DEATH OF MISS LAURA: A b4bthissotrr.)
Miss Laura Addison, an English, actress, who ar-
rived a few months since in this country,
:died sud-
denly on the morning of the 2'i inst., on board the
steamboat Oregon, on her passage from Albany to
this city. The deceased bad been •to Niagra Falls
for the benefit of her health, accompanied by Mr.
James Mason, in whose family she bad been residing
for some time past. On the arrival, of the boat the
body was taken by the brother of ie deceased to his
residence, No. 230.,,Sullivan•street, with the consent
of Coroner Ivee, who will this day, at ten o'clock,
bold an inquest. Miss Addison performed one en-

The following statement bus been made to the co-
roner by the relatives :==Mrs. Howard, the ' sister
of deceased, a married lady, residing at No. 230,
Ludlo w-street, it seems received, on Wednesday, a
telegraphic dispatch from Albany, informing her that
Miss Addison had, that day, at about one 'o'clock,
expired, and for her to meet the btdy on the arrival
of the steam-boat Oregon. The result was that the
body was conveyed to the residence of the sister.
But from certain curious movements alleged to have
been made on the part of those who accompanied
the deceased, the relatives deemed it advisable to
have a post mortem examination made . of
the body, to ascertain, if possible, the true
cause of death. The sister thereupon called
on Dr. Fleet, her family physician, and wished him
to meke the examination. The doctor declined doing
so, and advised her to apply to the coroner of the
county for that purpose, if she entertained any suspi-
cion that the deceased bad come to her death by any
foul means ; hence the application was made to co-
roner Ives. The sister of deceased further says, that
on Thursday afternoon several gentlemen came to the
house and insisted upon the burial of the body t
among them Mr. Ring, a lawyer, who told her that
if she allowed a post mortem examination to be made
in her house she would be subjected to a fine of 1,000
dollars. The sister remonstrated with the gentlemen
for their hasty manner of disposing of the body, and
she informed them that the coroner had been notified
to hold an inquest. Several of the gentlemen then
spoke up and said that if she refused to give her con-
sent, they would remove the body away by force.
Mrs. Howard finding ultimately it was useless to pro-
test against the removal of the body, consented to
their wishes ; but she followed the body and saw it
deposited in a vault in the Second Avenue burying-
ground.
The Coroner, on the facts as above stated, ordered
a police officer to guard the vault, and not allow any
body to be removed unless by his permission. The
body of deceased will be exhumed, and the proper
legal investigation made by Dr. Lidell. We are in-
formed that Mr. Mason, Counsellor Ring, and several
others, have been subpoenaed to attend the inquest.

NEW HARNESi FOR HER MAJESTY's CARRlAGE-
vesterday had the pleasure of inspecting a
set of harness for the carriage horses of her Majesty, just
finished by Mr. Kay Dinsdale, of 314, Oxford-street. It is
executed in an entirely new ornamental style, remarkable
for the chasteness and elegance of its effect. The distinguish-
ing novelty of the decoration is the quill embroidery, which
has never before been employed for this purpose, and which,
on its jet-back basis of patent leather, has a singularly
beautiful appearance. In this case the material is cheap
enough, but the cost of working it in must be Very great,
from the amount of labour involved. The pattern, which is
a rich arabesque of flowers and foliage. is first drawn or
stamped on the leather, which has then to be carefully
pierced by hand with innumerable little slits or holes, through
which the strips of quill are drawn, and secured on the re-
verse side. 'Tbe bead-stalls or pads bear the royal cypher,
within a border of roses, thistles, and shamrocks. The harness
is silver-mounted; on the bosses are the royal arms and the
imperial crown, richly chased. The effect of the whole is
tasteful and rich in the highest degree compatible with the
design and character of an article intended for real work, and
not fir show only. We cannot doubt that a style of execu-
tion so comblete and appropriate will ensure it extensive
patronage.
