MAT,' ny LtwyrniNu.—Ou Saturday last an
inquest was held at the Hose and Crown public-house,
worth, Ott view of the hotly of Murtha Cooper. The deceased,
it appeared, lived as laundry-maid in the family of James
Morris, Usti., of Elm-park, and on the night of the 14th ult.,
during the violent storm of thunder and lightning, was corning
with another servant through the yard-alter work, with a large
basket of washed linen, when a tremendous clap of thunder,
accompanied by continued flashes of lightning, almost immedi.
ately over their heads, completely transfixed them, and Cooper
immediately sunk to the earth. surgical aid was procured, when
it was discovered that her head and face had been struck by the
electric fluid; over the right temple the hair was burned quite
to the roots. The patient seemed to recover strength for
three or four slays idler site complained frequently of violent
poins shooting through the head i the right eye closed almost
immediately after the surgeon's examination, and the other,
continuing to lose its perception, became at length totally blind.
On Monday the heat increased, and notwithstanding the
application of blisters, leeches, anti cupping, which were
severally resorted to, the poor girl expired on Friday last.
After a few minutes' consideration, the Jury returned a ver-
dict, " That the deceased came by her death in consequence of
an inflammation on the brain, produced by a stroke of electric
fire, during a thunder storm." Deceased was only nineteen
y atm old.. . _

A poor. woman, idow of an Irish Soldier,
recently returning from India, with three children, conducted
heraelf with so much propriety, that the passengers raised a
subscription of forty sovereigns for her. With this store of
wealth, which in her circumstances wax incalculable, she ar-
rived in Bristol, on her way to Ireland, and took lodgings in
Fog's-court, l'ithay ; here the ardency of her feelings prompt-
ed her to confess her good fortune to the good woman of the
house, and she sailed the following day in the packet for Cork :
having- occasion, however, on her voyage to search her little
handle for some article' for the children, she discovered that she
hail been. robbed, and immediately became almost frantic with
grief, calling upon the Captain to atop the thip, &c. She re-
tJ road, however, the day- after reselling- Cork, and having
tained the assistance Of a:: able,andfictiverpolica.officer of Brix-
