CORONER'S INQUESTS.

Yesterday the Coroner held the following inquests :
On the bodies of Elizabeth Hill, 34 years of age, and
Henry Woodcock, 8 years old, two of the persons lost by
the sinking of the fdlt Sampson. The particulars of this
unfortunate affair appeared fully in our paper of yesterday.
The evidence in the case was just the same as we have
already published. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci-
dental death."

On the body of William King, who hanged himself in
Jordan-street bridewell, on Monday night. The deceased
was a master mariner, and was 5G years of age. He lodged
at 110, Pilt-street. He was drunk on Monday night, and
was locked up for annoying a femele, and whilst in bride-
well he managed to hang himself, alth ,ugh it would appear
the keeper paid every attention to him. The jury found
"That he hung himself whilst in a sta',e of insanity."
On the body of a child named Mary Anne M'Cahe, who
wee overlain in a court off Mansfield-street. Verdict,
" Accidental death."
On the body of William Howarth, a labourer, 44 years
of age, who lived at 67, Wolfe-street, who, about nine
weeks ago, got his leg hurt, and died from the effects.
Verdict, "Accidental death "

AN OSTENTATIOUS SUICIDE. —A Baron de 8., who lost
his fortune by speculations on the Paris Bourse, and who
subsequently raised money on bills, drove on Sunday from
the Rue de Rivoli, where he occupied a handsome apart-
ment, to Notre Dame, where he committed suicide by
throwing himself from the tower. He held in his hand a
summons which he had received from the Pracureur Im-
perial, to answer a charge of forgery. His body was
conveyed to the Morgue.
FANATICAL OUTRAGES AT TUNIS.—News from Tunis to
theist instant has arrived via Marseilles, and thence by
telegraph. A Jew at Tunis haring been insulted by the
Moors, and having replied with blasphemies against
the religion of Mahemmed, eves thrown into prison, and
was afterwards beheaded, and his corpse abandoned to the
insults of the mob. The consuls unanimously protested
against these outrages, and Mr. Crowe, the Eriglisle vice_
consul, has. arrived at Marseilles, the bearer of a protest
against the conduct of the Bey.
A PRECOCIOUS PLACE HUNTER.—A Southern United
States paper, The Atalanta [Ga.] Intelkqencere publishes
the following xquisi,e eroduction :—" Atalanta, Ga., Nov.
10, 1856. Hon. James Buchannan. Dear Sir,—The
electi .n is now over, and you are President. Daring the
canvass I have hollered for you until I am hoarse, and my
throat is sere, and I have spent all my small change. If
you have got any office that would suit a boy of my age,
thirteen years, I would like to have it—and if nor, please
send me tea dollars.—Yours respectfully,—." That youth
will get on.
A HERO INDEED.—Viosiuf relates that at the battle of
Tiberia-, a certain Knight of the Temple, by birch a Ger-
man, named Jakeline de Maine, provoked the enemy, by
his extraordinary valour, to turn all their attacks on him.
His fellow soldiers, who were estimated at about 500 in
number, were all either taken or slain, and he alone sus-
tained the weight of the whole battle. At length, hemmed
in by the enemy's troops, and destitute of all human aid,
seeing so many thousands rushing upon him on every side.
he gathered up his whole counge for an effort, and bravely
faced the foe alone. his valour attracted the admiration
of his enemies; they were filled with compassion for him,
and called earnestly to him to surrender. He, however,
turning a deaf ear to their exhortations, was not afraid to
die for Christ's cause ; but overwhelmed with the load of
jay: line, stories, and lances, rather than vanquished, he,
at length, was with difficulty slain. His death was ren-
dered glorious, indeed, since by his single sword se large a
circle of dead bodies had been heaped around him.—Half
Holiday. _

A hUT RICEPTTON. —At the Worship-street Police
Court, London, on Tuesday, Mary Sullivan, a fiery-faced
little woman, and her married daughter, Mary Ann Car-
roll, were charged with having violently assaulted a
sheriff's officer and two of his assistants, while in the
execution of their (Intr. It appeared, from the evidence of
William Strong, the first couj:Linant, th it a warrant of
ejectment from the Whitechapd C,unty Court having been
placed in his hands for execution against a colony of low
Irish, who had established themselves in Castle-alley,
Whitechapd, he proceeded there on Saturday last, and
gave notice at the several houses of his intention to return
on Monday to enforce the process. On his arrival at the
place with his assistants, at the time stated, he found a
mob of between 200 and 300 persons collected for the
purpose of resisting their authority, but they managed to
force their wav to the first house, on reaching which the
orisoners ',resented themselves at one of tba upper win-
dows with two pails of hot water, which they discharged
over their beads. Their clothes were completdy saturated
with the scalding fold, which compelled them to retreat
precipitately, and Wain the assistance of a posse of
policemen, who ultimately secured the prisoners. The
woman Sullivan, however, offered a desperate resistance,
in the course of which she attacked witness and his
assistants with savage ferocity, and it required the corn-
biued efforts of three constables to convey her to the
station-house. Mr. John Edward Drews, a solicitor's
clerk, and John Haydon, the sheriff's official assistant, were
also examined, and gave corroborative evidence. • Mr.
D'Eyncourt said that, although the prisoners had apparently
acted in ignorance of the law, they had committed a gross
outrage, for which he should order each of them to pay a
penalty of 10s, or to be committed for eight days to the
base of Correction.

CASH AND DEED Boxxs.—The next important thing to the posses-
Mon of cash is, how (when you have got it) to keep it. safely, either in
the counting-house or at home. The same remarks apply to deeds
and other valuable documents. We have seen a large and varied
stock of both these desirable articles, manufactured expressly for Mr.
E. T. Hall, of South John-sireet,.that challenge attention. These
'boxes are made on new and admired, principles, and possess patent
locks, which defy the ingenuity of asy "pick-lock" in . the world to
open, except with the legitimate key. To merchants, solicitors, and
others, these new safes, on a small reale, must prove valuable ndeed
