THE ACCH)F-NT AT BLACK YE IA 11.11-BRIDOIL —A few
days ago se account appeared in the Express d the
swamping of a boat near Blackfriambridge. It was stated
that the six persons who were thiss thrown in the water
were recovered ; but it appears that there was a seventh—
James Kent, a lighternum, aged 45—and that he was
drowned. Mr. Payne held an inquest on his Ludy yesterday,
sad a verdict of " Accidental death" was recorded.

On the tat ith tilt. a bash was prepared for him by Taylor, an
attendant in the epileptic and idiotic ward, while Paris,

After a protracted inquiry the following special verdict
was returned:—" We find that, on the 19th of September,
William Edwards did die from the mortal effects of in-
flammation of oar of his intestine., milled the duodenum,
oecasioced by big feet having become scalded accidentally,
sod that his feet were scalded as aforesaid by his having
stepped into the bath containing hot water only ; and the
jurors further say that there was great neglect on the
part of the attendant on Wm. Edwards sforeeiiil, but that
this neglect was mined by the want of proper rules in the

him to the station, and formally charged him with the crime,

PRIVATEERING AT • DisCOUNT.—There are many
signs that the Southern privateer, have nearly run their
rase. The most important of these is the ate which has
just come to light. Rev. Wni. B. Yates, • secession chap-
lain, writes to the Charirslon Morin., stating that, after
great effort, he has succeeded in obtaining some slight con-
tributions to the " Privateersmen% Relief Fund." But he
complains that at a public meeting, held apparently with
reference to the relief of thews "gallant" men, the people of
Ch,.rleaton showed unmistakeably that they approved of
" Lircoln's brand upon privateersmen." In spite of the
earnestness of his efforts, Mr. Yates could get relief for the
familias of only fourteen men.—Washington National

TRAVELLING IN INDI A. —We (Otedh Gicette) have

happened to an officer travelling with his wife from Meerut

at some place beyond Roark's, felling himself getting
worse, he took • rather liberal dosed brandy and lauda-
num, which threw him Into a date of total tusensibility.
The doolee-beerers, discovering this, set down the doolce,
and deliberately stripped him of everything he had—his
ring, his watch, his clothes, his boxes, his bedding—leaving
him literally naked. His wife, who had remained beck to
bring up the bagasse, coming up a short time Ottumwa',
was, as may be well imaeined, rather astonished to find him
in the state she tlid, still insensible. She, however, did
