DEATH OF MISS LAU A ADDISON.
(From the New York Herald of the 4th inst.)
Miss Laura Addison, an English actress, who ar-
rived a few months since in this country, died sud-
denly on the morning of the 2d 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 had been residing
for some time past. On the arrival of the boat the
body was taken by the brother of the deceased to his
residence, No. 230, Sullivan-street, with the consent
of Coroner Ives, who will this day, at ten o'clock,
hold an inquest. Miss Addison performed one en-
gagement at the Broadway Theatre in this city, and
one in Boston or Philadelphia. Owing to the state
of her health, she was then obliged to leave the stage.
Yesterday, at the request of the sister of the de-
examination on
pthoestbo7tadhoyert
ceased, a surgeon was called to hold a post mortem
minds of the relatives respecting the real cause of
death. Accordingly aecinsorsuspicions rested in the
Dr. Lidell, the coroner, accompanied by
yester-
day morning to No. 230,
vel :net'

a view of making the necessary
wwh ei
tnh,
to their surprise, they ascertained thaltgathleon'bod of
Mason and
Miss Addison had been removed from the houseythe
previous afternoon, by Mr.
others, who
caused the same to be buried in the Second Avenue'
burying-ground.
The following statement has been made to the co-
roner by the relatives :—Mrs. Howard, the sister
of deceased, a married lady, residing at No. 230,
Ludlo westreet, 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 body 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 passible, 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 had 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 ;
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.
Since the above was in type we have seen Mr.
James J. Ring, who has placed us in possession of
many other facts in this lamentable affair, and given
us, no doubt, the true version of the whole matter.
Mr. Ring says that for some months past the deceased
had been travelling with Mr. and Mrs. Mason, and
in Louisville, Kentucky, she was taken ill with fever
on the brain ; after a short time she recovered suffi-
ciently to proceed to Niagara Falls. Here she again
was taken ill, during which time she was attended by
the best physicians to be found in the vicinity, who
informed her friends that much danger was to be an-
ticipated ; however, she recovered sufficiently to
enable her to proceed as far as Buffalo; here again
she was taken down sick, and at times became almost
a raving maniac ; but on Monday last she rallied
somewhat,to andrn proceed

in attendance severe
that afternoon. The body was then conveyed to this
city,and as decomposition of the body had already
far advanced, it was deemed advisable by Mr. Ring
and Mr. Mason that the body should be placed in a,
receiving vault. Accordingly the funeral was an-
nounced, the Rev. Mr. Anthon performed the sacred
rites on the occasion, and the body was deposited in
the private vault owned by Mr. Ring in
the Second
Avenue burying-ground.

The rumoured report that the deceased had met her
death by some foul means, Mr. Ring asserts, is cruel
in the extreme ; on the contrary, Mr. and Mrs.
Mason had done all in their power that was possible
for them to do, with the fond hope of being able to
restore her once more to health ; but, according to
the opinion of the best medical evidence, the fever
bad completely destroyed her reason, and sbe sank
under its fatal effects. Mr. Ring further adds that
no objection was ever made to a post mortetn exami-
nation of the body at a proper season, but not to
delay the obsequies on the day of the funeral. Every
facility will be given by
the friends of the deceased and the public mind, that
the death was one of natural causes. The certificates
of several of the physiciansdeceased

NEW HARNESS YOE HER MAJESTY'S CARRIAGE..
lionsEs.--We yesterday bad the pleasure of inspecting a
set of harness for the carriage horses of her Majesty, just
finished b Mr Kav Dinsdale, of 314, Oxford•street. It is
7 • -
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 ptesv
jet.bbeafcokre
bbaseeisn purpose,eomfplpoayteedntforletahthiser,hasa
and which,
on singularly
beautiful appearance. In this case the material is cheap
enougb, but the cost of working it in must be very groat,
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. 'The head-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 for show only. We cannot doubt that a style of execu-
tion so complete and appropriate will ensure it extensive
patronage.
