SHOCKING DEATH OP A YOUNG MARRIED
LADY THROUGH CRINOLINE.

An inquiry was held at the Compasees Tavern,
Daleton, Illy Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy coroner,
hat night, respecting the death by fire of Mrs. Esther
Hackett, aged 27 years, a lady who had been recently
married.

Mr. Richard Hackett, No. 50. Hedger's-grove, Hackney-
wick, said that the deceased was his wife. On the evening
of Monday week the deceased met witoess and his nephew
at the Fenchurch-street railway station. She then
returned home by train to Hackney.wick. Witten
and his nephew walked on to the house. When
they reached the corner of Hedger's-grove they
beard a cry of " Fire." They saw a greet blaze of light
through the windows of his house. It was his wife that was
in flames. Witness bunt in the front door, ran upstairs,
and took off his coat, and threw it around her. Before
that time • Mr. and Mrs. Goddard, who lived in the
house, had been trying to extinguish the fire, two
blankets having been burned in the attempt to put it
out. Deceased was then got downstairs, and a doctor that
was passing was called in, and he ordered her instant re-
moval to the German Hospital. Before her death, which
occurred the next day, she stated that on her re-
turn home she had taken off het cloth cloak, bonnet,
silk dress, cloth petticoat, and silk-quilted petti-
coat, and nearly all her clothes, with the exception
of two very large crinolines. She turned aside for the
purpose of nettling her bonnet and was at the tame time in
the act of taking off one of her crinolines when it caught
fire through coming in contact with the bars of the grate.
She stood a minute frightened and then ran from the room
lin which she was up the stairs to Mn. Goddard. The
deceased wore two large crinoline* twice before and had
been twice on fire from them, but on those amnions she
had not been hurt.
Mr. W. Goddard said that between 9 and 10 o'clock on
the night in question be heard the deceased scream,
" Godilani! Goddard ! I am on fire." Her cries
were dreadful. Witness ran oat of his room
and met her within five snits of the top in one
sheet of blaze. Witness pushed her into her an empty
room. Mrs. Goddard brought a blanket which witness
threw over the deceased. and extinguished the light fora
short time. She struggled so violently and threw herself
round so much that the blanket got off and she was again in
a blase. She must have been dreadfully burned before she
got to the top of the stain. There were two crinolines on
her and they were very large. She was very lively in spirits
when she returned home. The deemed was a very fine
looking young woman.
Dr. Christian Bueumber said th►t the deceased was
severely burned all over the body. She died within a few
hours after her admission to the hospital, from injuries from
burns caused by her crinolines taking fire.
The Coroner said that the death of the deceased lady was
the most dreadful one th►t had come under his notice.

The Jury returned a verdict "That the deceased was
accidentally burned to death while wearing crinoline."

On the sth of next month ou Mr. Lindsay's
motion respecting harbours of refuge, Sir Stafford North-
oote will n.ove the addition of the following words at the
end of the resolution, " And make provision for wholly or
is part defraying the expense of such harbours es it may be
thought right to eoostruct, by means of tolls upon shipping,
as recommended by the committee of this house."
Mr. Peel will move a vote on account of the
civil service intimates on Thursday.

On Thursday Admiral Duucombe will move for
• copy of Admiral Briper's Alois; report of the performance
of the Armstrong guns in the action at Kagrosima.

Mr. William killer intends on Thureday to ask
the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, if advice has
been received at the Colonial•ofce of the Legislative
Assembly of New South Wales having followed the example
of Canada in imposing a heavy duty on British as well as
forairo manufactured goods ; and if so, if that has been
dune with a view of protecting their own manufactures, or
for the purpose of raising revenue by means of indirect
taxation ; and if be is aware of it. being the intention of
other communities in Australia to follow the same course in
regard to their fiscal laws through their respective legis•
lative bodies elected on the principle of manhood suffrage.

The Vienna correspondent of the Times writes
with regard to the late King Maximilian of Bavaria:—" Oo
the 6th his Majesty scratched the left side of his cheat with
a pin that was attached to an order which he was fastening
to him coat, and on the 10th inst. he was a oorpse. In the
forenoon of Wednesday last the King was closeted with the
Archduke Albrecht, and during their conversation he com-
plained of a shooting pain at his chest. At 5 o'clock in the
afternoon the King felt very ill, and went to bed, and three
hours later his physicians declared him to be in great danger.
The persons who went after midnight to inquire after the
health of the illustrious patient were told that ' no cheese
was observable ; but already at that time the
medical men knew that the case was a hopeless one. At
5 o'clock in the morning King Maximilian received the
last sacrament, and shortly afterwards he had an attack
of locked jaw. Towards 8 o'clock his Majesty began to
dose, and at 10 minutes before 2 he had gone to that bourn
from which no traveller returns. When first the medical
men were called in they found a small abscess on the left
side of their patient's cheat, and in the course of the day
the adjacent parts of the body were violently inflamed.
The telegraph tells us that the immediate cause of the
King's death was `pycemie,' a poisoning of the blood by means
of pas."

No fewer than 3,000 persons are now imprisoned
in Galicia for political offences.

DR. PCSIET AND PROFESSOR Jowarr.—Dr. Pusey
writes to the Telma I deeply regret the decision of con-
vocation as to the endowment of Professor Jowett, though
on very different grounds from Mr. Maurice. The Reeord,
I see, also regrets it. One deep feeling for the well-being of
our young men united the /lewd, Mr. liable. myself, and
others io wishing that the statute, guarded as it was vilest
suspicion of indiffereoce to religions truth, should pass.
I hope that it will pass hereafter, when members
of convocation rhall look as the provision more
calmly. But Professor Jowett's friends should remember
that, but for their own apathy, or the opposition of some
of them, Professor Jowett would have been endowed three
years ago, when a statute, which also avoided the direct
endowment, and on which I bad bees employed for a year,
is,, lost in a ronvoostion of leas than 200 by a majority of sonic
20. As it afterwards appeared, it could have beta earned
had Professor Jowett'a friends thought the endowment of
paramount moment, or used the very slightest exertion, or
even if some of them bad not opposed it.*
PROORN&S or SOUTH A CSTRALI4I.-.-80Vell and
twenty years ago the work of settling South Australia was
commenced. A handful of men at Glenelg—the very spot
where thousands of pleasure.seekers DOW betake themselves
—were preparing to build their first rude houses and to
put the first plough into the soil. Sixteen thousand miles
of sea were behind them, and an unknown country was
before them. Ao immense work had to be doom, and
the labour eeresssry for it had to be brought ell
the way from England. Bat full of diMoulty
as the undertaking was, there was a fund of
mazy and perseverance equal to it. This is seen by the
result which Is now before us. The few pioneers of the
colony who had leaded at Gleuelg tweetyosves years ago
are now represented by a population of 145,000 souls ; and
the work of goverement, which was then commenced by an
assemblage of colonists under a patriarchal gm-tree, where
Governor Ifiedmerek reed his first proclamation, is now
earned on by a parliament acting through responsible
ministers, in local districts by 54 municipal Wass, all
elected the people themselves.--South Australian
