LIFEBOAT SERVICE. MUNDESLEY, NORFOLK,
MONDAI NlGliT.—The barque Mary and Elizabeth, of
Whitby, stranded on the beach between Mundesley and
Banton, at 11 o'clock on Sunday night (says 0. Gordon,
Esq.). The lifeboat of the National lifeboat Institution
was thereupon immediately launched, and proceeded along-
side the ship, but the captain and crew decided to remain
in her till daylight, and the lifeboat returned to the shore.
The next morning, the sea having greatly increased, the
lifeboat again went off to the vessel, which had com-
menced to leak, and the crew at once came ashore in the
lifeboat. The wind at this time was blowing from the
north-east, and there was a heavy swell on. The barque
is likely to become a total wreck.

EITRAORDINARY DEATH OF A YOVNG GIRL.—
On Saturday evening, the Borough Coroner held an
inquest at the Sir John Falstaff inn, Albion-hill, on
the body of Clara Hollands, aged 17, who died sud-
denly. Deceased had been employed as servant for
about four months by Mrs. Erredge, of 51, Queen's-
road. During that time she had been in excellent
health, but on Wednesda she complained of severe
heal-ache, and on Friday became so unwell that she
was unable to do her work, and left to go home. On
her road thither the called at the house of a Mrs.
Harvey, 5, Richmond-square, with whose brother-in-
law she bad been keeping company. She there again
complained of her head, and remained at the house all
day, and in the evening became so ill that she was
carried upstairs to bed in an insensible state, and
her mother, who lives in Derby-place, was sent
for. Nearly an hour elapsed before she arrived,
and she went immediately for Mr. Sewell, surgeon.
Shortly after the mother was gone the girl died, and the
evidence of Mr. Sewell, who made a post mortem ex-
amination with the assistance of Mr. Plailllolll, showed
that there was considerable effusion in the right ventri-
olo of the brain, in which he discovered a large hydatld
cist. This he examined with a microscope, and found
it to consist of the ova or eggs of some parasitic in-
sect. For the presencA, of this Mr. Sewell could not
account. The disease was of rare occurrence, but when it
had occurred recorded cases showed that death had been
sudden. The insects were usually conveyed into
the system with food, and after depositing
their eggs they left the system. In course of tune the
ws are hatched, and death ensues if it baa not
taken place before. The disease was often communi-
cated to the system by eating " meaaley " pork, under-
done meat, or wateraresaes ; and Mr. Sewell said that it
was a very popular error to oppose that under-done meat
was the best for food. Should the meat be affected, heat
was the only thing that would kill the insects, and there
was therefore no danger in well-cooked meat. The jury
returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence of Mr.
SewelL—Brighton Examiner.
