exists—from the great number of projects now before Par-
liament—as to what course should be pursued as regards
them. That difficulty is very easily conquered. Let Par-

enactment to each that no call should be made on the share-
holders for two years, at least. Money will be scarce fbr
some time to come. Railways must be made. Pass the
Bills, suspend the carrying them into operation before
money is again plentifid, and all will be well.—Railway

CORONER'S INQUEST.
SUSPECTED DEATH BY VIOLENCE.
(From the Plymouth Journal.)
On Wednesday, J. Edmonds, Esq., the coroner of this
borough, and a respectable jury, assembled at the Guild-
hall, for the purpose of instituting an inquiry into the
cause of the death of Rebecca Wyatt, the wife of a beer-
house keeper in Lower-lane. The death of the deceased
took place about three months ago, when she was in-
terred in the burial ground in Westwell-street ; and it
was in consequence of a representation made by the
mother and friends of the deceased to the coroner, that
that gentleman, with a promptness in the execution of
his duty which has always characterised his proceedings,
and for which he on this occasion justly received the
approbation and thanks of the jury, immediately caused
the necessary steps to be taken for the investigation.
The body of the deceased was exhumed, and the jury
having chosen Mr. Thomas Holman as their foreman,
proceeded to view it.
The first witness examined was named Elizabeth
Rowe. She deposed that she had known the deceased
about three or four years. She remembered Sunday be-
fore Christmas day, she then lived in Wyatt's house.
About nine o'clock in the morning she heard angry
words between the deceased and her husband, which
last( d for some time, when she saw him strike her with
his fist. She had not then attempted to strike him. She
then saw the deceased heave the ash kettle at him, and
he hove it again at her. This difference continued for
some time, and Wyatt was getting the better of the de•
ceased, when she ran to the wash-house and took up a
piece of wood which was used for stirring the clothes in
the furnace when boiling. Witness did not see any
more then ; but in about a minute the deceased came
out of the wash-house, where she and her husband were.
The piece of wood was then in Wyatt's hand, and the de-
ceased was bleeding from the mouth, and three of her
teeth mere knocked out, and her eye was also very much
bruised. Witness then went to Wyatt, who was gone
into the bar, and said to him, "Mr. Wyatt, I think you
have broken your wife's
.jaw." He said, "If I have I
will send for Dr. Giles.' He did not deny having
struck her, but said she bad attempted to strike him
first. She did -not see deceased again until the follow.
ing Monday, when she found her in bed in a most
awful condition, her left eye was still swollen, and she
could scarcely open her mouth. Witness saw her down
stairs on Tuesday morning, the 23d, but she again took
to her bed on Saturday, where she remained until her
death, which took place on the Ist of January. On the
Sunday after Christmas-day, the husband of the de-
ceased said she had been struek by a soldier whilst
putting him out of doors, and that the blow was about
the pit of the stomach. The stick now produced by
Mr. Harris, the constable, is the same she had seen in
William Wyatt's band, and previously in the hands of
the deceased.
Other witnesses corroborated the above evidence, and
also gave an account of a quarrel which had taken place
on the Saturday after Christmas-day, about eight o'clock
in the evening, between some soldiers and the deceased,
one of whom struck her on the stomach, which caused
her to fall in a fainting state on the stairs.
An old woman named Maria Bowden, living in the
workhouse, who was frequently in the habit of visiting
the deceased, deposed to some conversation which she
had had with the deceased on New Year's eve, is which
the latter, who was then in bed, and apparently near her
death, said to her that Wyatt had often told her he
would give her a blow that would send her to her grave;
and now he had done it. The deceased never corn-
piained of having been struck by a soldier.
Charles Giles, surgeon, examined, said, I have been
the family surgeon to the deceased seven years ; I was
called to attend her on Sunday, the 28th of December,
about one o'clock. I found her in bed. She had then a
black eye and a great swelling about the mouth. I
found her very ill, complaining of pain in her head and
stomach. She complained of blows received from her
husbatkfl, and of having been struck by a soldier. She
died the lin of January. I gave the usual certificate of
her death, which was to the effect that she died of effu-
sion on the chest and head. Effusion would arise from
many causes, one of which is violence. Ido not think
the blows of the stick on the mouth would have pro-
duced effusion after a lapse of so long a time.
The foreman here asked the witness whether he did
not think it his duty, as a professional man, in a case of so
seridus a nature as this, to make known the circum-
stances of the case in order that an inquiry might be in-
st!tuted as to the cause of death ?
Giles—l left it with the family of the deceased,
whose duty I considered it was, if they were not satisfied,
to cause an inquiry to be made.
A juror—Did you suggest anything of the kind?
Mr. Giles—No.
The Foreman—l do confess, Mr. Coroner and gentle-
men, that I think it an exhibition of great remissness on
the part of the medical man, knowing the circumstances
under which the deceased came by her death, not to
make it known to other parties.
The CORONER—I think it is deserving of censure.
Mr. Giles repeated that he considered, it inquiry was
necessary, the relatives of the deceased party were the
persons who ought to move in the matter.
A juror—l believe that the medical man, who must
be silpposed t 3 know more of the human frame than any
body else, is the best judge of the necessity of inquiry
into the cause of death ; and he is guilty of great im-
propriety if he neglects what I conceive to be his duty.
Another juror—l think, Mr. Coroner, this conversa-
tion hardly belongs to the present stage of this inquiry
—hardly in place at this moment. I should like to ask
one question of the witness, and that is, whether in his
opinion there were any symptoms which be observed
about the deceased which would lead him to suppose
that the deceased died from purely natural causes.
Mr. Giles—There were some symptoms certainly.
A juror—Did it never enter into your mind that it
would be desirable that the matter should be investi
gated ? Mr. Giles—l cannot say it did.
Some further questions were then asked of the witness.
which resulted in the addition of the following to his
evidence :—lt never occurred to me that any inquiry
was necessary to be instituted as to the cause of the
death of the deceased ; if it had 1 certainly should have
done so.
The Court was then cleared, and some of the jury
having expressed their dissatisfaction at the evidence of
Mr. Giles, the coroner sent for Mr. Freeman, who was
ordered to make a post mortem examination of the body,
and the inquest was adjourned to receive his evidence.

