YORK, JAN. 4, 1841.

This evening the first supply of coals front th
North, arrived by the Northern Railway, consisting
of one hundred and five waggons, each containing'
fifty-three hundred weight. The whole was drawn
by four engines. Some of the waggons contained
immease masses of coal marked with the names of the pits
from valence they had been raised. The supply, of course,
is five hundred and forty-three tons, and as each waggon is
eight feet in length, the train was not far short of one mile.
In the winter of 1839, coals quadrupled in price here. The
selling price of these new coals is 15s. 6d. per ton. We
have also West of E,;gland coals from 7s. to 16s. per ton
The day being very inauspicious, the demonstrations of
welcome were not so apparent as they otherwise would
have been if the weather had proved more moderwe.
The York and North Midland Railway's new and most
elegant depot for passengers was opened upon the 4th Jan.
also. Every thing in the shape of comfort and convenience
has been unsparingly supplied, and the tout ensemble is
elegance itself

DEATH FROM WANT AND EXPOSURE TO
Com—Tuesday evening an inquest was held by Mr.
V
Payne, at the St. Sepulchre's workhouse, N. est- strect,
Smithfield, on the body of Thomas Arthur Sadler, formerly
a ciirnpositor. From the evidence of many wilnes,es it
appeared that, between one
and two o'clock on Tirursday
morning, deceased was found 1$ ing on the wetFrive'""t
near the workhouse, in We street. lie ,as ‘'‘'ithoi-t

that his companions were consii.iring against
him; thi-1

At other times he would walk as far as Whirechapel

Church merely to know the time of day. He frequently
strolled penniless about the country, not knowing whither
he was going. In drink he was temperate, but lied an in-
ordinate appetite, equal to that of four or five ordinary
men. For the last five years he had subsisted (in the
charity of his former fellow-workmen, but on account of
his voracity what they
allowed him appeared not to be
sefficient for his support. Verdict—" Died from want and
exposure to extreme cold""
