THE MELANCHOLY CATASTRoPHE

ON THE RIVER.

Yesterday the Deputy-Coroner for West Middle-
sex held an inquest at the Swan, Fulham, on the
body of Henry Johnson, aged 32, one of the three
unfortunate persons drowned by the tilting of a
small boat on the river last Wednesday. The
bodies of the other deceased, who were daughters
of Mr. Prince, of the Yorkshire Grey, Cheyne-walk,
Chelsea, who were aged respectively 16 and 9 years,
had not been recovered. The painful investigation
attracted much attention.

Charles Johnson, the deceased's father, who was
convulsed with grief, identified the body as that
of his son, Henry Johnson, who was 32 years
of age, anal a lighterman in the employ of Messrs.
Peter Rolt and Co., Rotherhithe. The deceased
was a married man and had a family. It had
been stated in the public prints that he was pay-
ing his addresses to the eldest Miss Prince, who
was drowned. Such was not the case, but he was
intimately acquainted, and on very good terms with
her family. He was a good swimmer.
Mr. W. C. Prince deposed that he knew the de-
ceased, whom he highly respected, and on Wednes-
day, after the regatta, the deceased was at his
house, when his daughters were about proceeding
to Wandsworth. As they were going to walk the
deceased offered to accompany them, and they
started on their journey. He heard nothing more
of them until information was brought of the,
lamentable accident. His daughters' bodies had not
yet been recovered, but he did not attribute blame
to any one in the matter.
John Toovey, an intelligent lad, aged 12 years,
said that on Wednesday evening, about five o'clock,
he was in a field near the water side at Putney,
when he observed a small pleasure-boat, with the
deceased and the two females in it. The youngest
was playing over the side of the boat, when she fell
into the water, and the other, in endeavouring to
catch hold, over-tilted the boat, and all three were
immediately immersed in the river. There Wag 32.
assistance at hand, and they quickly sank.
The deceased's body, it further appeared, was
found some hours afterwards on a mud bank near
the spot.
A verdict of accidental leath was recorded, and
the inquiry terminated.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL-AuG. 19.

The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise during the last
two days have been light. From foreign ports we have
received only 1,802 qrs of beans, 259 qrs of peas, 1,340 (111

qrs of Indian corn, and 290 barrels of Indian corn weal'
The exports in the same time comprise 1,101 qrs of wheat,
250 qrs of oats, 838 qrs of Indian corn, 549 sacks and 112
barrels of flour. There has been considerable steadnese in
the trade since Tuesday. The weather has been dull but
dry since Wednesday night, when we had some heavy
Our market this morning had a fair attendance of the
town and country trade, with a good consumptive demelad,
for wheat at no advance on Tuesday's rates. New wheat
was not so saleable as at last market. Flour met less 111;
quiry, at about late rates. Oats and oatmeal neglected, and
again the turn lower. Barley unaltered. Beans and peas
easier to buy. There was less pressure to sell Indian corn,
and prices rather against buyers.
