CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the sign of the
Royal Oak, in Whitechapel-road, before Mr. Baker, the
coroner, on the body of Ann Weakley, aged forty years.
From the evidence adduced it appeared that the deceased
had lived for some years with a journeyman butcher, and
had a family of 5 children by him. Owing to a serious
accident he was unable to work, and was compelled to go
to reside with his friends in the country leaving her to sup-
port her children in the best.way she could.: She procured
a miserable subsistence by charring, and, singular to say,
though frequently wanting the common necessaries of life
she had never applied for parochial relief. On Tuesday
morning the person who collects the rents of the house
where the deceased lodged, in Hairbreadth-court, Rose-
mary, perceiving the dreadful destitution she was in, ap-
plied to the relieving officer of Whitechapel, and requested
he would at once see her, and contribute something to her
immediate and pressing necessities. The officer proceeded
to the house at about 12 o'clock, and on the female who
lives on the ground-floor, going up-stairs, she saw her lying
on a miserable bed, apparently asleep, and her squalid chil-
dren, playing in a ,corner of the same apartment. The
woman went over to the bed to arouse her, but found that
she was quite dead. On going to view the bpdy, the
jurors evert horror-struck at the sretched appearance of
the miserable and filthy apartment in which it lay. •It
being the opinion of the medical man who had examined
the body, that death had been occasioned by apoplexy, the
jury returned a verdict to that e'ect. Three of the chil-
dren of the deceased, were removed to the workhouse, and
the other two sent to the Fever Hospital.
EXTRAORDINARY VERDICT.—Yesterday evening an in-
quest was held at the Seymour Arms, Seymour-street, Eus-
toriesquare, before Mr. SeettListo and a respectable jury, on
the body of Edward Elliot, an infant ten weeks old, whose
death was occasioned by an over-dose of syrup of poppies,
incautiously administered by the mother. The parents of
the deceased child live at No. 10, Southampton-street,
Euston-square. The infant, the subject of the present in-
quiry, has been in very delicate health since its birth, and,
when very peevish, the mother was in the habit of giving it
doses of syrup of poppies. On Saturday se'nniglit she gave
the deceased a larger dose than usual, for the purpose of
composing it. About a quarter of an hour afterwards the
babe was seized with a stupor, to which succeeded convul-
sions. Medical advice was obtained, but the deceased con-
tinued, off and on, in the same state until last Thursduy,
when it died. Some discussion took place amongit the
jury, who, in the first instance, returned a verdict—" net
the deceased died in consequence of an over-dose of poppies
being incautiously administered." Subsequently, however,
they retracted such, and, to the surprise of all preterit in
the Court., returned a verdict—" That the deceased died
by the visitation of God."

Mr. Houston and Mr. Legbourne, two American
missionaries, have obtained permission from the Greek
Government to establish schools at Acropolis, the capital of
Laconia. Their intention is to organize an elemental}, a
Lancasterian, and a Hellenic school.

The indigo sales commenced yesterday, and prices
generally have been pretty well maintained, although about
6,000 chests, we believe, were to be disposed of altogether.
A great deal has been recently said about a Company which
has been established; or proposed, in France, with a view of
putting into operation a supposed new discovery of a substi-
tute for this dye, and, therefore, perhaps it will not be unin-
teresting to say a few words on the subject. According to
the official returns of the importations into France, the con-
sumption of indigo during the last year is shown to have
fallen off to the amount of 6,000,000 francs, and this is
stated by different persons to have been occasioned by the
process of producing a substitute for i t; but we think it will
be found that this deficiency has arisen almost entirely from
the previous over-importation and the former high prices, in
the same way that cotton, tobacco, and almost everything
else has been reduced. This substitute for indigo has been
known and used in this country for a long time, and is still
indeed made use of in the neighbourhood of London to a
considerable extent. It produces a very beautiful blue, but
it will not stand heat after wet ; it it turns jet black on the
hot cylinder when the least moist, and even the tailor's
goose passing over the edges and seams renders it black
unless the cloth is particularly dry. The substitute is com-
posed, we believe, of the prussic of potash, blood, horns, and
hoofs of animals, bones, fish, cuttings of leather, &c. The
colour resists some acids, but it will not stand against others.
The formation of a Company for this purpose was attempted
some years since in this country, under the denomination of
"Substitute for Indigo British Company," but we believe it
totally failed, notwithstanding its advantages were put forth
in a ve y enticing manner, an 1 every c nc)uragement held out
to the public to take. shares ; while it was, moreover, stated
in the prospectus, that the cost of the substitute would be
only 2s. per lb., the mediurp price of indigo for the previous
eighteen years having been 7s. 1 kd. per lb.
