CORONER'S INQUEST.

I

--~;;

Yesterday an Inquisition was held before CELL, Esq. at
the King's Head, James-street, lluekingharn.gate, on the body of
Charles Somers, who was dreadfully burnt at the late fire in Rose-
street, Long-acre.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Joseph Watchorn, clerk to
Meows. Spratley, lamp contractors, that the deceased was a couch-
smith in their employ ; about four o'clock a man was delivering a
quantity or essential oil, in carboys, into the premixes of Mr.
Spratley. situated in Rose-street, where the deceased was working
in a cellar underneath, and in placing down one of the carboys,
filled with the oil, he accidentally cracked it at the bouont, by put-
ting it down too hard upon the Moor, which happened to be MIME.
Mately over the smith's forge. Some of the oil dropped on the
deceased • and others at work there, and some on the
fir:, which instantly set the buildings In flames, and that
house, , with others adjoining, were au'ou burnt to the ground.
The deceased with his brother and another person :got out, but
dreadfully burnt. he (lecesaid) was conveyed to the Infirmary, his
brother to filidOlesex Iloxpital, and the other was carried home.
The person who was delivering the oil, lives with Messrs. Castle
and Morgan. Poplar, who gave witness the above account. lir•
told, on /tering the mischief occasioned in the breaking of the car.
boy, that he instantly juniper! into his cart and drove away. Each
carboy contained about five gallons of this oil ; he had safely de.
posited five of them, and it was putting down the sixth when the
accident happened. On witness going to the spot scarcely two
minutes after the accident ozeurted, he found the deceased rolling
himself in the kennel.

Alr. Arthur Leary, the Surgeon at the Infirmary, who attended
the deceased, stated he was most dreadfully burnt, and the injuries
be mistainecl were the caw:: of his death.

The Juty having consulted a short time, returned a verdict of—
" Accidental Death."

CASTLEBAR. JI NE 10.-011 Monday last, as Thomas
Gillinartin of Killalla, with two sons and a nephew of his, were
returning from the island of Barra with a boat.load alma manure,
tie boat ass sunk by a heavy surf in the channel. The crew were
picked no by some Norway sailors. Two of the boys seemed to
have mdierea little: but, melancholy to relate, Gillmartin and one
of his sons were taken up insensible, and notwithstanding the
prompt assistance of the Rev. Archdeacon Verschoyle, and Mr.
Robert Greta, a medical student (whose attention was umemittirg
' for several hours), every attempt to produce reanimation in the
elder Oil!martin proved unsuccessful : the vital spark had fled.
The boy, by great attention, was gestured, and is now ir. a fair way
**recovery. A Coroner's Inquiet was held ea the body. Verdict

The interest seems to increase rather than stbate, u was evident

attendance beMg greater than on Alontioy. The liveliest anxiety
was manifested by those present, not only on the match but on
the individasl shooting of the parties, upon which great bets at
emu were laid. The betting on Alonday and Tuesday evenings
at the different Sporting Houses in the AVest, on the several events
was immense. On the match the odds were 5 to 2 on Messrs.
Arrowsmitli and Osbaldestone, and II to 10 on them on this day's

INSTANCK OP ATTACHMENT:—VVIIPO
the late Edward Rushton, of Liverpool, early in life, was
engaged in the sea service, he had, probably without much
consideration, engaged himself as mate for a slave voyage
to Guinea. During his enema he was detached with a
boat's crew, of which Quamina, a negro on board, for
whom he had contracted a friendship, and whom he bad
taught to read, was one—to the shore. The boat upset,
and Rushton attempted to reach a small water-cask, a
point of safety which Quamina had already attained. 'f hat
poor African, with a warmth of generosity to which tutored
minds would probably have beet' strangers, selling that his
benefactor was too much exhausted to reach the cask,
pushed it from himself towards him, bade him" good-bye,"
and sunk to rise no more.

PRECAUTIONS IN BATIIING.—Never venture into cold
water when your body is much heated ; for Dr. Franklin
relates an instance, within his own knowledge, of four
young men who, having worked in the heat of the day,
with a view of refreshing themselves, plunged into a spring
of cold water; two died upon the spot, and a third the
next morning, and the fourth recovered with great dif-
fictilty.
Maui xcitoty Acctne Pty.—Early on Sunday evening
last. as Mr. J. C. Taylor, surgeon. of the Hay, was attempting to
ford the river Wye, between Botlyhrood and Pipton, the horse
'soddenly lost its tooting, and with the rider was carried into a very
deep part of the river, where, we regret to state, Mr. Taylor au
drowned. _ _

--- -----
ATTEMPTED SMEIDE.—On Tuesday afternoon a man
named Wood, an under-waiter at the Coffee-house, Charlton, So-
men,' Town, attempted self-destruction, by hanging himself in a
stable brhind the house. He was discovered shuns' immediately,
by some men who were in a loft over the stable, and who hearing
noise of an uncommon nature ran down to see the occasion of it,
and found him struggling to regain a hold of the beam from which
11.! was suspended. He is a man greatly addicted to drinking, and
for nine or ten days previously had been almost constantly In li-
quor. His wife, who has been long separated from him, is a moat
industrious woman, and supports herself anti several children very
decently. He has several times before made attempts oil his life ;
but no reason can be assigned for his extraordinary conduct, unless
it be found in the depression of spirit' naturally resulting from the
indulgence able vicious propeaustes.

Thy house, and lin the cup of life,
That honry.drop) thy pleasing wife.
HAPPINESS," the gay to-morrow of the mind," is
insured by marriage; " the strictest tie of perpetual friend-
ship" is a gift from 11 eaten , cementing pleasure with reason. be
which. mays Johnson, " we approach in borne degree of association
with celestial Intelligence."
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperatise duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the graver nature from those impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention are attributable many of those hapless
instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the be-
holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminixe the body--a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition, from wliisth the applied
sufierer more than ticuhts the chance of relief. To all such, then.
we address ourselves, offering hope, v ergy, muscular strength.
nor will our advances appear qu es don sble,sanat ioned as they
are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years' successful ex-pertace.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the
suspension of those blessings which concen:rate the nimbi! wreath
—fur the female habit is otten constitntinnally weak—yet it van be
strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion. OR well as io every relaxa-
tion of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to ere
speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unreel-
tag empiric from the position so presumptuously taken up, we
deviate from general principles whit has hesitation; and confident
in our own honourable integrity as Vetnbers of the College of
Surgeons, we refer the Wafering commurity of either sex (espe-
cially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house,
where daily attendance is given for personal consultation; and
letters front the country are immediate y answered; these must
contain a remittance for advice and medicine, which can be for.
warded to any part of the world, however distant.
