Last evening Mr. St. Clair Bedford, coroner for
Westminster, held an inquest at St. Anne's Vestry-
hall, Soho, upon the body of M. Nicholas Zorok do
Jobbahaza, an officer in the Hungarian and French
The deceased was stated to be a Hungarian

armies.

baron.

Mr. Beard appeared to represent Miss Vokins, the
landlady of the house No. •7, Leicester-place, where
the deceased committed suicide on Thursday last.
M. J. Leuthuerhorond, 39, Esher-street, Upper
Kennington-lane, said he was a teacher of languages.
He knew the deceased since 1813, when he was 10
years old, and a pupil under witness in a public
school. In 1848 he was a lieutenant in the Hunga-
rian army. The witness again saw him on the 4th
of October at No. 7, Leicester-place. He was in
' good health. He was always excitable, and when a
boy he ate some poisonous berries, which for a while
rendered him half mad. The witness did not know
whether he was in bad circumstances. He invited
the witness and others to &caf6 and also to dinner,
but he did not conic to the latter appointment.
Emile Loibl, Tichfield-street, proprietor of the
London Pavilion Music-hall, knew the deceased for
four weeks past by his frequenting the Pavilion. lie
was a perfect gentleman by education and manners.
The witness saw him at his lodgings in Leicester-
place at half-past 12 o'clock on Thursday. He owed
witness £4, and witness called upon him about it.
He said that another person who owed him money
would pay witness. He seemed much excited. He
was known as " the Count." Ihe deceased had stars
and orders, which he left with witness when he lent
the money.
Mr. Vincent Lamberger, proprietor of the Quad-
rant Hotel, said that he accompanied the last wit-
ness on Thursday last to see Mr. Jobbahaza, and to
ask him why he had not kept his promise about pay-
ing witness money. He said, " I will pay on the
4th." He was in bed. There was a strong smell of
brandy in the rooms. He had conic to witness with
epaulettes, &c., of the uniform of the French ser-
vice, and stated that he was a man of honour, and
that he was in great want, and required £l2. The
witness consented to let him have upon the
things, though he had not known him more than a
few days.

Honorine Zuts, 7, Leicester-place, a dressmaker,
in the service of Miss Vokins, said that the deceased
lived in that house for five weeks. He was strange
in his manner and excitable. On Thursday last,
after 12 o'clock, the witness heard from the work-
room where she was two detonations in the de-
ceased's room. She heard groans immediately after-
wards followed by a fall. She catered his bedroom
and saw his body lying on the floor. There was a
cloud of light smoke in the room. He was not quite
dead, and he tried to rise with witness's help. She
then saw a pistol on the floor underneath him. She
laid him down again, and called for assistance. The
previous night he gave witness a letter to post.
Thomas Pope, 103 C, said he was called in, and
he saw the deceased bleeding from two bullet
wounds in the breast. The six-barrelled re-
volver produced was in the room. The deceased
never spoke, and he died in a few seconds. He
was dressed only in drawers and a shirt. It was
then about 1 o'clock.

Police-sergeant llorsey, 6 C, said that four of the
chambers of the revolver were loaded with ball.
Eighteen similar balls were found in deceased's box.
While the witness was in the room a letter came
from the Foreign-office acknowledging the receipt of
a letter by Lord Russell asking for assistance, and
returning certain documents, with tho expression of
his lordship's regret that he could not lend M. do
Jobbahaza the aid (g,30) asked for until the 15th of
November.

