Mr. Henry Smith on the behalf of the conservatives. Mr.
James has tskeu 1,200 objections, and Mr. Smith, 2,200, so
that a very hard fought battle may be anticipated. Of new
claimants on the list there are 1,360, and nearly all of them
are objected to by one party or the other, these claims
arising chiefly from small freehold allotments granted by
the land societies. To-morrow Mr. Busies will hold • court
at Brantford, on Monday next at Edgware, on Wednesday
at Enfield. Afterwards he will hold courts at Hampstead,
Bedfast, Kensington, and in various plasm in London.
LOST PKOPERTY AT THIC EXHIBITION. —The Lost
Property-office at the Exhibition now contains • sufficient
number and variety of articles to make up a very respectable
display, and indeed there are very few of the 36 industrial
classes of the Exhibition which could not be represented.
There are walkingmame by the score, which would come
under the head of animal and vegetable substances; and •
very large variety of specimens of bread and meat, and
cold chicken, and ale, and gin, and cherry, and some curious
compounds of rum and shrub, and gin and peppermint,
which would make a tolerable show among the "substances
used as food." There are several infant's shoes, boonets,
hats, and hoods. There are children's cloaks and capes—in
fact, there is not an article of infantine wearing apparel or
" requisite" which may not be found in the wife custody of
the polka. As visitors advance in years they do not appear
to grow mere mindful of their dothisg. Shoes may be
lost in • crowd ; but by what strange influence could
a lady have lost that stocking which one of the wa-
dable. of this fortunate X division found near
the philanthropic singing bullfinch in the Swiss Court ?
The records of the establishment show that on • day in
July, when the thermometer stood at its highest reading, •
female called at the office and requested to leave a small
parcel in charge of the police, apologising for the trouble
thus given on the ground of the excessive heat rendering it
unpleasant to carry its contents. The lady. probably too
much oppressed with the fatigue of sight-seeing in a heated
and crowded building, omitted to call for the small parceL
It wee spewed • short time niece, the contents—a flannel
pettic,t—being added to the miscellaneous wardrobe

wow forming under the gallery stairs by the police.
No person would be surprised at • quantity of gloves,
parasols, or umbrellas being lost or mislaid, nor of nume-
rous articles of jewellery, such as brooches and pine,
becoming unfastened and lost on the crowded days; but
who could imagine • visitor under any circumstances of
pressure of crowd or sweltering atmosphere losing a set of
false teeth out of his mouth? It is • fact, however, that
some person, lost in astonishment at the wonders on which
he was gazing, did have the misfortune to loose his teeth.
One gentleman has lost his wig, and, shade of Etrummell!
mom than one has dropped his moustache, and an exquisite
has parted with the flowing whisker from one side of his
foes.
