THE ISLE or WIGHT .T,LECTIoN.—On Friday an
adjourned inquest was held on the body of Mr. Cole, Captain
hamond's agent, who lostbis life during the recent election
in the Isle, of-Wight. It appeared that as Mr. Cole was
coming out, of Spencer-street, in Hyde, on Monday afternoon,
two mobs, numbering from 400 to 500, met him. One of
the men knocked the deceased's hat off, and almost imme-
diately afterwards another man grasped him by the hair of
the head. He then ran away through the Terrace gates, but
previous to running away he uttered a deep groan, as if he
was hurt. He took shelter 'in a house, where the servant
found him 'lying flat on his face. A medical gentleman
proved being sent for to 'attend the deteased, and that on
arriving two minutes afterwards, he found him quite dead.
Upon opening him, he found an eratraVasation of blood on the
brain, which might have been caused by pulling deceased's
hair with such violence; and he thought his death would not
have taken place had it not b:een for the violence he received.
Two of the policemen said they had gone to Mr. Cole's as-
sistance, but when they went they found the mob returning,
A police inspettor said that, in consequence: of information
he had received, he had apprehended two men named
Thomas Gregbry and Henry Gregory. He had since appre-
hended a man named Pressley on--the same charge. The
coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of
" Manslaughter against divers persons unknown." •
FIRE AND Loss or LlFE,—Shortly before ten
o'clock onl Saturday night the inhabitants, of Bridle-lane,
Golden-square were greatly alarmed at hearing violent
screams proceeding from the premises of Mr. G. Caplin, a
master carman, carrying on busivess at No. 4, in the before
named thoroughfare. Several persons immediately 'rushed
into the building, when on entering one of the rooms over
the stablei, they beheld the room in a blaze, and in the
midst of the flames was lying the unfortunate• wife of the
proprietor of the property. The fire at first raged with, such
fury that' no 'one could enter to render any assistance to the
poor creature. Several buckets of water having been pro-
cured, the fire was eventually extinguished, when it was
found that nearly all the furniture in the room was seriously
injured, Mrs. Caplet's fingers were burnt off, the flesh on her
left side was also burnt off, and het head frightfully charred.
A medical man was immediately sent for, who pronounced
life to he quite extinct. The husband of the poor woman
had left the room only three' minutes before the fire occurred;
at that time she was striking a light with a lucifer match to
light a candle. It is believed that in so doing she must
have ignited her dress, The deceased was a very sober
worhan; and only thirty-three years of age.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN ItOTTETI-Row.—On Satur-
day afternoon, during the crowded promenade, M. Schweitzer,
a swiss gentleman, was thrown with great violence from his
horse, and sustained, ip addition to other injuries, a very se-
vere and complicated compound fracture of the arm. Two
medical gentlemen, Mr. Garrett and Mr. M'Whinnie, were
fortunately present, and promptly rendered every assistance,
and it is hoped that the limb may be saved. • Prince Albert,
who Witnessed the accident,' sent Colonel Seymour, in the
evening 'and yesterday, to make inquiries after the unfortu-
nate gentleman at 'jr., Schweitzer's residence in Jermyn-
street.
