FIRE AND Loss OF Lm.—Last Saturday Mr. Brent
held an inquest in the Royal Free Hospital, on Corne-
lius Donovan, an itinerant street vendor of lucifer
matches, whose death occurred under the following cir-
cumstances :—Edward Howard, residing at No. 18,
Bell's-court, Gray's-inn-lane, said his attention was at-
aacted on Monday forenoon by a cry of " Fire," and
smoke issuing from the back window of No. 6, Pheas-
ant-court. He hastened into the latter court, and, on
arriving before No. 6, all the occupants were in great
confusion, throwing their furniture out of the windows,
and crying out lustily that the house was on fire. Wit-
ness rushed up stairs, but on arriving on the second
floor, several of the lodgers surrounded him, and begged
not to go up further, as there was a man burning. On
hearing this, and finding that the poor creature was left
to his fate, witness hurried to the third floor, where he
found the front room on fire, and could see through the
smoke the deceased sitting in the middle of the apaat-
ment enveloped in flames. Witness instantly dashed
through the fire, and with the greatest difficulty suc-
ceeded in dragging him out of the room, as he held on
to a table, the only furniture in the apartment, and
called out, as well as his exhausted state would
al-
low, "My money, my money 1" Having
carried
him
into the passage, witness, by means of pails of water,
extinguished the fire but not before the wretched man
was completely charred. The police shortly. afterwards
arrived and took the deceased to the hospital, where he
died the following day. In answer to the coroner, the
witness said that none in the house had the humanity
to help him in saving the aged sufferer. The only part
of the house injured was the room in which the deceased
resided. After the fire was put out, a purse containing
14s. was found in the table drawer. Even after he was
dragged from the apartment, deceased attempted to re-
gain it for the purpose of getting possession of the
purse. It further appeared that the unfortunate de-
ceased, who was in his 80th year, lived in the wretched
hovel where he met with his death, denying himself the
common necessaries of life and sleeping on straw. The
fire was supposed to have originated from some lighted
lucifers falling among the straw.' Howard stated that
he considered the deceased lost his life through his at-
tempting to secure his little savings. Verdict, " Acci-
dental Death," accompanied with the jury's approbation
of the conduct of Edward Howard, who, at the risk of
his own, endeavoured to save a fellow-creature's life.
At the close of the inquiry, Mr. Kirkenven, the house-
surgeon,.requested to know what should be done with
the 14s. in case no relative came forward ? The coroner
andjury considered that, in that case, the hospital was
fully entitled to it. ►

LADVERTISEMENT .I—SPORTSMEN'S, DEER-STALK-
ERS', AND TOURISTS' EXTRAORDINARY MUNICH GERMAN
GLASS TELESCOPES.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
Observe, opposite the York Hotel. - The Royal Exhibition.
-A valuable, newly-invented, very small powerful waist•
coat-pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person
can be seen and known one mile and a half distant ;
they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the
opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most important
invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 3} inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles,
They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket.
and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles
distant. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, have in-
vented invaluable preserving spectacle lenses. Immediately
they are placed before imperfect vision, every object
appears clear and distinct; the most aged, defective sight
becomes bright and brilliant, is brought to its youthful,
natural, and original state. Deafness—New Discovery—
The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary powerful and
newly-invented instrument, for Deafness, entirely different
from all others, to surpass anything of kind that has
been, o. probably ever can be, produced. Poing of the
same ,olour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enab es
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords aq the assist.
ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B 1 Soloinons,
