FATAL ACCIDENT at BRIGHTON.

A melancholy accident, resulting fatally, to Au-
gusta Noel Lewin, nine years of age, and daughter
of a gentleman lately returned from India, and now
residing at 20, Lewes-crescent, Kemp-town, oc-
curred on Tuesday, exactly opposite to the residence
of the Duke of Devonshire, who witnessed the oc•
currence.

Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. F.
H. Gall, coroner for East Sussex, when the following
evidence was adduced :
Mary IVatling, nurse in the family of Mr. Lewin,
deposed that about ten o'clock on Tuesday morning
she took deceased and her sister, Mary Hale Lewin,
a child about a year older, to bathe in the sea. They
bathed accordingly, and left the machine. Wit ness
began to undress, intending to bathe herself and the
youngest child, when she heard a scream, and on
looking out saw deceased lying on the beach.
Louisa Dalleson, servant to a gentleman named
Ellis, was going into the water from the adjoining
machine, when she 4aw deceased, who had just
bathed, get on the outer rim of the wheel of another
machine. Cheesman, the owner of the machine
was at the moment about to take the machine into
the sea with a horse, when seeing the child's
danger, she called out to Cheesman. He appeared
not to hear her, and the next instant the machine was
in motion. As the wheel revolved the deceased kept
fast hold of the spokes ; her legs went up in the air,
and she was thrown violently on the sand, and the
wheels passed over her head, causing the blood to
gush out of her ears. Medical assistance was sent for
immediately.
surgeon, deposed that on a
Mr. Edward Dix,
gentleman driving to his house and requesting him to
accompany him to the beach at Kemp Town, he went
with him in a fly, and arrived in time to see two men
in the act of carrying the body of the deceased to the
saloon of the Kemp Town Esplanade. She was quite
dead ; and death appeared to have been caused in the
manner described by the previous witness, by a
weight passing over the head.
Robert Cheesman, the bather, deposed that he
heard no one call to him, and that he was not aware
of the accident till he casually turned his head, when
he saw the little girl almost under the wheel of the
machine. lie forced the machine back to extricate
her, and he then saw deceased bleeding on the sand.
The jury returned a verdictof " Accidental Death."
Mr. Lewin was absent at the time of the accident,
and Mrs. Lewin had been confined only two days of
her seventh child.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]---BOTANIC WATER AND
BEARS' GREASE. —When the hair is becoming thin, and fall-
ing off', the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head,
isthe use of the two above-named articles, applied alter-
nately, the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and
as a stimulant, and the bears' grease as a nourisher. If any
further evidence was required of the virtues of bears' grease
for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account
of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by
some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient
answer.—Ross & Sores, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street,
London, who first introduced the use of bears' grease in this
country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the
public to purchase none other but with their names and
address printed on the pot; or the chances are their obtain-
ing a spurious article.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Permanent Cure of a Bad
Leg by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The mate of the
Mary Sheppard, in the voyage from Calcutta, injured his leg,
which broke out in one mass of sores, so that he was quite in-
capable of attending to his duty. He tried every available
remedy that the ship's medicine-chest afforded, but without
success. He was then recommended by Mr. Taylor, the
second officer, totry Holloway's Ointment and Pills. Having
procured some from a passenger, he used them with a most
happy result, for long before he reached England his leg was
completely cured, and the surface bore no traces of its former
direful state.--Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Hol-
