THE FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE IN SPITALFIELDS•
—CORONER'S INQUEST— THIS DAT.)—This morning lir.
Humphreys, Coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest 011
the body of Robert Dukes, aged 18, who lost his life at the
fire which occurred on the premises of Mr. Simlick, a match
box maker, in Delham-street, on Tuesday morning last•
Several witnesses were examined, the principal of whom
was Benjamin King, who said that he worked for 311'
Simlick, and on Tuesday morning he lighted the fire 1,1
the workshop. There was no fender, and some loose she`i-
ings were lying round, when a sudden gust of wind blevr
some of the lighted shavings amongst those lying loose on
the floor, which caused the place to be burned down. The
Coroner, in summing up, remarked upon the loose tnanser,
the shavings were kept, and no fender or even piece 0
board being placed in front of the fire-place. The jury ro-
turned a verdict of " Accidental Death."

LORDS LYNDHURST AND BROUGHAM AND 11°
GREAT SEAL.—Within the memory of men who are
still young, there was a keen contest between Lord Lynd"
hurst and Lord Brougham, with regard to their respeetill°
claims to Ceorge IV.'s great seal. On William IV.'s ge:
cession, when an order in council was made for a new Greg"
Seal, Lord Lyndhurst was Chancellor ; but before Me
king's engraver had accomplished the order, and whilst
George IV.'s seal was still in use, Homy Brougham be-
came the keeper of the king's conscience. When, at length,
the seal of the last reign was damasked, the question rose
—to which of the two lawyers, the chancellor or the 0:
chancellor, it fell as a perquisite of office. Lord Lyndhurst
(who was unquestionably in the wrong) advanced his
claim on the ground that, as the order was made durin;
his tenure of office, the seal was actually discarded during
his chancellorship, and therefore it fell to hid:
On the other hand, Lord Brougham argued that
the order for a new seal was but a step prudently takeil in
anticipation of the act by which George IV.'s seal was de-
stroyed ; that, whilst the order was being executed by the
engraver, the seal of his late Majesty George IV. ‘1738 is
fact as well as theory the seal of King William IV, ; that
he, Baron Brougham and Vaux, had held this same seal
and done business with it, no one venturing to hint that
its virtue was impaired or any way affected by the order ill
council; thlt the seal was not destroyed till William lII'
damasked it, at which time he, Lord Brougham, was its
holder. The dispute was at its height, when William ,
acting as arbitrator:with the consent of the parties, Woo'
Dated the contest by a decision which, like most decisions
arrived at by arbitration, was directly in defiance of On;
ciple, precedent, and law. To one lawyer the reverse c'•
the seal was awardel, to the other the obverse, and in
order that his decision might be acceptable to both suitors,.
the king directed that each part should at his own rord
cost be set in a rich silver salver.—Jeagreson's Book a1)(444

THE FIRE AT QUEBEC.—Yesterday a meeting .of
the committee formed in the City of London for the relid'
of the sufferers by the conflagration at Quebec was 14e1,
at the Mansion-house, there being present the Lord itta...Ye''
(Mr. Alderman Gabriel), Mr. E. W. Watkin,
r.
Nathaniel Rothschild, M.P., Mr. G. Grenfell Glyn, AL,'"
Mr. Russell Sturgis, Mr. J. S. Morgan, and Mr. 3- -`u;
Grant, the hon. sec. Mr. Watkin, M.P. the chairman e`
the committee, stated that up to the preceding evening the
total sum subscribed was about £14,500, of which £lO,OOO
had already been authorised, through the, medium of the
Atlantic Telegraph, to be drawn at Quebec by the gal°
towards the immediate relief of the sufferers. The CO
mittee at Manchester had also made arrangements to sell'
out by the next steamer 1,000 pairs of blankets. The Lou-
don committee had arranged for the Allen line of steal:Bell
to carry all blankets, warm clothing, and stores from Liver-
pool to Portland, wholly free of charge, and from Portion'
to Quebec, by the Grand Trunk Railway, free of charge
also. He believed the merchants in Liverpool, Ginsgft,,,:
and Dublin, were likewise getting up subscriptions.
committee hi Loudon had done everything they could 1113
to this point. They hoped to receive a good deal inn°
money towards the relief of the distress. In the meantime
they would be very grateful for any donations of blankets
or stores. There were many manufacturers who had g°t
,
things not exactly saleable. These at such a time w°ll`a
come in for winter use, and be as good as money. l'he
Lord Mayor thought that could not be too publicly knnTl.:
Before separating the committee' passed a resolution lit
structing Mr. Grant, the hon. secretary, to authorise al',
additional draft on Messrs. Glyn for £l,OOO, and to tree
graph the fact to the Mayor of Quebec that evening. I‘,o
subscription in the City up to last evening amounted
about £15,000. On Tuesday a public meeting, ailed )i
the Lord Provost, was held in Glasgow to commence sub'
u
scription on behalf of the sufferers by the recent fire
Quebec. At the close of the meeting it was announce
that £650 had been already subscribed.

SPORTING NEws.-11r. Punch is haPPY
announce that the garotting season has opene";
and that some very good sport has already been affnrda7.
On Monday, at dusk, Mr. Conky Bill and Mr. 51-fre;
succeeded in bringing (lowa an old gentleman with one
~ca
the finest gold watches that have been seen in
ditch. The next evening, Mr. Horsemonger Lane and gra.
Bigg Bludgeon brought down the father of a family "
couple of well-directed blows on the back of the head,
''
their skill and gallantry was not rewarded by the el3ni't
in consequence of the approach of a little girl, whose stel)"
they mistook for those of a policeman. But on Wedges:
day night, Mr. Gorging Jack and Mr. Guzzling JiinnT
assisted by that promising young sportsman, Little Bine"
garotted a governess who was returning from Clo.phnT
with her week's salary, and they effected an easy retree,:
About tho same hour on Thursday, Mr. Black Muzzle,
companied by his friends, Mr. Thomas Loafer and gr.
John Cadger, made a determined attempt upon a isr:tr
Office clerk, who was on his way home to Kilburn,
we regret that the ferocity of the quarry not only pre;
vented a capture, but injured one of the sportsmen,
eye was poked out by the umbrella of the infuriated clers;;
On Friday the only success we heard of was gained bY
.„,„ii-
party of sportsmen from Bow, conducted by the "--„,
known ranger and guide, Isaac Moses Smouch, "11°0-
sagacity soon brought them behind a gentleman who
incautiously carrying in both hands presents for his c-„,
dren, and who, therefore, was soon at the feet of his at'a
tors. But on Saturday night there were several sPlent.,
heads of game brought down, among them a noble Ine."„
cal man on his rounds among the poor, and who fell to.tn:
bludgeon of Mr. Richard Grimes ; an ld City clerk, g°,1131;
home to his family, and whose pocketbook rewarded
daring of Mr. Nobler and Mr. Smasher, Ph.; a3jca
author who, on his way to his club, unguardedly to
,ht
cut through an unfrequented street,' and was brio
down by four or five sportsmen promptly repairing to
.10
spot, and making short work of the unlucky scribe•
may, therefore, congratulate the garotting public on.
Java
auspicious inauguration of their season, and we raaY 've
the good news that several members of Parliament ilaititt
been viewed, and are reported as haunting the Beigr3lor
and Tyburnian squares. Wo doubt not that our advan,i,
rous sportsmen will give a good account .of smile of ts'
game as the dark nights come on.—Punch.
