FATAL (kit ACClDENT.—Yesterday Mr. Hum-
' phreys coroner, held an inquiry at the Adam and Eve
Tavern, Lower Homerton, relative to the death from a
gun-shot wound, of Frederick Walker' aged 26 years. The
deceased, who was a hairdresser in llomerton, went out
with a double-barreled gun to shoot kinds on the Marshes,
on the lit instant. While passing through • hedge he
dragged the gun after him, and a twig catching the
trigger caused the hammer to fall on the cap ; the gun
went off and the deceased received the contents in hie chest
and shoulder. The report of the gun and the cries of the
deceased brought • young woman, named Susan Harwood,
to his eminence. He mid to her that he had caused the

the Hackney workhouse, where incited on the 11th. The
juii returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
THZ REDUCTION IN THE IRON TRADE. —On
Muaday morning about 600 puddlers, shinglers forgemen,
and millmen met at the Public Hall, to Con.
Eider the decision of the delegates' meeting of the 6th
inst. There were several speakers, and their tone was in
favour of holding out against the reduction. At two
o'clock (the meeting commenced at half-past ten) it was
determined unanimously that the meeting should concur
in the resolution passed by the delegates to strenuously
resist the reduction of wages. The meeting then
took into consideration a proposition relative to a
conference of ironworkers of England, Scotland,
and Wales, to be held on the 21st inst., at Briefly-
hill, in order that the various sections of the trade might
be merged into a union. The meeting determined that •
delegate meeting should be called to consider the matter.
A meeting of employers and empforris, at the request of
the latter, was held at the Bloomfield-works, Prince's-end,
on Mond*y morning, in order that the proposed reduction
might be dirawd. The Messrs. Barrows (proprietors of
the large ironworks at Factory and Bloomfield) were pre-
sent, and we understand four of the workmen attended as
• deputation. After an hour's discussion the men were
informed that the proprietors intended to keep to the
resolution period at the ironnisters' meeting, and the con-
ference broke up. We further understand that the men
were willing to meet the proprietors half-way as to the re-
duction. A meeting of the men was afterwards held is
the neighbourhood, but the result was not allowed to
transpire. Of Monday a numerously attended meeting el
ironworkers was held at the Hone and Jockey, Wolver-
hampton, at which the notice of • reduction of wages was
discussed, but no definite conclusion was arrived at, the
decision of the question being put off until the next meet-
ing. A crowded meeting of ironworkers, consisting el
mill sad forge men, and representing the whole of the
works in the district, was held at the Bull's Head, High-
street, to consider the proposed reduction of ironworkers'
wages. After a long discussion, it was resolved to adhere
Ito the resolution passed on Monday week, to strenuously
reedit the reduction. The meeting was adjourned till
Thursday, when delegates will attend from other districts.

extraordinary operation performed upon it by its nuns.
It appeared from the evidence that shortly after the birth

that the lump was a tumour connected with the spinal
coed, and known to the faculty by the name el rpise
biolda. Persona inflicted with the disease bad been knows
to live, with metal nand% to the age of 20 Mfg, but it
often proved fatal at an earlier Mose. The action of the
nurse had dsoia hastened the death of the child, but

longer it left alone. After bearing this evidence
the mew? refrained from returning a verdict of man-
=against Elizabeth Jones, but severely repri-
manded for her conduct.
