SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. GEORGE FRANCIS,
LATE TREASURER AT ASTLEY'S.

CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODY.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. William Carter, the coroner
for East Surrey, held a lengthened inquiry, at the Mar-
quis of Wellington Tavern, South-street, Hercules-build-
ings, Lambeth, respecting the circumstances attending
the death of Mr. George Francis, aged 49 years, late
treasurer at Astley's Royal Amphitheatre and Vauxhall

Gardens.
Mrs. Hannah Maria Knight, of 8, Canterbury-place,
Lambeth, said that the deceased resided in the next
house, with his wife and family. The preceding day
(Thursday), about four o'clock, she was called in to see
the deceased by his wife, when she found him in bed,
with his hands laid over his forehead. Messrs. Collam-
bell and Sewell, the surgeons, were called in, and they
pronounced life extinct. The deceased appeared to be
the over-night in a very healthy state, and she never
heard him complain of any affection. She had no rea-
son to think that deceased had done anything to cause
his own death. He was a very kind father and hus-
band, and lived on the most affectionate terms with his
wile.
Sarah Cronin, a single woman, said that she was a
servant to the deceased. On Wednesday last her master
came home at his usual hour to dinner, when he ap-
peared perfectly well. He left at six o'clock in the even-
ing, and she did not see him again until half past eight
o'clock the next morning. He went to Vauxhall Gar-
drns on Wednesday night, when he appeared quite well.
The ext morning he complained of a pain in the chest,
whenn his wife applied mustard poultices to his stomach
and feet.
Mr. Frederick Giles,. a biscuit baker, of the Black-
friars-road, said that he met the 'deceased at Vauxhall
Gardens on Wednesday night last, when he told him
that be was looking after Mr. Wardell, the manager,
and he seemed then rather dull. f, After that he appeared
very excited, arid he ran after a man who had struck a
female. He did not consider that deceased had, how-
ever, received any injury in the gardens.

Mr. Charles Collambell, surgeon, of Lambeth-terrace,
the cause of death was f
qsueeitethdeed:
dead.
His opinion was that
from some
vessel near the heart giving way, probably accelerated
by excitement.

The learned coroner having summed up, the jury re•
turned a verdict of " Died from natural causes."

NOTTINGHAM TRADE.- —Our trade, both
languid and
spiritless lace
.nd
and
hosiery, continues spell-bound by thesame
spiritless tone pictured in our last. In theform former
branches a want of employment is beginning to be ex-
perienced, or rather has been felt for the last fortnight,
amongst menders and others, deprived of their Bs. a
week, their sole dependence, which must lead to con-
siderable distress amongst the classes least able to bear
depression. In hosiery the Americans are operating to
some extent, but the home trade is flatter than has
almost ever been known in the experience of those en-
gaged in business. Half the round frames are said to
have been discontinued, which must considerably abridge
production. And yet cotton, yarns, and materials gene-
rally are on the decline. The system of silk condition-
ing in London, lately introduced in conformity with the
practice of most continental cities, is stated to be
