SUPPOSED • I i_VIANTICI DE.

Yesterday Mr. Wakley held two inquiries at
Camden-town, the first at the Devonshire Arms,
Hartland-terrace ; and the second at the Elephant
and Castle, King's-road, into the circumstances
attending the deaths of two newly-born female
children.

In the cwe held at the Ele. Irint and Castle, it
appeared that the deceased's remains were dis-
covered in a perfectly naked condi, ion on a dust-
hr.ap, at the back of 27, Bill-place, Som-rs-t twit.
The body was that of a very fine child,. weighing
nearly nine pounds, and being of the full growth.
Tl e medical testimony of Mr. W. T. Coster,
senior surgeon at the Sr. Pancras Workhouse,
clearly proved that the poor littleci eature had lived,
and breathed freely. The right jtw was broken,
and the appearance of the internal organs .showed
strong evidence of the child having been killed by
suffocation.

The coroner briefly summed up, comnien Ling upon
the painful charawer of such cases, and the jury
recorded a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some
person or persons unknown."
In th • investigation held atthe Devonshire Arms, a
the deceased's remains were found enveloped in
piece of brown paper, in the front garden of 2,
Clarence-road, Kentish Town, and the body was
a 1,43 that of a well-developed healthy-loAing child.
Mr. Coster, in his evidence, said that the post
mortem examination resulted in his coming to the
conclusion than the child bad breathed ; but he
cruld not positively state whether it had had sepa-
rate existence from the mother, or what was the
precise cause of death.
r:fice-constable Woodbridge, 306 S, who found
the body, produced the brown paper in which the
body had been wrapped, as also a slip of paper with
c rtain initials thereon, which led the coroner to
remark that this might"be the means of identifying
the guilty party or parties concerned a: a future
peri.id.

Upon the suggestion of the coroner the jury re-
tuned' an open verdict, thereby leaving the matter
open for further investigation.
The inquiry had hardly closed, when, through
the initials on the slip of paper alluded to, the de-
ceased's mother, a )oung woman residing in the
neighbourhood, was traced, and the coroner at
once ordered her arrest.

- tiOY AND HORSE DROV7NED IN THU REGENT'S CANAL.
—Yesterday, a long inquiry took place at the Elephant
and Castle, King's-re,ad, Camden Town, More Mr.
Wakley, coroner for West Middlesex, on view of the
body of John F.sher, eged 13, who was drowned in the
Regent's Canal, under circumstances of a very singular
and me'anchnly nature. It r.opearA from the evidence
that the father of the deceased was a boatman employed
by th,e Rage t',l Canal Company, and the deceased was
in the habit, under the-directions of his father, of taking
the hor,ea to water. About ono o'clock on the morning
of the 27th ultimo, the deceased left Cooper's %Wart,
Great Colbge-street, Cam:len Town, to take a horse to
the stables, which are close to the banks of the canal.
The boy did not return. The horse was discovered the

DESTRUCTIVE GALE ON THE NORTH-

BAST coAsr.

The whole range of the east and northeast coast
was visited early on Monday morning by one of the
heaviest gales troth the north-west that has been
experienced for some time. It commenced shortly
after' reidrught, and gr dually increased in violence
until three o'clock, when it blew with the force of
almost a hurricane, accompanied by heavy falls of
snow and hail. A sad list of casualties has been
reported at Lloyd's.
In the vicinity of Cromer, off the coast and
inland, the gale appears to have been most destruc-
tive in its -consequences. Iu the little port of Wells
the roofs and chimneys of several of the warehouses
and other buildings were blown off. During the
height of the storm the schooner Jane, belonging
to Ipswich, was driven ashore a' Mundt sley, a few
miles to the northward of Haisbro'l and unhappily
to relate, every soul belonging to ber perished.
The ship speedily went to p eces. A large fleet of
disibled vessels, Eame with masts and spars or bul-
warks carried away, or with loss of ancho s and
c'iains,,rati or were assisted into Harwich, Lowe-
stoft, and Yarmouth. There five ve,s ds were lost
in collisions. Some five wiles off the Dudgeon, the
snow faling heavily, toe schooner Yana, Captain
Bree,4y, of Exeter, came in e;,r,tact wi h the Iron-
master screw s, ember, from London to Middlebro',
and the former shortly sank. The crew succeeded
iu sticking to the boats, and wet e picked up by the
steamer. The schooner was on a voyage to the
River Plate. Another colli-ion took place off Has•
bro', between the schooner Qtrcksilver, of Sunder-
land, and the brig Jaue, of the saline port. The
schooner lost both masts. Eler crew providentially
reached the Jane. It is supposed that she shortly
afterwards foundered. The Quicksilver was bound
to the Thames, coal laden. The third mishap befel
the brig Stag, Captain Doxford, bound to London
from the Tyne. Near Southwold she carne in col-
lision with a brig, and speedily filled. This crew
were' also happily preserved. • They got on board
the vessel which came foul with them, and were ,
landed near Lowestoft. •

Very heavy weather was also experienced beyond
Flamborough Head, towards the Tyne.
