GOOD AND BAD NEWS.—Bad news weakens
the action of the heart, oppresses the lungs, destroys the
appetite, stops digestion, and partially suspends all the
functions of the system. An emotion of shame flushes the
face; fear blanches it; joy illuminates it; and an instant
thrill electrifies a million of nerves. Surprise spurs the
pulse into a gallop. Delirium infuses great energy. Vo-
lition commands, and hundreds of muscles spring to exe-
cute. Powerful emotion often kills the body at a stroke ;
Diagoras, and Sophocles, died of joy at the Grecian
Games. The news of a defeat killed Phillip V. One of the
Popes died of an emotion of the ludicrous, on seeing his
pet monkey robed in pontificals, and occupying the chair
of state. Muley Moloc was carried upon the field of battle
in the last stages of an incurable disease ; upon seeing his
army give way, he rallied his panic-stricken troops, rolled
back the tide of battle, shouted victory, and died. The door-
keeper of Congress expired upon hearing of the surren-
der of Cornwallis. Eminent public speakers have often died
in the midst of an impassioned burst of eloquence, or when
the deep emotion that produced it suddenly subsided. La-
grave, the young Parisian, died a few months since, when
he heard.that the musical prize for which he had competed
was adjudged to another. The recent case of Hills, in
New York, is fresh in the memory of all. He was appre-
hended for theft, taken before the police, and though in
perfect health, mental agony forced the blood from his nos-
trils, and be was carried out and died. —Educational Ma-

DEATH OF A CHILD FROM SUFFOCATION.
--CAUTION TO PARENTS.—Yesterday an inquest was held
at the Wellesley Arms, Cromer-street, Brunswick-square,
before Mr. \Vakley, M. P., on the body of Lewis Hart, an
infant 19 months old. It appeared from the evidence that
the father of the child was a cloth-spinner, residing at
No. 8, Dutton-street, Brunswick-square. On Wednesday
night the parents were at supper, and the deceased being
on the father's lap, he very imprudently gave it a piece of
beefsteak, which, getting into the gullet, immediately
strangled the child. Mr. Hayman, a surgeon, was called
in, but all aid was unavailing. Verdict—" Accidental
Death."

STEAM-BOAT DISASTERS IN AMERICA.—The

rous others of leis consequence, comprehends the total loss
of eight vessels and 1,080 lives !--A Voice from America
