CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Yesterday an inquest was held at the Queen's
Head and Artichoke, Albany-street, Regent's-park,
on the body of Miss Charlotte Both, aged 28.
Mr. Lamb, surgeon, of 52, York-street, Regent's-
park, said that about half-past eleven o'clock on
Monday night he was cent for to attend the de-
ceased and her sister. He found them in their bed-
chamber, in a state of stupor, and apparently labour-
ing under the effects of poison. With the assist-
ance of some other medical gentlemen, the stomach-
pump NA as applied to the deceased and her sister.—
The latter acknowledged that she and the deceased
had taken, about an hour previously, an ounce of
laudanum and twelve grains of opium each. On
examlng the contents of the stomachs of both sis-
ters, laudanum and opium were discovered. The
deceased died on Tuesday morning.
Two other medical gentlemen corroborated this
statement.

Mrs. Percival, of 157, Albany-street, said that
the deceased and her sister engaged furnished apart-
ments in her house about a month since. They
were highly recommended by a lady with whom
they had lately re,ided. Wirness provided them
with board. Their style of living was simple, and
their general conduct strictly prudent. On Mon-
day night witness, hearing groans in her bed-cham-
ber, called to them, and receiving no reply, had the
door forced open, and the two sisters were discovered
lying in bed; the deceased was insensible, but the
other was capable of answering the questions put to
her. On inquiring of the survivor what was the
cause of the groans, she answered, that it was usual
for her sister to make that noise in her sleep. Wit-
ness, however, sent for Mr. Lamb, as she suspected
they had taken poison.
The witness's daughter corroborated the above
statement. _ _ .

Mr. Simpson, parish officer of Poplar, rela►ed the
circumstances relat►ve to the deceased and her sister
attempting to drown themselves in June last, wh. n
the younger sister perished. Witness had con-
versed with them upon the great sympathy and
kindness that was shown them, when the deceased
replied that she and her sister had not been treated
as ladies of their birth and education ought to bare
been, and expressed much ingratitude.
This was the whole of the evidence.

The Jury inquired if the surviving sister was in
that state to give testimony ?--The medical gentle-
men stated that she was in a very dangerous, fluc-
tuating state, and wholly unfit to be examined. A
verdict was returned—" That the deceased poisoned
herself in a state of temporary mental derangement."

On Nirednesday evening a Coroner's Inquest was
held at six o'clock. Mr. PAYNE, the City Coroner,
and a respectable Jury, assembled, pursuant to ad-
journment, in the Committee-room of St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital, to investigate the cause of the
death of Louisa Birdseye, aged fifteen, who came
by her death under• the following circumstances :
The Jury viewed the body, which was burnt in a
shocking manner.
Mary Robinson, of Popham's-row, Islington, said
that the deceased lived with her mother, next door
to witness. On the night of Monday fortn;ght,
about eight o'clock, she was in her apartment, when
she heard a rushing noise and screaming, and on
proceeding to her door she saw the deceased all in
flames. Mr. Lawrence, a neighbour, got a carpet,
and put them out. The deceased told witness that
her mother was intoxicated, and pushed her into
the fire.

William Harrow Green, surgeon to St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital, proved that the deceased died in
consequence of several extensive injuries by burn-
ing. She did not blame her mother.
Sarah Fordham, a nurse who attended the de-
ceased, said that she was in the room with her
mother, who pushed her into the fire. She asked
her whether she would forgive her. The deceased
said she would not. Witness said it would not be
right to die without forgiving her. She then said,
" Well, I do forgive her ;" and she prayed that God
might do so.
Mr. Brown brought the deceased to the hospital.
On the road she exclaimed, " Oh, my wicked
mother !"
Frank Brown, a schoolmaster at Islington school,
accompanied the deceased in a coach. She fre-
quently said, " Oh, my wicked mother !" She
was in great pain. Witness said she could not live,
she was so much burnt.
Mr. Robert Simple, surgeon, of Islington, stated
that he was called upon to attend the deceased on
the 29th of last month. She said her mother
pushed her into the fire. Her legs, arms, face,
and shoulders, were literally roasted. He sent her
to the hospital, under the impression that she could
not survive. It was the full impression on his mind
that the mother had pushed her into the fire. Wit-
ness asked the deceased if her mother was sober,
and she said she was not.
Other witnesses were examined, and the Jury re-
turned a verdict—" That the deceased came to her
death by burning, but there was not sufficient evi-
deuce before the Jury to warrant them in saying
how it was occasioned."

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—III the case of
WArrs v. LAWSON and others, which was left unfinished
when we went to press yesterday, the Jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 501.

