inquests yesterday :—On the body of Lawrence Hendrick,
3,5 years old, who resided at No. 21, Blackstone-street. He
was employed at the chemical works of Mr. Ledward's, in
Pump.fields, and, on Wednesday morning, he died suddenly
while at work. Verdict, died from natural causes.—On the
body of a child, named Thomas Rushell, three years of age,
who was burned to death, in consequence of its mother
having left it, unprotected, in a room in the house, No. 95,
Fontenoy-street. Verdict, accidental death. [When will a
law be enacted to punish parents for thus exposing their
offspring to almost certain death ?]—On the body of
Samuel Parry, a cooper, who resided off Wood-street. It
appeared that death was the result of apoplexy, which,
according to the evidence, superinduced a fall. Verdict
accordingly.—On the body of Elizabeth Ann Nicholson, a
child two months old, that was accidentally smothered in
its mother's arms. Verdict accordingly.—On the body of
Robert Dingwall, a sailor, who died suddenly at his
lodgings in Crooked.lane, It appeared that, on Wednesday
last, the deceased had arrived from Calcutta, and on Satur-
day he was paid off, went on a spree, and died from the
effects of excessive drinking. Verdict accordingly.—On the
body of John Pennington, a mason, who died in conse-
quence of injuries received from a fall from a house in
Breckfield-road South. Verdict, accidental death.

[On Tuesday afternoon a respectable female jumped off
the London Pride steam boat, between Hungerford and
Waterloo bridge. Captain Blackett used every means to
save the unfortunate woman, but she sank instantly.
Mr. Odder, boatswain of the St. Jean d'Acre, was tried
at Malta for drunkenness, and reduced one grade, but no
court martial could have been more flattering, for both
his captain and commander spoke in the highest terms
of him, and he is stated to be the best boatswain in the

service.
THE BANK or WALES.—Sir Watkin Williams Wynn
and Mr. R. H. Cunliffe, who were lately advertised as
directors of the proposed Bank of Wales, having published
an intimation that, owing to the subscription list corn-
prising only a small proportion of Welsh names, they
have withdrawn from the undertaking. They admit that
the list contains a great number of persons of high
character and large capital, but their object was to sup-
port a pnroly Welsh hank, and not to connect themselves
with persons out of the principality, " for thee-Ike
of trading adventure."
FAILURE IN BELrAST.--,-A meeting of the creditors:9f
Messrs. John Mackenzie and Co., eminent distillers in
Belfast, was held on Saturday last, and was largely
attended. The statement presented was, it seems, much
more favourable than the reports current previously had
anticipated, The liabilities are £87,582. The assets con-
sist of stock and good debts to the amount of £16,346, of
course not including the distillery and machinery, and
some other minor items. A committee was appointed to
inspect the realization of the assets, and give the house
time to make a proposal to their creditors at a future
meeting. It is supposed that the dividend will be from
5s to 6s 8d in the pound, and it is understood that arrange-
ments are in progress to enable the house to resume active
operations very shortly. j,
