DEArn PROM NEotwr.—Yeaterday afternoon Mr.
Wm, Baker held an inquest at tho City of London Union
Workhouse, Mile Bad-road, on the body of Julia Leary,
aged 2 years and 2 months. The father of deceased was on
Wednesday last brought before the Lord Mayor at the
Mansion-house, on a charge of begging and exposing his
child in the public streets (to excite sympathy) in a dying
state; he was then remanded till yesterday, when he was
again remanded till the result of the coroner's inquest
should be known.—John Turner, City police-constable 531,
deposed that on Tuesday last he found tho deceased child in
the arms of the man representing himself to be her father,
named Timothy Leary, who was given into his custody in
Basteheap foe begging. The child was in is very emaciated
state, and appeared very ill, in consequence of which he
took her to Dr. Smith, the parish doctor, in Gracechurch-
street, and she was immediately afterwards conveyed to
the above workhouse, where Mr. Browne had her en to
the infirmary, and every effort was made by Mr. Bu comb',
the surgeon to the institution, to revive her, but she was
in such a low condition that all efforts were fruitless, and
she died on Thursday. In the pocket of the father, on his
being taken into custody, was some milk and water, which
was in a dirty bottle, labelled poison, and in which some
lotina had 103 mcrly been, and it was supeosed that, tho
child having been fed from it, her health would have been
affected thereby. There was six or seven shillings and
some pence also found on the prisoner. Verdict, " Death
from neglect."
SERIOUS COLLISION ON TIIE CLYDR.—On Friday
morning, at half-past nine o'clock, a serious collision oc-
curred on the Clyde, a little below Govan, between the
Princess Alice, on her passage from Londonderry, and the
Glasgow Citizen river steamer. The Citizen is very much
damaged, and we regret to add that • mother and child
have been drowned, and several people injured. The
young woman who, with her infant, has perished by this
catastrophe, was the wife of the pilot of the I)unoon Castle
tamer. The ease is alder investigation.—Seotemon.
