D OP • HPSDAND AND WIPIA—Hr. W. Carter
held an inquest yeshxday at the Artichoke, New-tut, Lam-
beth, on the holy of Henry Hopping, aged 49, and Jane,
his wife, aged 48, who were found dead in bed, at their
lodgings, No. 35, Lower.morsia, some particulars of which
have already appeared in this journal. Samuel Chard, a
police.sergeant of the L division, said that on Wednesday
morning but, item certain information forwarded to Tower-
street statioixhoum, he proceeded to the second it 'Cr belt of
the premises belonging to Mr. Headman' a tea-dealer in
the Lower-sash, when on forcing the door he found
the deceased lying in a bed on the floor. There
was • part of a broken sofa against the door,
and witness had to use some force to get
the door open. He then went for Mr. Sewell, the surgeon,
who attended, but owing to the bad smell in the room, the
apartment was obliged to be fumigated. The window was
open, and witness examined tce sill of the same, and from
the dust en it he considered it imp4seitle for any one to have
entered the place and committed an act of violence.—Mr.
John Sewell, surgeon, of 9, Lower Marsh, raid that on the
morning is question he was sent for to roe the deceased. Pie
attended immediately, and found the email in the room
very offensive. The man was eitt.og upright, but the
woman was lying on her hack. The countenances of
both were distorted, and the nails oa the feet quite
black. He found a chalk mixture in a glee' on the
mantel piece, but nothing to lead him to suppose that
they had caused their own deaths. He had since opened
both bodies, and was *edified that the deceased
had died from Asiatic cholera,—Sophia Jeffries, a lodger in
the next room to the demoted, yid that she first missed the
two parties on Tuesday last. She mentioned the fact to the
people in the shop, but no inquiry was sada about them.
The next morning (Wednesday) she again mentioned ths
circumstance, when Mr. Heldman sent for the pol•ea and
bed the door forced. She saw the woman on Monday morn-
ing sod the man the same night, but neither of them spoke to
her. She was at home all day on Tuesday, but heard neither
of them vomiting or speaking. They quarrelled, however,
on the previous morning for some time.—The Coroner said
it seemed to him to be most extraordinary, that people liv-
ing in the next room should not have heard some noise from
the deceased, unless they immediately fell into a state of col.
lapin—Verdict, "Deaths from Asiatie cholera."

BakDPOßD.—There hats been M attacks of premonitory
diarrme t and confirmed cholera, and 36 fatal cases rep rted in
this union. It Is gratifying to bs able to sive that since
Monday no deaths hams been reported.
. . .

Bostow.—The cholera is committing great raysges in
Boston.