The following extraordinary statement is made
in a Belfast Paper :—" A good fire, on a winter day,
at a mere trifling expense, is of importance to a poor
man. One penny-worth of tar, or rosin water, will sa-
turate a tub of coals with triple its original quantity of
bitumen (the principal of heat and light), and, of course,
render one such tub of three time' more valve than it was
unsaturated."

GOING--GOING-.GONE Tuesday
evening, while an auctioneer of this town was selling
some furniture in a room in the lower part of the High-
street, which was crowded to excess, and while the said
auctioneer was expatiating in a full and flowing tide of
eloquence on the excellent quality and usefulness of a fry-
ing-pan, or perhaps some other culinary utensil, with
his
hand and hammer raised ready to strike the final blow in
favour of the highest bidder, the company were astonished
by a report in the room as loud as the firing of a pistol,
followed by the immediate sinking of the floor. Every
face assumed an expression of blank horror, of so paralysing
a nature, that, for nearly a minute, no one dared to move.
At length the hero of the rostrum, finding that the floor
had paused in its descent, after falling nearly two feet,
sprung from his elevated position, and sauve qui pest,
became the order of the day. His hearers " stood not
upon the order of their going, but went at once," flying
into the open air far safety, with an alacrity which would
have done honour to the inhabitants of Bucharest, who, a
few weeks since, were aroused from their slumbers by the
awful rolling* and vibration of an earthquake.— Chelten-
ham Chronicle.

EXTRAORDINARY HABITATION.--The
northern bank of the Orinoco, the great river of South
America, is covered with palms of the Mauritia, which
produce farinaceous matter, or sago. The whole country
in which they abound is subject to inundations ; and the
fan-like branches of these trees look like a forest which
rises out of the bosom of the waters. The navigator
who passes along the delta of the Orinoco is surprised to
see the tops of these trees lighted with fires. They are
kindled by a people (the guanacas) who have remained for
ages in these marshy districts, secured front the floods by
living in the palms. In the branches they suspend mats,
which they fill with clay, and on this damp hearth kindle
the fires which are necessary for their comfort. Sir
WALTER. RALEIGH saw and described the people. The
palm offers to this race, as well as to other tribes who in-
habit the Gulf of Darien, and the watery lands between
the Guarapatha and the mouths of Amazon, a safe habi-
tation amidst the great inundations to which those coun-
tries are subject. But it affords also, in its fruit, its fa-
rinaceous bark, its sap abounding with sugar, and its
fibrous stalks, pleasant food to eat, wine to drink, and
thread to make cordage and hammocks. "It is curious
to behold," says HuarnoLnr, " in the lowest stage of ci-
vilization, the existence of a whole race depending upon a
single species of palm, in a similar degree with those in-
sects which subsist upon one species of flower."— Library

HULL MARKET.—Jan. 12.
The supply of Wheat from the farmers was only limited,
yet quite sufficient for the demand, which was confined
chiefly to the millers ; the best dry samples support late
prices, %chile the middling and ordinary runs, of which
the greater bulk shown consist, are very difficult to quit ;
the best runs of foreign are the only description inquired
after, and such support late prices. Oats, Beans, and
Pease, are each in very limited demand. The best de-
scriptions of Barley are not so free "ate as last week, ye'
in the business passing no alteration in value can be noted;

FATAL RESULT OF FRIGHTENING
CIII LI). —Some time ago a lady in a considerable town is
Yorkshire went out to a neighbour's house to take tea,
along with her husband, and left her little family to the
care of her servants. In the course of the evening she felt
very uneasy, and being itnpressal with an idea that all
was not right at home, she left her friend's house early..."
On arriving at her home, she found that her servants, In
the exercise of High Life Below Stairs, had collected
social party. This she passed over without ebservatioof
and proceeding up stairs to the nursery, she was surpriee4
by a terrific figure at the bottom of the bed of the younge°
child, which was but three years of age. The fact Wo'
that the nurse-maid, finding the child not very ready to g°
to rest, and being loth to be disturbed in her evening's ell'
joyment, by its crying, had dressed up and placed the
fissure alluded to at the bottom of the infant's bed, with tt
view of frightening it to sleep. The contrary effect has'
however, been produced—the child had been horroi"
struck, and appeared to its mother with its eyes fixed, to
an idiotic stare, upon the image. Astonished and die
tressed, she rung the hell, and then proceeded to take nit
her infant—but lo it was a lifeless corpse; the frigV
occasioned by the nurse's folly had been too much for tbd
little innocent.— York Herald.
