THE INQUEST.

On Wednesday J. Reddeli. Esq., one of the
coroners for the county, held an inquest on the de-
ceased at the Crown Inn, before a most respectable
jury of nineteen persons, when after having pro-
ceeded to take evidence, it was considered neces-
sary the body should undergo a post ?nortem exa-
mination. and the jury adjourned till the following
day (Thursday), in order to give time for the sur-
geons to open the body.

On the re-assembling of the jury and completing
of the evidence, the deceased's son stated that he
had cautioned the coachmrn against his furious driv-
ing, when he expressed great fear from the reeling
of the coach.

The guard stated that they were allowed the
rate of nine miles an hour for travelling, but sup-
poses, at the time the accident occurred, the coach
was going at the rate of 10 or 12 miles an hour.
Another witness stated that he never saw horse
go faster; they were at full speed. (This -.vas

The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter
against Thomas Ward, the coachman."
The deceased was buried the same evening,
shortly after the inquest rose.

The Gloucester surveyors of taxes have de-
cided that a person borrowing a friend's horse for a single
day, and placing it in his stable for the night, is liable to
be assessed at the regular rate.

EFFECTS Or THE LATE STORM.-It is
said 150 bodies have been washed up between Hornßea
and Spurn, and about 25 vesse!s are laid on that coast.
—Norwich Post.

An American writer gives the following simple
method as one which be knows to have been effectual in
restoring, preserving, and strengthening the sight :—" This
is to be done," says he, " while you wash, by dipping your
face three or four times successively in the water, opening
your eyes, and keeping them under water as long as you
cm hold your breath."

At the weekly meeting of the Academy of
Sciences of Paris, on 'Wednesday last, a letter was read
frog M. di Borgo, announcing that the Emperor of Russia
had directed four chests, containing specimens of all the
minerals of Russia (among which is a block of gold ore
weighing upwards of a pound,) to be forwarded to the
Academy. The section of Mineralogy, and M. Arago,
were charged to make a report on this valuable present,
and prepare a letter of thanks to the Emperor.
DENTAL SURGERY.—A new mode of ex-
tracting teeth has lately been discovered in the Highlands,
which, from the quickness of the operation, and the faci-
lity with which any body can perform it, bids fair to ruin
half of the present professors of the dental art. A coun-
tryman who had for some time suffered all the pangs of
that excruciating tormentor, the toothache, at length
screwed up his courage to a pitch sufficient to allow him
to think of submitting his head to the relentless hands of
the jaw-breaking doctor. Having declared his intention
to a neighbouring shoemaker, Crispin invited him to come
to his shop, where he would perform the operation much
quicker, much easier, and without any reward. The
patient assenting, was placed on the shoemaker's stool, a
strong " rozetie end" was twisted round the devoted tooth,
and then tied firmly to the patient's foot, so as to bring
the foot within half a yard of his mouth ; things being
so far in progress, Crispin moved to the rear, and taking
one of his sharpest awls, gave his patient a prog in the
seat of honour—a spring and a roar, and the operation
was over.—Perth Advertiser.

THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA AND THE
BusindEN.—You must recollect that, about 1820, when
the frigate which had conveyed the Emperor of Austria's
daughter to Brazil returned, it brought over a family Of
Brazilian savages, as a present from the Emperor Don
Pedro to the Emperor Francis. The latter received these
friendship.

them, in the midst of a small wood in the Palace garden,
where they were perfectly free (Austrian fashion), enclosed
within iron rails. The good Emperor passed whole hours
in their company, and marvelled greatly at their smallest
.ictions. It was said publicly in Vienna, that the Holy
Alliance had bad them brought over to serve as a model of
the degree of civilization to which Prince Metternich
wished to carry the civilization of Europe. I cannot
vouch fur the truth of this, not being in his confidence;
but it is certain that a family of Hungarian adventurers
took a fancy to play the Bushmen. They reddened their
bodies, pierced their lips and ears, and run sticks through
them, like their prototypes. The father, who retained his
colour and usual dress, made an exhibition of his eons and
daughters in a state of nudity, but painted red, for so
touch money. Spoken to in German they answered in
the Bushman tongue. A live cat was given to them, which
the lady strangled with admirable dexterity, and the family
devoured it pet fectly raw. To see them make this .epast
the charge was double. Ido not know how many meals
they had in a day; hut, after having collected upwards
100,000 &rine, Wiener warung (Vienna currency), they
decamped, in:orming the good people of Vienna of the
trick they had played thero.-21.furat's United States, 2d

During the latter part of the 17th century
there was a great scarcity of copper coin in England,
particularly in the north. To remedy this many respect..
able tradesmen in different towns coined brass tokens of
different nominal value, all below the intrinsic. Kendal
had several, different specimens of which are in the Museum
there. About three years ago there was found at Ap-
pleby, on removing an old building, a brass coin ratb'r
smaller than a shilling of the coinage of Geo. 111.. in-
scribed " Christopher Birkbeck, in Appleby, bis,,nnyiL
1668." About three weeks ago another very era bra'
coin was found, on repairing the bridge there, inscribed on
one side "Edward Guy, in Appleby,
1666 on the,
reverse side the initials G.E.M., and "I sere for change ;'
supposed to have been a farthing.
