MILLINERS' APPRENTICES.

Yesterday evening an inquisition was taken at the
sign of the Argyll Arms, in Argyll-street, before
T. HimGs, Esq., Coroner, on view of the body of
a girl, aged only 19 years, named Catherine Aram.
Mr. John Hartup stated, that the deceased was,
use
phtohatdhheeetiiim\evitohf
hhiemr
adhoisstoithfiitvioenNeeks; her busi-
ness in his employ.
v
ness waS to make up ladies' dress caps, veils, and
other fancy articles of female attire, When she
came to him she said she had just left a fashionable
magazin des modes, in Beak-street, Regent-street,
where she had served her time; but the business of
her late employers was so extensive, that she and
the rest of the young ladies were, upon particular
occasions, obliged to sit up the whole of the night
to finish the dresses they were engaged upon ; and
finding that her constitution was not adequate to
the labour imposed on her, she was determined to
leave the situation, and seek for another where there
was less fatigue. Witness agreed to take her at a
salary of 15/. a year, board and lodging, and she en-
tered upon her service. She, however, had not been
there long, perhaps a-wo#lts-4"-""v" attacked
with an hysterical fit, from the effects of which she
soon recovered, and in about ten days after that, she
had a similar attack, and she complained of a sick
head-ache, which produced considerable bodily weak-
ness, and witness sent her home to her family, in
order that she might meet with proper attendance,
and be under the immediate care of her friends.
About a week before her death she returned to her
employment, partly recovered, yet still her counte
nauce was pallid, and her system seemed altogether
reduced. On Thursday evening about six o'clock,
she arose from the tea-table, and- went up stairs to
her chamber to wash her hands previous to resum-
ing her work. Witness had occasion to go past her
door in a few minutes after, when he observed the
unfortunate girl lying upon the floor; he caused an
instant alarm, and Mr. Hunter Nicholson, the sur-
geon of Conduit-street was sent for, but she was
quite dead.
Foreman—What hours do your young women
work, Mr Hartup ?—Mr. Hartup.—From eight in
the morning, till ten at night.
Foreman.—Fourteen hours : that certainly is too
much for any female to bear.
Others of the Jury acquiesced in the opinion of
their foreman.

Mr. Hartup said, that his situation was much
easier than the one the deceased had left, as she had
told him she had frequently worked 18 hours out
of 24.

The Jury exonerated Mr. Hartup from all blame,
but must say that they considered the poor girl's
death had been hastened by being over-NN orked be-
fore she went to live with Mr. Hartup.
One of the jurors said it was a notorious fact, that
at all the principal dress-makers' at the west-end of
the town, the apprentices actually worked day and
night, and even the Sabbath was devoted to labour,
to satisfy the tastes of ladles of fashion. It was
frightful to think human life should be sacrificed to
the whim of fashion.

After someobservations from the jury, they agreed
to return a verdict—" That the deceased died from
natural causes, by the visitation of God."

REGATTA.—The preparations for the Re-
gatta are in active progress; and expectation is on the
tiptoe, lo.sking forward to the appointed day with the mast
pleasurable anticipations. The sport, there is no doubt
will be superior to any thing of the kind ever witnessed
here, and the regulations made by the committee of manage-
ment are such as lead us to hope it will be wholly free
from alloy. The course for the vessels is appointed thus :
—To start from a vessel to be moored off the Noe with the
Union Jack at the mast-head ; from thence to pass through
the east channel of the Breakwater, round a vessel to be
anchored there with a Blue Flag ; from thence round a
vessel with a Red Flag, to be anchored off Penlee Point;
and from thence to return round the Blue Flag through the
east channel of the Breakwater, and round the Union
Jack. This course to be passed over twice, and on at riving
at the starting post (Union Jack), the second time, the
first that rounds it to win the race. At nine o'clock pre-
cisely a gun will be fired from the East Hoe as 4 siF,,ttal for
the vessels to take their stations, but in the event of a calm
or such weather as to prevent the public from attending,
the starting will be delayed as long as the committee may
deem necessary. The committee's tent, with a flag, will
he pitched on the same spot as last year, and a limited num-
ber of Looths will be erected in such places as will not in-
commode the spectators. Horses and carriages of sub-
sctibers will be admitted upon the Hoc free; but for those
of lion-subscribers a trilling suns in aid of the funds must
be paid on admission : this is but fair. The carriages (the
horses being taken from them) are to be drawn up in a line
fronting the sea. In addition to these regulations, no pains
will be spared to accommodate the public, and to preserve
good order. Their Royal Ifiglines:,es the LORD HIGH
An:stsaat. and the Duchess of CLA RENCE are expected to
to be on the ground early, and a convenient passage to the
committee's tent, is to be kept clear for their accommoda-
tion. At the dinner and hall a crowded and fashionable
attendance may be reckoned on, The preparations for the
hitter have caused an immense stir amongst the milliners
and dress-makers; and it is said that the fingers of half the
fair sempstresses ache already. The greater part of WlOO-
- Royal Hotel is engaged for families of distinction
from various parts of the country, and most of the other
hotels and lodging houses have ..found tenants. A great
influx of strangers may therefore be expected. The prizes
will be presented to the winners at the Royal Hotel on
Thursday the 24th. The cups may be seen at Messrs.
Lamrowrs' on; Saturday next. A report having been in
circulation that the Regatta was to he postponed, we think
it necessary to state that Stich report is wholly without
foundation.— Plyninut4 Journal of yesterday.
