Intact.

On Wednesday last, W. Brackwell, a young wa-
tennan, plying near the Custom-house put off from
the ►tairs of that place for the purpose of running
alongside one of the Gravesend steam-packets, t'a
land passengers. The steam-boat moving at the
time, he made rather a sudden exertion to lay hold.
in doing which, however, h.! imprudently jumped
too far a-bead, and lowered the stem of his own boat
so much, that it caught beneath the wheel and works
of the steam-packet, and lie was instantly sunk be-
low the latter. Every exertion was immediately
made to find the body ; but it was not discovered
until kith was -wholly extinct. It appeared from
bruises on the head and face, that the death was
accelerated, if nut altogether °Meted, by the vio.
lent concussion which he must have received on
being dashed against the works. The unfortunate
young man bore an excellent character, and was the
chief support of an aged mother. A Coroner's In-
quest sat on the body, and pronounced a verdict of—
Accidental Death.

An inquisition was taken at the Three Tons, Thames..
st reet, on Ttlesday, before F. Shelton, Esq. on the body
of a poor old creators named Mom Andrews. She had
been employed with her husband in picking hops in
Kent, where she had contracted disease from labour and
wa in, and they set out for London in expectation of
assistance from her daughter; they arrived at the llo-
rough-market on Friday morning, _between 9 and 10
o'clock, in such a Kate of exhaustion, that the tieceased
lay down, unable to proceed any farther; some homane
persons assisted has into a public-house, where she was
permitted to remain till her daughter was fetched, but
it did not appear that she had received any refreshment.
The daughter took her as far as London-bridge, and
her weakness increased so mulch that she was altoge-
ther unable to proceed ; her datiAluer, therefore, seated
her under the first coveted recess on the lioroty,h-side,
which is situate in the parish of St. Olave, where she
left her, and did not again return.. till between 6 and 7
at night, when she found her in the erne place in shak-
ing fits. The woman's condition drew round her a
considerable-crowd, who were all very cla tttttt oos, and
applied to the midge-beadle, who immediately went to
the house of Mr. Little, the assistant overseer of St.
()lave, in Tooley-street ; and from thence to Mr. Mu-
tton, another of the overseers, to whom he described the
distressed situation of the deceased. Mr. Dotson came
and viewed her, and offered to pay for a coach to convey
her home to Shoreditch, but could not find one. Soon
after Mr. Little came, attended by a marslialmars, and
pledged himself to the beadle "that the woman should
be • taken care of;" but -as soon as the beadle went
away, she W3S merely moved a few Neu farther into
the parish of St. Magnus, and there left with her
daughter, who presently after went away, as she said, to
fetch her husband, but she never returned. No further
notice was taken of the deceased-aill about 12 o'clock,
when a young woman named Kent, who resides in
Bermondsey-street, saw her lying on the ground, to all
appearance dying; she raid her up, and when the
watchman came round, she called his attention to her,
but he refused to render any assistance, because, as he
said, it was a mistake between the parishes, and that
she, having been bird in St. Olive s, established her
claim for relief there. About 3 o'clock in the morning
she expired, and then the watchmen carried the body
to the bone-house. It was afterwards opened by Mr.
N'aust, a surgeon, who found a quantity of water on the
chest, and the stomach quite empty. His opinion was,
that with proper care the deceased might have lived,
but the case was at all times hopeless. A gentleman of the
Jury desired to be informed whether any 01 the parish-
officers of St. Magnus were informed of the woman's
state in the course of the night. He was answered that
a parson had gone to the watch•house m tell the consta-
ble, but he did not attend. The Coroner sa,d it was a
met piece el business, to say the least of it, and he
would not hesitate to say, that the watchmen had be-
haved in the most ct i ttt inal inatmer. Indeed, this
poor woman seemed to have been neglected by the world
and the world's law. The room Was then cleared, and
a warns conversation ensued respecting the propriety of
passing a vote of censure: the whole of the Jury agr. ed
to it, tart the Coroner gave it as his legal opinion, that
such a step would subject thew to the consequences of
an action, when the idea was abandoned, and they re-
turned a terdict of—Nattnal death.