M. C. Albert translated the following letter writ-
ten by the deceased to his Royal Highness the
Prince of 'Wales :
" Monseigneur,—ln addressing a few lines to your Royal
Highness, I boar in mind the fact that the English nation
is the grandest nation, but it is also the most generous, the
most delicate towards foreigners, and that you, Monseig-
neur, are destined to rule this noble people. I rely on the
exquisite tact of your Royal Highness not to misinterpret
the words which I address to you. Deign to listen to my
request ; if this request seems worthy of a certain interest,
be pleased to act upon it. Exiled from Hungary, after
having suffered a long captivity in an Austrian fortress for
the cause of my country, I am now an officer in the service
of France. I have served in Africa as an officer of tho
staff, and I have lost the use of my left leg from an acci-
dent of war. Wishing after a long absence to see my
family and to arrange my affairs with them, I gave them a
rendezvous in London. But the elections in Hungary
have prevented my relatives from coming to London after
I have been waiting here for them for three weeks. My
letters even remain without reply, and lam in a terrible
embarrassment and without resources. Thus left without
means, my natural pride and afeeling of shame forbid me to
apply. to the French Embassy. I address myself with confi-
dence to the future King of England, the name which is syno-
nymous with greatness, delicacy, and discretion ; and I sup-
plicate your Royal Highness to graciously advance me £5O,
and to transmit it to me by some confidential person. I
pledge my word, as an officer and a gentleman, to pay this
sum on the Ist January, 18GG, to whomsoever your Royal
Highness may designate. My position is my only excuse.
As an officer and a gentleman I could only address myself
to a Sovereingn or a future Sovereign.
" Deign to permit, &c.,
"EDES, Comte do Zorok, Baron de Jobbahaza,
Officier de'Ordonnance, General le grand
division d'Orau en Algerie."

A letter from Lieut.-Gen. Knollys, expressing the
regret of his Royal Highness at not having it in his
power to accede to the request was then read.

The deceased then addressed two other letters to
Gen. lino Ups, requesting that £2O should be lent to
him to enable him to settle with small creditors,
whose insults were worse than death. Gen. Knollys,
however, declined to do so.
A leave of absence from the French Min Liter of
War for 15 days, and renewed until the 30th Octo-
ber, was also put in. The deceased also wrote a
letter to the Countess Tekeli, but it was returned
through the Dead-letter Office.

Dr. T. H. Clark, 23, Gerrard-street, Soho, proved
that deceased died from two pistol shots in the left
side.

Ihe Coroner having summed up, the jury returned
a verdict of " Suicide while of unsound mind."

NoTrnianAm, Bth.—There is not quite so much
doing in the lace trade this week. Cotton goods,
however, continue in rather more request than they
usually are at this time of the year. The plain trade
remains dull. Silk Mechlins:and quillings are quiet,
and there is no improvement in the demand for
black laces or narrow edgings. Stocks are low, and
buyers purchase for immediate requirements only.
The demand for all classes of hosiery goods in re-
quest at this season is brisk. There are numerous
orders on hand, for the American market, and there
is a good amount of business doing for home con-
sumption. The yarn market is less firm, and some
numbers arc easier to buy.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] —That the fearful annual mortality or
60,000 young children and delicate persons of all ages may be
arrested, if, instead of flying blindly to pills and medicines,
which, though apparently relieving the patient, hare in
reality no o.her tendency than that of increasing debility,
and with it the danger of life, we were simply to study how
to increase the vital force by imparting new and pure blood,
upon which the harmonious development of the whole frame
depends, has been successfully proved by Du Barry's inva-
lids' and Infadts' Food, the Revalenta Arabica, and its
thousands of cures annually. It yields three times as mush
easily assimilated nourishment as the best meat. and for
children it is the best substitute I% human milk. Dr.
Routh, physician to the Samaritan Hospital for Women and
Children—the best authority on such matters —in his admir-
able publication on Food, says—Amongst the vegetable sub-
stances, th .t which comes closest t milk in its composition
is, without doubt, Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, con-
aining both phosphoric acid in abundance and chloride of
potassium ; it also includes casein, the same principle which
is found in milk in its constituent parts. No wonder, there-
fore, that under its influence many children affected with
atrophy (wasting away of the body), and marked debt ily,
have completely recovered. I have given it with the &reatest
advantage in such cases ; and so far as I may judge from my
own experience, practice fully carries out what theory.
from a knowledge of its composition, led us to anticipate.—
