The Subscription Room to-day was more thinly attended than
we have seen for a very considerable time. Gebtlemen of the
Turf are at Brighton, Knutshford, Ipswich, or Derby, furthering
sporting speculations, or else rusticating this sultry weather.
There were but very few bets, which were made at the following
odds :

SUDDEN DEATHS FROM THE COUP DE SOLEIL

Yesterday morning, a young woman, named Catherine Redman,
a servant in the family of Mr. Chapman, of the Crown, Edgeware-
road, having been during the morning very much exposed to the
heat of the sun, it is supposed was seised with its direct rays, as she
was observed suddenly to become faint, and in endeavouring to get
into the house, she staggered a few paces towards the bar-door, tell
on her face, and expired. A medical man being sent for, declared
that lie thought it likely that the sun's rays, or coup de soleil, prG-
duced this awful visitation. Another similarly awful visitation or
sudden and unexpected death was presented about the same time in
the person of a poor Irish labourer, named Michael Hogan. The
poor man was at work o❑ some buildings in the High-street,
Giles's, and suddenly, having merely a moment to utter an Oar,.
lation, fell and expired without any visible sign of pain
agony. His dead body was carried home to the abode of liis
wife and family, and an inquest will be held.
COA cif Tuesday Mr. Walker's Wor-
thing coach broke down at Kingafold, a few miles from Horsham.
The coach was heavily laden, and several of the passengers were
much injured ; one lady was conveyed to Horsham, and yesterday
was in so dangerous a state that there was but little hopes of her
eccovery. A gentleman had his collar-bone broken, and several
others were •more or less injured. Messrs. J. Eames and Co.'s
coach Caine up soot, after the accident, and the coachman ((Hasse)
rendered every assistance it; his power to the passengers, and Coll.
veyed some of them to Horsham, where they received every pos-
sible attention and medical assistance. The coach that broke
down, we understand, is rot a regular stage, but one that has been
used for the display of tour-in. hand science, and that the immediate
cause of the accident was the breaking of one of the axle-trees.
