CORONER'S INQUEST.

THE LATE FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT NEAR.
WATERLOO-BRlDGE.—Yesterday afternoon the Jury
that had been sworn before Mr. Higgs to inquire into
the circumstances attending the death of James John
Rogers, aged 16, who, together with another youtb
named Henry John Hay,i was unfortunately drowned
by the boat in which they were coming in collision with
the Starlight steamer, on the night of Wednesday,
the 14th instant, re-assembled at the Savoy Palace
public-house, Savoy-street, Strand, to further prosecute
the inquiry.
It will be recollected that the body of Rogers being
picked up after the inquiry had commenced upon the
boy Hay, it was made a separate inquiry, but at the
first inquiry it was determined that as the evidence then
being given in the case of Hay must necessarily affect
this case also, it was agreed to adjourn until after the
first inquiry had been brought to a close.
The Jury having been sworn, the Coroner addressed
them, and said he had no doubt they were in possession
of the verdict returned in the previous case, and he
would leave it to them whether they would be guided
by that verdict, or have the whole of the evidence
gone over afresh.
The Jury thought there was no necessity for such a
proceeding, and after hearing a few words from two or
three of the witnesses, expressed themselves satisfied
that the unfortimate occurrence was purely accidental,
and returned a verdict accordingly, with a nominal
deodand of one shilling, accompanying the same with
similar observations to those made by the Jury in the
other case.

ORIGIN OF THE TURF-BOGS OF IRELAND
Formerly Ireland was a vast forest; so powerful was the
vegetation there, that it was called the island of wood.
It is now almost destitute of trees; and when, on a fine
day in spring, it appears, though bare, full of sap and
youth, it seems like a young and lovely girl deprived of
her hair. It is not known at what time and by what
cess this great destruction was effected. We may, bow.
ever, be assured that it was before the Christian era, and
probably at a much more distant date. Some attribute it
to an extraordinary inundation, which uprooted the trees,
levelled the forests, and buried them in the bosom of the
earth. Others, whose opinion is better supported by
scientific study, believe that the ruin of the forests was
the result of violent storms. When the lofty forests that
favored the country were compact and entire, they afforded
each other mutual support against the violence of the tem-
pests : but, in proportion as man, requiring an open spite*
for his house and field, effected clearances here and there,.
the trees near those that had been cut down were without
support against the fury of the hurricane, and fell before
blasts that were previously powerless; every ruin occa-
sioned by a tempest produced a thousand others, rendered
more easy as they were multiplied : the work of destruc-
tion went on. and all the fallen trunks, descending by the
natural declivities to the lakes and the marshy parts of the
soil, were stopped at this liquid base, where, heaped one
above the other, year after year, they were mingled to-
gether, some preserving their natural form, others decom-
posing into vegetable matter, until they formed that spopgio
combustible substance, sometimes red and sometimes
black, of which the vast turf-bogs of Ireland are com-
posed. —De Beaumont's Ireland, translated by Dr. Taylor`
