NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 30.—The Eclair steam-sloop is still at
the Notherbank, where it is most likely she will remain
many weeks.
The malady, whatever it is, still rags on board; three
more deaths have been announced since our dispatch of yes-
terday, and two fresh cases have manifested themselves on
beard.

The quarantine officers will not receive anything from her,
nor is any one allowed to go on board or leave the vessel. We
believe, however, medical aid has been sent from Haslar Hos-
pital; fresh provisions have also been supplied. The Custom-
house officers dare not go on board, and the quarantine vessel
keeps guard round her.
She was sent off the station by the orders of Commander
C. H. M. Buckle, of the Growler steam-sloop ; prior to which,
however, on the disease manifesting itself in the deadly form
it assumed, a commission of three surgeons sat upon the case
to decide what was best to be done under the alarming cir-
cumstances, when they came to the unanimous resolution of
sending the Eclair oft the station and home.
We have been at considerable pains to ascertain the exact
number of dead and their names. The number we believe
to be 65. The names of the men we may be able to furnish
to-morrow. The names of the officers dead we are enabled
to give now. They are—
Mr. IV. G. B. Estcourt, the Commander of the Eclair
(1841).
Surgeon—Mr. John Maconchy (1838).
Paymaster and Purser—Mr. Thomas 11. Hallett (1838).

NUMEROUS SUDDEN DEATIIS.!--Yesterday Mr.
Baker held, at the Refiners' Arms, Buross-street, Commercial-
road, four inquests on the bodies of persons who have died
suddenly. The first was on Owen Clark, aged fifty-five, a
blacksmith, of Hungerford-street. Deceased had scarcely
ever been a day ill until Saturday last, when he had a spas-
modic attack, and died immediately after his wife had given
him a cup of coffee and rum. The second was on the
body of Sharman Stimson, aged fifty-four, clerk to Mr.
Brown, surveyor, &c., of Billit er-street. Deceased had not
been ill far twelve years until Saturday, when be had a
paralytic attack that rendered him speechless. He was
taken home and medically treated, but died at midnight.
The third inquest related to the death of Eliza Hill, aged 18,
a native of Birmingham. She came to London on the 20th
of September, on a visit to her sister. On Saturday morning
last she was seized with violent internal pains, which con-
tinued until her death on Sunday morning. A post mortem
examination, made by Mr. Cory, of the Commercial-road,
showed that death was caused by an ulcer of the stomach,
which had perforated its coats. The fourth was on the body
of Henrietta Elizabeth Bishop, an infant, who received a
slight fall on Saturday week. The circumstance frightened
the mother so much that it altered the character of her milk,
which brought on inflammation of the child's bowels, of
which it died on Sunday. Verdict in each case, "Natural
death."

DEATH WHILST TRYING TO SAVE A FAVOURITE
Doc.—Yesterday Mr. G. J. Mills held an inquest at the Per-
severance, Stephen-street, Lisson-grove, on the body of
William Row, aged forty-six, occasionally employed by Mr.
Frew, coal merchant. On Saturday last deceased with an-
other man went with a waggon of coals to Edgware, for
which he was to receive ninepenca wages. On their return,
as they were approaching Kilburn, the deceased, who was
driving, saw a favourite little dog of his which he had placed
in the waggon going to jump out of it. He ran to save the
animal, and in so doing he slipped and fell on his side on the
road, when the wheels of the vehicle passed obliquely over
the upper part of his body. He was conveyed to his home,
where he died of internal injuries in about two hours after-
wards. Verdict—" Accidental death."
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROYDON RAILWAY.—
Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, a fright-
ful accident occurred on the London and Croydon Railway,
by which a man named Charles Hill, aged thirty-eight years,
lost his life. Hill was foreman of die ballast men employed
on the line between New-cross and the Dartmouth Arms sta-
tion. He was about to start with a train of waggons con-
taining cuttings of earth to another part of the line, to form
an embankment. The train was propelled by a locomotive
engine, which had been set in motion before Hill was quite
ready to accompany it, when- he hastily attempted to get
upon the engine. In so doing his foot slipped, and he fell be-
neath the wheels across the line of rails, and the engine passed
completely over both legs. The engineer stopped the engine
as speedily as possible, when it was fi.und that Hill's right
leg was smashed in a frightful manner, and nearly severed
from the thigh, and the left foot was cut in two. He was con-
veyed to Guy's Hospital, but from the nature of the injuries
he had received, no hopes from the first were entertained of
his recovery. Be lingered until eleven o'clock the same
morning, when death put an end to his sufferings. He has
left a widow and large family.

TUE AIKIROFOIITAN IMPROVEMENTS 1N SPITAL-
FIELFs.—Yesterday the Commissioners of her Majesty's
Woods and Forests issued notices for the erection of the