DONCASTER ST. Lrom—The Jockey Club de.
cided this race in favour of Antonio on Tuesday,
and thus the acts of the Stewards became nugatory,
and Mr. Lockwood, the judge, was correct. It
turned out upon enquiry, that all the horses did
absolutely start, except a restive me, and on Mr.
Lockwood asking it' they were all ready, no answer
was made to the contrary, and he said. " Go."—

On Tuesday last, a little girl, 5 years.old, named
Margaret Hemmingway, was at play with some
. other/ children, in -Red Lion market, St. Luke's,
when a lady, dressed in the first style of elegance
and fashion, decoyed the child away, with the pro.
. mist of buying her some fruit ; several of the other
children wanted to acetimpany their playmate, but
the lady told them to return, and she would soul
them some; but neither the lady nor the child has
been seen or heard of since. The mother of the
child has kept her bed ever since she heard of the

During the heavy gale of Thursday .se'nnight,
the ship Tiger, T. Smith, of and for Liverpool,
. from Barbarities, with sugar and cotton, struck on
: the Cunnybegs, south-west of the Saltees. .She
made water so fast that it was necessary to make for
the Irish coast. She went down, however, about
three miles off Rossenstown, a little south of Carn-
shore •point, on the Wexford coast, bet ween the
Saltees.and-Wexford. We regret to state, that 26,
some ray 29 persons were lost—at any rate all on
bor.rd, except a Negro steward and three of the
hands, who had the good fortune to escape. " These
four forined.part of the nine who took to the boat,
which lay off the coast _until morning, when she
. was swamped in the surf. The Tiger, we under-
stand, had several passengers, soma of great respect-
ability ; a Si r. Thornton has been named. The
vessel began shortly to go to pieces, as parts or the
wreck, and parcels of cotton have been washed ashore.
A small case has been found, labelled " Despatches;"
it his been. opened, and the papers. we are told, were
in good order; it contaised likewise a few guineas
and dollars. This very distressing accident would
suggest the propriety of a light-house at or near the
Salters. _ _ _

.tRt ILL ,—Tuesday next is fixed for the first
trial of Coxiile for publishing Tom Paine's -" 'Theo-

cession ; the first is, expected to occupy ten days at
least. It is said he has served the High Pricst of
the Jews with ,a subperna, to give evidence on his
trial. Adverting to the trial, and the manoeuvres
of the enemy, he has the following entertaining pa.
ragraph :—" I was intOrmed nearly a month since,
that a loyal declaration wouhl be ready fur signatures
in the City of London, expressive of its abhorrence
seditious and blasphemous publications, about a
week or ten days before my trial would tale. place.
This declaration iaa been made, and however direct
it might bare been levelled at me, I cannot plead
guilty of being its object, but do most heartily con-
cur in its premises, and consequently I attended at
the London Tavern, and placed my name and rid-
. dress to it, which I shell expect tame publ.whed to ith

The keelmen employed upon the Tyne have that
week struck • troek, and not suffered any keel, and
very. few wherries, to be worked upon the river
Their object is, we understand, to-make the coals
shipped from the staiths to contribute to the main,
tenant* of the hospital .fbr the support of their sick
and decayed brethren. 'this hospital is supported
by a rate of eight-pence a tide imposed upon every
keel navigating the river. When the act authori-
sing this rate was passed, nearly all the cools .ship-
ped in the Tyne were. carried to the ships by keels ;
but since that period, at the staiths of nearly all the
collieries below bridge, spouts have been erected, by
which the coals are now put on board the ships,
immediately from the waggons, without the inter-
vention of keels. This alteration in the trade has
supers led the use of so great a number of the keels
as were.etnpinyed on the river, that the remainder
are not equal to the support of the hospital. Under
these circumstances, the keelmen are desirous that
the coals shipped by the stiouts should pay a rate
of a penny a chaldren to the hospital. • They have
made a representation of their grievances to the
gentlemen of the coal trade, and that body.will, we
understand, take it into consideration.
