CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was taken before Mr.
enetTen, at the Duke of Clarence, Vauxhall-street, Lam-
beth, on view of the body of James Prangley, aged six
years, son of a man employed in \Vright's brewery, Ken-
nington, who te:! into a vat of bodiug wort. Verdict—
" Accidental death."
Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Somerset
Arms, Little Chelsea, before Mr. STIRLING, on view of
the body of Mr. Benjamin Goff, aged 56, who died under
awfully sudden circumstances. The deceased was a cow-
.keeper, and the father of a large family. Up to the time
of his sudden dissolution, which took place on the evening
of Christmas Day, he was in the enjoyment of good health.
At the time in question he was assembled with his family
and some friends at his house in Little Chelsea, and was
participating in the conviviality that was going forward
usual at the present season, when he suddenly fell back,
in his chair. exclaiming, "I am dying! Oh, my family !"
and immediately expired. Mr. Laukshirc, a surgeon, re-
siding in the neighbourhood, promptly attended, and en-
deavoured to restore animation by bleeding and other re-
medies, but without success, as life had fled for ever. The
deceased was a man of very temperate habits, and had
never been subject to fits, nor had he experienced any ex-
citement on Christmas day. Verdict—" Died by the visi-
tation of God."
Yesterday an inquest was held in the Board-room of the
Middlesex Hospital, on the body of a man unknown, appa-
rently about fifty years of age, and of very emaciated ap-
pearance, as well us deplorable exterior, who was discovered
by the police en Sun.lay night last, between 11 and 12
o'clock, on the stone steps of a house in Newmae-street,
Oxford-street, in a perishing condition. On Christmas
night, at the hour above minted, a policeman of the C divi-
sion was passing through Newman-street, when be observed
the deceased lying on the steps of a house. It was a very
bitter night, the wind blowing strong from the north-cast,
and snowing heavily at the time. The policeman endea-
voured to rouse him, but he was quite insensible, the
wretcl-ed man evidently being in a dying condition front
destitution and exposure to the inclemency of the weatiher.
The policeman obtained assistance from some of his brother
constables, and the stretcher having been brought from the
station-house, the: deceased was Flaced on it, and conveyed
to the above hospital, where the medical officers of the in-
stitution promptly at tended to the poor sufferer, administer-
ing brandy and other restorat:ves, but the powers of life
were too fir gone to be rallied, and the unfortunate outcast
was relieved from his earthly misfortunes by death shortly
after he was brought to the hospital.
The house surgeon of the hospital eels of opinion that
the deceased's death was caused by apoplexy, accelerated
exhaustion and exposure to cold.—Vetilict accordingly.

It has been stated in some of the accounts of the
juvenile appearances on the stage of Mr. Charles
li.emblc that several years prior to 1794 (when he was
19) !It, had performed the parts of children in a few plays, in
whigh hint sister, Mrs. Siddons, sustained the character of
the heroine.. The fact is otherwise. He never was one of
the young Princes in Richard the Third, the child in La-
belly, nor any other such character. He played only for
one year in the country before he came to the metropolis,
and MOO his earliest essay on any stage at Sheffield, in
1793, previously to his going to Edinburgh, to join his
brother, Stephen kilcmble. The part he filled at Sheffield
was that of Orlando, in As you lilac it. His first part in
London was, as already stated, Malcolm, in ]Macbeth, in
1794. He received the principal part of his education at
Donny.
EXTRAORDINARY INS•ZANCE OF PRESENT!..
MENT.—An inquest was taken hefo:_e Mr. Payne, at the
Mason's Arms, Mason's-alley, Basinghall.,trect, on view of
the body of Mrs. Margaret Haley, aged sixty, who resided
at No. 1, Mason's-alley. It appeared from the evQ.ence
the deceased's husband that he and Isis wife were invitb,d on
Christmas-day to meet some relatives ;he went ; but
the
deceased, being ill, stopped at home. While he was sitting
with his friends; suddenly a thought came across his nisM
that accident had happened to his wife ; and so strong
was the presentiment, that all the entreaties of his friends
could not prevent his departure. Having arrived at his re-
sidence, his attention was first directed to the roam whbre
he left the deceased, and which appeared to be on fire ; he
rushed up stairs, and before he entered the room he heard
his birds fluttering in their cages, and makiag a noise as if
in much alarm. He burst open the door, and found the
room full of smoke. The deceased was lying on the car,
pet, her clothes being almost entirely consumed, and a
candle, still lighted, was by her side. She was most fright.
fully injured all over her person by the fire. A medical
gentleman attended, who pronounced her recovery impos-
sible, and she died early the following morning. Several
witnesses were examined, who deposed that no one was in
the room with the (I,Teased, and that. the distressing oc-
currence was entirely accidental Verdict—" Accidental
Death."

HAMBURGH, DEC. 12.
ON approach of the COMMENCEMENT of
JANUARY, all those who may have to write to us before that
time, are reque4ted to do so without delay, and to be particular in
directing,
TAEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH,
and to otserve, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, b,at several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
101. 201., or M., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
lakid Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much highr charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person havinc, to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
:Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not
to overlook these particulars. - _

HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGH.
P. S. To persons having to remit 81., on receiving a Ten Pound
Note, we return Two Pound in the cheapest way possible.
