EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF DISTRESS.—OiI
Tuesday morning last; the wife of John Cannon, a labouring
man, residing at No. 15, Warwick-place, Upper Whitecross-
street, St. Luke's, was delivered of three children, under cir-
cumstances of melancholy and deep, distre'ss. tier husband
has been for a considerable time unable to work, being se-
verely afflicted with rheumatism, and so destitute was the poor
Woman of the comforts so essential to her situation, that whets
the parochial midwife arrived, to render her the necessary as-
sistauce, she found the room without fire, and almost without
furniture, and was obliged to divest herself of part of her own
apparel to wrap up the three inftints who were successively
introduced into the world. The children are all boys, and all
living, and we arc happy to add that the extraordinary cir-
cumstances of distress in which this unfortunate family are in-
volred, have eeeited a powerful sensation in the neighbour-
hood, and that a number of ladies have kindly undertaken to
alleviate the sufferings of the poor woman, not only by raising-,
subscriptions on her bchalf,bot also by personahy administerin,g-
to her wants. The distreised couple have twoinher children ;
and the .exact truth of the above statement mar he ascertained
on application to Mr. Carr, of the Prince of 'Wales, Banner-
streq, St. -Luke's, or to other gentlemen in the vicinity, who
have humanely interested the: in this case of real
distress.
We -have to register in the fatal catalogue of the
losses at sea in the recent desperate t-ele, another appalling
catastrophe, at Bishop's Island, near Kilkee, where the in-
trinsic, merchant vessel, Quirk, master, late Chambers, of and
from Liverpool to New Orleans, was driven in totally un-
manageable, by the tempest, on Saturday morning, end dashed
to pieces in the tremendous surf which breaks upon the mighty
cliffs along that iron-bound coast. The roaster and crew,
persons, arc reported to have perished within view and hearing-
of the few natives who collected on the rugged Lights of that
wild region, but without the least possibility of afferding suc-
cour or relief. The Intrinsic was laden with a gene.rd cargo,
and appears to have sailed on the 14th of January from Liver-
p.pol. —Limerick Chronicle. •
CORONER'S INQuEsT.—Au inquest was held on
Friday last at, Stepney workhouse, on the body
,of a Captain
J. Mackenzie, who, it was alleged, had died from taking large
doses of Morison's pills. Several withessos were examined,
who admitted it as their opir.ion that the deceased had died
owing to his having taken to large a quantity of drastic
medicine at a time when his stomach was inflamed: Dr.
• Cobb, who was examined, said the pills produced were of a
very innocent nature, and if judiciously administered, could do
no harm. The inquest was adjourned until Tuesday.
It transpired early in the day that the house of Wil-
liam Ward and Co, had stopped payment, and it has caused
more general regret than any. event of the kind within our re •
collection. The bead of the house, or rather. as we believe,
the sole representative of it, has sat in Parliament for the city
of London, and contested it at the heit eiectien, but did not
succeed. He at present held; a scat in the 13aeh Direction,
and has long been one of the meet active awl intelligent ment-
hers dfit. The circumstances with which his failure has been
attended are highly honourable to hint. Ills difficulties are
said to have been wholly of a private nature, such as he could
not possibly have any control over. and the step is vtuderetood

of
have been yoluntarily taken on his part in order to protect
those who have bad transactions with him, as a merchant,- as
the

barrassments. It is well noirn that Mr. Ward ashort

it was of course declined. Altogether, a man more respected
or symi atitized with, on account of this misfortune, has never
pursued the honourable. and useful calling- of a British mer-
chant. The failure, commercially speaking, is believed to be
of small amount, but nothing certain is yet known in that re-
speet.—/itorw'ny Paper.
