EXTRAORDINARY 6 LUC] DE.

NORWICH, SATURDAY.
An ingaset wu held last evening by Mr. Wilde,
coroner for this city, on the body of • young women. named
Harriet Hostler, who had committed suicide under very
melancholy and extraordinary circtunetences.
It appared from the evidence that a tender correspond-
ence had passed between the deceased and a man Lamed
Nicholas Haven, her uncle! A bundle of letters wee
handed to this person, when he was under examination,
and the coroner reed the oonoluding words of one of them,
es follows:—" Bo no more at present from your affenlonati;
lover, Nicholas Kenn." The witness said he had got
them written for him, and did not know what was in them.
The Comer reed other pastimes as follows :—" You are
first in my thoughts in the morning end the last at night.
My dearest girl, you must not keep me long waiting; I
youthink
yea are very long. Yon shall not be long before hear
hum me wain, sad if you will favour me with one of your
kind letters you will oblige your affectionate lover,"
"I hops you will meet me at the station at six o'clock on
Monday night. I shall be sure to come then. The greatest
tairm. I have now is to hope to sou your sweet 60e, my
So no more at present from your affectionate lover,
Nicholas Haven." . .•

The witness deolsred that ha did not wriui the letters pro-
duced himself, and that be had not promised marriage to the
girl, although he admitted that he had told herehe could
come and stop with him a week or two if she thought proper.
The medical evidence showed that the death of the de-
ceased had resulted from an overdoes of landstrom.
The Coroner remarked that if Karen had really promised
to many his nisei, and then had refused to do so, she would
naturally have fallen into great mental distress.
The jury returned tho following verdict That the de-
owes death was caused by ea overdose of laudanum, which
wee taken in an unaouud stets of mind, produced by the
villainous conduct of her uncle, Nicholas Haven."

Coon or Al.Daamaw.—A special court was held
on Saturday, at Guildhall, for the purpose of swearing Mr.
Thomas Chambers, Common flajeset, into office as Judge of
the Sheriffs' Coast pro tem, but, after that ceremony had beta
performed, Mr. Alderman Wilson brought ander the notice
of the court • matter which, he mid, was highly important
in conneacet with the rights end privileges of the City,
namely a scheme prepued by the Attorney-Gene d, at the
suggestion of the- Charity Ccennalmbessra to compel the
Crof Bethlehem and Brkiewell Hospitals to dispose of
and erect • sew building twenty miles from Lon-
don, and appropriate it to the reception of chuck= at their
diseretlon. He did not object to the power of the commis-
stoners to deal with the Income of a charity, but he thought
they sight not to possess the power of compelling the We
eta freehold without going to parliament. Sir P. Lamle,
as ens of the Bethel:than committee, laid the subject was
emeereenekleration, and that • report would be submitted
to • mating either governors, to be held next week, at which
all the aldermen, who are governors es well, weld attend to
discuss the qui stion. Sir R. Carden =reseed his opinion
that the commissioners were acting wisely in seeking to pat
to • profitable use property which had for years been lying
idle, while the Lord Mayor said the diem/don which had
just taken plies weed at all events do good by exciting the
Wend= of those who thought the City had • right to the we
of the hospitals for ha lunatic Foot,. The subject then
drofeed, and the overt adjourned.
Tim NEAPOLITANS AT COltx.—Tha following is
a translation of a letter from the Neapolitan exiles, written
in Italian, the substance of which was communicated to the
, Cork Improvement Committs :—. The Neapolitan exiles
feel it their duty to render publicly and mat heartily their
thanks to the mayor and the citizens of the most ancient end
illustrious city of Cork foe the humanity with which they
have been receivri by them, when, =der the guidance
of Divine Protidaeoe, they set foot on this picturesque
shore, after long, bitter, and unheard-of earrings, endured
serenely, under the shield of oonecions Innocence. Guilty
only of having kept faithfully solemn premiere sworn
to by the reverci name of God, of having loved sad de-
fended the free Institutions proper to civilised nations,
and of having abhorred foreign domination in Italy, they on
touching the soli of • country free, Powerful, and
saw with isexpeeAble joy the last link bunt of ttirr eireti:
which had teen rivetted on their feet by the does and
cowardly slaves of an autocratic power. But they =mot
=pee= lit,weeds their emotion at the affectionate solicitude
lavished upon them from the lint moment by the =Mee of
Cork ; they extended the hand of succour to the needy and
spoke to all those soothing words which tor ten peal=
had not beard. The melodious wag of the Hall=
will one day celebrate this cordial nceptica, and Italian
maidens wilt gag forth these hymns of gratitude. Ah I
unite mow your prayers to oun that Italy, that mother of
civilisation, that land oompeal of the dust of hero= which
holds all that we have dear on earth, may one day take its
seat among the nations, and may, by free and wise restitu-
tion', be rendered happy. Ladies of Cork, beautiful and
good, in your prayers forget not the wives, the sister,, the
children of the exiles who weep
.over their loved ones.—
Cork, March, 1859."

who scatter with their heeds jets of water from the mouths
of their water-bags (or mussuoks) with the regularity of
