VAUXHALL GARDENS.—Lost evening a Very
splendid coronation fete was given at these gatOens, the attraction cote.
bining the ascent, for the second time this season, of the Royal Nassau
balloon, the new dramatic piece in the Rotunda from the pen of Haynes
Bayley, entitled A Full House, and pyrotechnic dih'laY of unusual
grandeur and brilliancy. The weather being rather unpropitious, the
first was not effected in a very imposing style. The aen.al machine,
freighted with its scientific conductior, Mr. Green, and four sientlemens
on being at a given signal released from its restraint, rose majOtically
above the trees, and floated fbr a short time in sight of the metroOnlia,
when it finally disappear.d. The Duke of Nassau and several of the
foreign ambassadors were present, and the ascent of the balloon seemed
to excite considerable interest to the former, as his Royal Highness re-
collected that the vast machine descended in his territories on the occx-
'ion of its grand continental voyage. The fire-works, in addition to e
number of.novel and ingenious changes, presented an emblematical ta-
bleau appivriate to the occasion, the brilliancy, and beauty of which
. elicited loud and general applause.
THE DANISII CLAIMS.-Yesterday a meeting of
the merchants and others having claims upon the Government for con.
fiscation of British prop :rty by the Danish Government, was held at tts •
London Tavern, fir the purpose of considering the necessary measures
to enforce upon the Mini-try, the payment of interest upon tie sure •
al:owed as compensation. Mr. J. Shillito in the Chair. After a
lensrhe.ted conversation upoq the subject of the claims, it was the gene;
ral opinion of the sneering thSt to press for interest until all the claims
now in course of adjud cation acre liquidated, would be premature, and
the meeting accordingly adjourned.

An inquest Was held on Wednesday, at the Church
House, at Eiciduli,h, to investigate the circumstances connected with
the death of Prudence Sutton, wife of Josiah Sutton, of Biddulph, who,

it was' reported, had died on Monday afternoon, from injuries received
from her husband a few days before. The evidence given was as fol-
lows :—Josiah Sutton, the husband, who himself keeps a beer shop,
had been drinking at another beer shop, in the neighbourhood, on
Wednesday week,. and on returning home conducted himself in 50
violent a manner towards his wife that she ran fur refuge to a
nei,;hbotir's house. Sutton followed her, using threatening language;
and was particularly exasperated by being kept out of the house
into which his wife had run, by Ole occupier of it holding the door shut
against him. Alter some time, and on his promising not to ill-treat
her, the woman ventured to go hkme with him ; but on the way he struck
her repeatedly in the most violent manlier, and particularly about tho
head and neck, so thst she became dangerously ill, and she died en
Monday last. On a post mortem examination it was found that the
head ha.i receivrd such injury by a blow, or fall, as sufficiently ac-
counted for the woman's death. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wil-
ful murder" against the husband, who was committed to the assizes for
t ia'.

Ile a nious and important operation of transfusion
of blood was recently performed with perfect success by Mr. John
Wilson and Mr. Richard Rip:ey, of Whitby, on the persoq, of Mrs.
Ilartley, who was rapidly sinking under violent hemorrhage. The r
pulse was gone, and not even by the application of a mirror to the
mouth of the patient could it be perceived that she breathed; but, by
the injection into her veins of a large quantity of blood taken from
those of her sister and husband, the patient was gradually withdrawn
from the very jaws of death, and is now approaching convalescence.;-.-

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—Yesterday the pro-
ceedings under the Commission against Captain Wynne, of Hammer-
smith, were resumed before Commissioners Phillimore, Winslow, and
Blunt, at the Gray's Nu Coffee-house, Holborn. Mr. Richards i'...
tended, as on the former occasion, in 'lmport of the Commission, and

similar to that which has been already published, and the Jury express-
ing thcrnsclves sati,fied with it, in which Mr. Lownds concurred, a ver-
dict ef insanity is as returned.
