DREADFUL CASE OF DlSTRESS.—Thursday ani n-
quest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Duke of York,
Salmon's-lane, Ratcliffe, on the body of Michael Hutchins,
aged forty-eight years. The deceased resided in a
miserable tenement, at No. 3, Fox's-court, Narrow-
street. The house was in a most ruinous condition,
every pane of glass being broken. The cellars and
parlours were evidently used for dust-heaps, and the
water was pouring in in all directions. The room pre-
sented a most destitute appearance, and the family,
which consisted of six children, the deceased, and his
wife, bad scarcely any clothes to cover them. Mary
Hutchins stat'd that she was the wife of the deceased.
He had been out of employment for a very considerable
period, and he only occasionally worked in the docks.
He had been suffering from a cough, and he would never
have any medical assistance. They had been in a most
dreadful state of destitution, and the deceased would
never apply for relief. Witness paid is. 6d. a week rent,
and the only means of supporting her large family was
by going out to wash. The deceased expired on Monday
last. The Coroner said he should communicate to the
district surveyor, respecting the dilapidation of the
houses in Fox'f:.-court, for he was of opinion that those
houses ought to be razed to the ground. He then gave
the poor woman ss. A verdict ;of " Natural. Death "
was returned.,

A POLITICAL JURTMAN.—We read in the Espe-
rance de IVancy :—" One of the jury at the assizes for the
Meurthe, which have just closed, was dining in the early
part of the session at a table d'hote. The affair of
Cracow having been much talked of at the dinner, the
juryman, when it was over, said to one of the company
---` A great deal has been said of the affair of Cracow ;
would you have the kindness, sir, to tell me if this affair
is one of those which is to be tried during the present
assizes ?' "

Scene 1. ABODE OF KALYBA, THE ENCHANTRFSS.—DRIE and lo-
cality not exactly known, but considered by the Antiquarian Society
to have teen discovered " somehow or other," " some time or other,"
near " somewhere or other " Kalyba (tile Enchantress, not by Balfe,
mistress of all the elements, except those of "Arithmetic," having
quite miscalculated her power), Mr. 11. Horncastle ; Fiends and Fu-
ries (illustrating a common expression of speech, with anything but
a common expression of countenance), Messrs. J. IV, Morgan, Burt,
Connell, and H. Payne ; Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, (the four Ele-
ments, with a strong love of mischief), by Dealers in each ; the
March of Intellect (travelling " incog." as'" Young England," a true
bit of British blood, by Intellect out of Industry, dam by Science,
out of l'erseverance, has never been beaten, and can be matched
against anything), Miss Annie Payne.—How the March of Intellect
pays a " flying visit" to Kalyba ; and how, being empowered by the
Committee on National Education, he gives the old lady sudden no-
tice to quit, by as suddenly changing the premises to
Scene 2. INTERIOR OF INFANT SCHOOL—Schoolmaster, Mr. Big-
wig, who, at the request of his " Illustrious Visitor," gives the boys

brated for a battle he fought with a dragon, but at present without
any knowledge of" arms," except his nurse's), Miss Marks; Masters
Andrew, David. Patrick, Denis, James, Anthony (very youthful
nights, but destined, with their " cousin George," to astonish the
atives by and by as " The Seven Champions of Christendom"), Mas-
ers Coyle, Savell, Dix, Welsh, Desborg, Francis.—How the youthful
t. George is feted on his birth-day—how he makes his" first," and
Nearly his " last " appearance ix public on the occasion—how his
"Cousins " Andrew, David, Patrick, Denis, James, and Anthony
come to a ish him many happy returns of the day—and how Kalyba
shows her " love of children" by taking the " whale brood under
her wing."
NOTICE.—" Nothinge material to our historic" occurring dnring
a period of fifteen years, the author trusts that the audience will al-
low him to cut it, and come again to

Marks, Mr. Chaplin), Mr. Sanger, Mr. J. Haynes.—How St. George
and his broiler champions (considerably grown since their last ap-
pearance in public) are kept in durance vile, and on " very short
commons" by Kalyba—how Kalyba pops her affections on St. George
who " can't abide her"--in short, how—but we won't anticipate—
merely observing, that the upshot is the Downfall of Kalyba, and
the Emancipation of the Seven Champions of Christendom !
Scene 5. DOVER ROADS.—BOW the Seven Champioas of Christen-
dom set out for their respective destinations--" the management

Ibrahim Pacha, better known as Abraham Parker), Mr. Priorson.
Moorish Sailors, Attendants on King Ptolemy, &c. How Almanzor
came to Egypt to be married—the Princess having a decided objec-
tion to their being " bound in Morocco ;" and how St. George, not
having even " dipped" in'o the question of " lights," runs his
steamer on shore, and saves himself on the funnel.
Scene 7. GRAND HALL IN THE PALACE OF PTOLEMY THE FIRST,
Knee of EGYPT.—The Princess Sabra, Mr. Hance, about to be mar-
ried to the King of Morocco, but patriotically devoting herself to the
digestive organs of the Dragon (a gentleman, whose prodigious
allowance of jaw enables him to speak for himself), Mr. Wieland.
How this " marriage in high life" is suddenly interrupted by the
Dragon, who, not only fort Ads the banns ; but elopes with the bride ;
thereby plunging " her illustrious parents and several families of dis-
tinction at the west-end of the town into the deepest affliction," &c
(vide Morning Papers)

eat. The Battle (for particulars of which keep your eyes fixed on
