CORONER'S INQUESTS.

On Saturday afternoon an inquisition was taken at the Volunteer
public-bowie, Limehouse, before J. W. Uwwix, Esq. and a re-
spectable Jury, on view of the body of Mr. Wm. Maven Harvey,
late the principal clerk in the emploment of the conductors for the
new London-bridge. The deceased had arrived in a gig at the
timber-yard of Mr. Dixon, of Limehouse, when he was suddenly
seized with a violent pain in his heart, and soon afterwards was at-
tacked by strong convulsions, which based the skill of the phi-
sician and surgeon who attended him, and he died soon after.
Verdiet—" Died by the visitation of God."
On the same evening, and before the same Coroner, another In-
quisition was taken at the Ship and Green Dragon, King-street,
St. George's in the East, on view of the body (which on Thursday
last was found) of James Williams, the young man wham, it may
be recollected, we noticed during the last week as having some very
extraordinary presentiments as to his death.
The brother of the deceased stated, that he and the deceased,
with some friends of the latter, went down the river on Sunday
last in a small skiff on a party of pleasure ; the skiff knocked
against a vessel then coming up the river. and the deceased fell
overboard ; he did not see him failing, but thinks he overstretched
himself in endeavouring to keep the skiff clear of the vessel. Lie
was missed immediately, and an alarm was given. Thinks his
death was accidental. Several boats were employed in looking for,
the body. Deceased was 19 years of age.
Juror—Was there not a female on board ?
Wiuiess—There was, and she would have beets in attendance
only for indisposition, occasioned by the shock site had sustained.
Wm. Nesbitt corroborated the evidence of the last witness, and
in reply to a question from the Coroner, whether he had heard of
the stories which were in circulation as to the dreams of the ded
ceased, he replied, I did ; deceased told me of them, as he did
also several others. He had bought a new pair of shoes, on which
were punched some letters, by which he said lie should be known in
the event of his been drowned.

The Coroner recapitulated the evidence, and a verdict of " Ac.
cidental Death" was returned.

FI R rs.—Aboue two o'clock on Saturday morning a dc.
structive fire broke out in the extensive chair manufactory
of Mr. Nash, situate in Robert-street, Lambeth-tnarsb.
From the scarcity of water, the flames raged for some time
with great fury; and such was the alarm spread in the
neighbourhood, that the persons in the adjacent houses
threw their property out of the windows. By five o'clock
the fire had burned itself out, having destroyed all the
property on the premises.—Another fire broke out about
twelve o'clock, in the dwelling-house of Mr. Hogarth, of
' Prospect-place, Back-road, Whitechapel, which for some
time threatened serious consequences. By the timely ar•
rival of the firemen, and a plentiful supply of water, the
fire was confined to the premises of Mr. Hogarth, though
not until it had done very considerable damage.—A tire
broke, out on Saturday night, at one of the cottages occu-
pied by Mr. Gearing, Lear-lane, Cottestnere, Bucks. The
flames were first discovered at eleven o'clock, in the lower
part of the house ; but from what cause is not known. The
cottage was soon destroyed, together with a four-stall stable
(in which a horse was burnt to death), a coach-house and
two ricks. The adjoining house, belonging to Mr. Manton,
was levelled to the ground, and the inside of another, be-
longing to Captain Willoughby, was destroyed.
