floated off again without having sustained say damage.

taken up to coove; the 47th Regiment of Foot to Quebec.

SrDDZN DEATH IN A DALL-Rooll.—While a party
of young persons were engaged in dancing, on Saturday
evening last, in the club-room of the Railway Inn, Statioo-
street, Birmingham, • young woman of nineteen, named
Eliza Bird, who was preset with her sweetheart, William
Nash, was taken suddenly ill after the first dance, and fell
bead foremost to the ground, and though assistance was im-
mediately rendered by those in the room, the poor girl
never spoke afterwards. An inquest was held on Mon-
day, a postmortem examination having been previously
made by Mr. Whymper, surgeon. That gentleman stated
that the liver and lungs were congested, and the brain so
much so as to present the appearance of a network spread
all over it. He ascribed the death of the demised, first
to tight lacing ,• and seenedly, to the stomach being full
of food, she having partaken of a very hearty meal
on Saturday evening. These causes, he believed, bad
combined to produce apoplexy. He understood that de-
oessed was a young woman of very temperate habits, and
there was not anything in the appearance of the body to
induce him to think otherwise. The heart was perfectly
healthy, end of the natural else. The coroner considered
that Mr. Whymper's evidence was quite conclusive ; the
hearty meal, the tight lacing, the exertion afterwards,
especially under the influence of the latter, and the tea-
dewy towards which the state of the liver pointed, were
ell sufficient to lead the jury to the mach:Won that desk
had resulted from apoplexy. The jury returned a verdict
aceordingly.