THE HULL SAILORS' STRIKE.—RIOTOUS PROCEED
iNGB.—Weduesday afternoon a disturbance took place, in the
immediate vicinity of the Humber Dock, which originated
through the exising disputes, respecting wages, between the
seamen and the shipowners. It appears that the seamen,
who have been some weeks out of employment, owing to their
having struck for an advance of wages, which to a great ex-
tent, has been resisted by the masters, have regularly assem-
bled in large numbers in the neighbourhood of the docks,
a proceeding which created some alarm in the minds of the
authorities, and, accordingly, a strong body of the police
fierce have been stationed on duty to prevent any breach
of the peace. As the sailors connected with the
" strike" party did not manifest any apparent disposition to
create a disturbance, the number of policemen on duty in
the locality in question was reduced. This proceeding seems
to have been taken advantage of, and yesterday afternoon
the Ilee, of Glasgow, was leaving the dock when a simulta
nexus attack was made upon the crew, in consequence, as
we are informed, of their having entered into an engagement
with the owner or owners at a less salary than the turnouts
had demanded. Stones and other missiles were hurled
with fearful rapidity, and the police accordingly interfered,
when a regular affray occurred. An eye-witness informs us
that there were several hundreds either taking part In or wit-
nesses to the disturbance, and the police having captured one
man, whom they deemed as the most prominent character
in the riot, they proceeded with their charge to the sta-
tion-house in Blanket• row, amidst the most execrable
shouts and hootings. Inspector Allison took a very active
part in endeavouring to suppress the disorder that prevailed,
when a large stone was thrown, it is supposed with the in-
tent of inflicting injury upon him, but which caught a by-
stander, named James Wood, residing in Paradise-place, on
the head, and knocked him down. The poor fellow was
severely stunned by the blow, and it was some time before
he rallied from its effects. The police on duty having re-
ceiver' a considerable acquisition to their numbers, they were
enabled to quell the riotous proceedings, and secure several
of the principal actors in the affray, who were taken to the
station-house, and will undergo examination before the ma-
g,',:trates this day. Such conduct as that to which we have
here
.alluded is highly culpable, and is calculated to injure,
rather ,:han benefit, the object of the parties connected with
the strike.-- Hull Advertiser.
A lady ri,ling on Monday in an omnibus along the
Boulevard to Ole Rue de la Chaussee d'Antin, was seated
next a young man of gentlmanly appearance and dress,
who, after some rather warm compliments, pressed so close
to her, and at last took such liberties, that she was obliged
to reprove him rather severely. He pretended to take the
rebuke in all humility, modestly acknowledged his error,
and
then, desiring the conductor to stop the omnibus, alighted
and walked away. Some minutes afterwards, the lady
having occasion to refer to her pocket-book, found that it I
was gone, and with it a bank-note for 500 francs and a rail-
road share. She immediately proclaimed her loss, and got
out of the omnibus to pursue her late•fellow passenger, the
real object of whose familiarity was now but too evident. It
is needlesa to say that he was no longer at her call.—Gulig-
/soars Messenger.
A laug,hable incident occurred at Romsey Abbey
Church, on Sunday morning last. An out-eked
couple, a
navie" and one of the factory ladies, presentd themselves
to be united in the indissoluble bond of matrimony. The
ceremony performed, the officials naturally looked for their
fees—the clergyman received his, but the clerk and sexton
heard with rueful countenance that none were forthcoming
for them, the husband stating that the parson was quite
enough to marry him, " without them other two fellows."
As neither threats nor entreaties could prevain on him to
salter his determination, it was resolved to try the effect of a
little confinement, so the happy couple and their attendants
were locked into the vestry ; but here, however, consolation
tinder trials was not wanting, for being armed with their
pipes and a match, they comfortably enjoyed themselves fur
more than hour, till the arrival of people for morning ser-
vice compelled them to be dismissed, the fumes of the to-
bacco rather offending the olfactory nerves of some of the
snore sensitive part of the congregation.—Brighton Gazette.
HOSPITAL FOR CON'SIT3IPTIJN.—At a recent meeting
of the Committee of Management of the Hospital for Con-
sumption and Diseases of the Chest, held at the Hospital,
Chelsea, the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Durham, offered to
contribute 501., providing nine similar subscriptions could be
procured, for the especial purpose of aiding the fund for
furnishing. of the new hospital, recently erected at Brompton.

THE FLOOD.—SeveO,I hundred acres of land in the
neighbourhood of Gainsborouh, and on the Trent side, have
become inundated this week through the almost unpre-
cedented heavy rains. Great fears are entertained that the
wheat crops will suffer considerably. Several parts of Mor-
ton Carr, an area of about 4,000 acres, present the appear-
ance of a vast sea. The large and splendid engine recently
erected there, although running night and day, cannot keep
athe water off, owing principally to one or two proprietors and
occupiers of land not keeping their drains well cleaned'out,
so as to tet the water have free access to the engine. It is
'loped th,e Commissioners will see the necessity of some strin-
gent meast,yes being adopted to compel certain self-willed
characters residing on the Carr to get their dikes in proper
Atlyertiser.
