MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE ♦T A GENTLEMAN'S RE-
SIDENCE.—On Monday Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest
at the London University College Hospital, on view of the
body of Sarah Whitehead, aged 60. Robert Lovell Evans,
Esq., 7, Mornington-crescent, stated that the deceased had
been in his employ as housekeeper, and, notwithstanding
her age, she enjoyed excellent health. On the morning of
the 27th ult., about nine o'clock, witness was sitting in the
front parlour with a gentleman on a visit at his establish-
ment, when they were suddenly alarmed by the screams of
deceased, who having got near the kitchen fire, a lighted
cinder fell from the grate and ignited her dress. Before wit-
ness or any other person could get to her assistance, she was
so frightfully burned as to render her removal to the hospital
necessary. The house surgeon said that death was the re-
sult of the injuries; she expired on the 3d inst., and. the
body presented a most appalling spectacle. Other evidence
having been adduced, the jury returned a verdict of "Acci-
dental Death."

Monday night Mr. J. Payne, the Deputy Coroner, held
an inquest at the Stump and Magpie, Feter-lane, touching
the death of John Stafford, aged 44, coachman, in the em-
ploy of Mr. Chancellor. the large omnibus proprietor. John
Hubbard, 3, Wells-street, Falconer-square, said that about
nine o'clock on Saturday night, he was passing along Hol-
born, and saw a Chelsea omnibus, numbered 2,298, travelling
down the hill towards Newgate-street, and when about mid-
way the deceased fell from the box into the road, with his
feet toward.; the horses' heads. He was driving at the time,
and there were several other pers .ns on the outside of th•
vehicle. He was removed to Mr. Gibs•n's, the surgeon,
where life was pron•unced to be extinct. The deceased had
complained of the hot weather, which induced a supposition
that he had been attacked by some pain in the head, which
resulted in an apoplectic fit, and thus the accident. Verdict—
" Natural death."

RELEASE OF BONDED CORN.—The deliveries of the
various descriptions of corn lying in bond at the warehouses
and granaries on the banks of the river and other parts of the
port of London, were of a very extensive nature on the first
day of the new Corn Act coming into operation. As the
average price in the market on that day was at the maximum
number of shillings, it necessarily admitted the article at the
lowest rate of duty named in the scale, viz., that of 45., and
consequently great anxiety was expressed to obtain delive-
ries of the corn in bond and required to be delivered on that
day. Several hundreds of duty entries were passed for the
article, and in order to expedite matters, and afford every
possible facility to the parties interested, the clerks, &c., in
the particular department In question were detained until a
late hour issuing delivery orders for the release of the corn
on which duty had been paid during the day. On the next•
day, the price having fallen, the duty rose to 55., and
although the pressure had i❑ a great measure been disposed
of on the first day, the deliveries which took place were of an
extensive character.

THE TEXPLE.—On Monday the 6th inst., deputations
composed of some of the members of the bench of Lincoln's
Inn, the Middle Temple, and Gray's Inn, and several Learned
Lords &c., who are interested, and have been active in for-
warding, considering, and discussing the subject of an im-
proved system of legal education in students qualifying
themselves for the bar, assembled in the Parliament chamber of
the Inner Temple to partake of a grand banquet given to the
deputations, and other heads of the above-mentioned inns of

to the number of vagrants received into union workhouses
