MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.--
Two BROTHERS DROWNED.—It is with much pain that
we announce a most distressing accident which occurred
on the morning of Wednesday last (Christmas-day) on
the river Irwell, near Eccles, by which two brothers,
in the prime of their youth, suddenly lost their lives in
a moment of amusement. The sufferers on this melan-
choly occasion were two sons of Mr. Preston, of the firm
of Bindlosses and Preston, silk-manufacturers, of this
town and of Eccles ;—one, Mr. Edward James Preston,
a young man of 26, who, we believe, was manager of
the mill at Eccles ; the other, Mr. William Preston,
aged 19, was a clerk in the South Lancashire Bank.
It appears that these gentlemen have for some time
past had a small sail-boat upon the river, in which
they frequently amused themselves by sailing between
the looks at Barton and Throstle Nest. .On Wednes-
day morning, they and four others got into the boat,
and proceeded up the river for a short distance, and
then turned round with the intention of beating down
against the wind, which was right a-head on their return.
Tney had not gone very far before a violent gust caught
the sails of the boat ; and the sheets (the ropes by
which the sails are held to the wind) being unfortunately
made fast, instead of being held in the hand, as they
ought to have been, the boat was overset, and the whole
party was precipitated into the water. Four of them
either got on shore themselves, or were assisted by
others, and escaped without serious consequences ; but
the two Messrs. Preston, after struggling for a short
time, sunk to the bottom and were drowned, and their
bodies were not recovered until the lapse of an hour,
when, of course, all attempts at resuscitation were en-
tirely hopeless. Both the young men were extremely
well known in this town, and their untimely death has
caused a general gloom amongst a very large circle of
friends. An inquest was held on the bodies at the
Grapes public-house, Eccles, on Thursday last, and a
verdict of " Accidental death" returned.—Manchater
Guardian.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—MELANCHOLY RE-
VERSE OF FORTUNE.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest
was held at the lied Lion public-house, Strand, before
William Gell, Esq., the Coroner for Westminster, on.
view of the body of Mrs. Mary M'Carthy, aged 45
years. It appeared from the evidence of the daughter
of the deceased, that her father was proprietor
of the Weekly Courier, which was brought out about a
year ago ; that he had taken the premises, 46, Strand,
with a view to the re-establishment of that Journal ;
that he had been in Whitecross-street prison for
three weeks, and that the family having re-
ceived no money from him had suffered grie-
vously from want of food. The deceased, at the
time of her marriage was in possession of between
6,000/. knd 7,0001., the greater part of which had been
expended in newspaper speculations. The family had
not applied to the parish for relief. One of the Jury
observed that on viewing the body the house presented
a scene of misery they had never before witnessed the
children h.,(1 neither bed-clothes nor .firing. Verdict—
" Natural death, accelerated by want of the common
necessaries of life, and the afflicted state of the mind of
the deceased."
