CORONERS' INQUESTS.

_ - - - --- -
Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Royal Yacht
Tavern, Stanhope-street, Clare-market, on Saturday
on the body of Mrs. Sarah Anne Willeter, aged 22
years, wife of Mr. Willeter, the extensive tallow.
chandler, of Clare-street, who committed suicide
under the following circumstances :
Mr. G. A. Walker, surgeon, of Drury-lane, said
he was called to attend deceased on the afternoon of
Thursday last. On his arrival he found the deceased
vomiting excessively. Upon making inquiries de-
ceased told witness that she had taken twopenny.
worth of arsenic, but she refused to tell of whom she
had purchased it. Witness attended her the whole of
that day until nine o'clock in the evening, when she
died. A post mortem examination subsequently made
by witness proved that the stomach was much in-
flamed, and the coats in a partial state of corrosion.
The cause of death was from swallowing arsenic.
Charlotte Allen, one of the servants of the de-
ceased, said her mistress complained on Thursday
morning last of having a violent headache. Shortly
after breakfast she sent witners for a pennyworth of ,
sal volatile, which she divided, and drank one part
herself and gave the other to her husband. About I

ten minutes subsequently she sent witness to Mr.
Walker's for a penny worth of magnesia; on her re-
turn she sent witness down stairs to ask her husband
for a glass of brandy. As she entered the room again
she observed deceased drinking what she thought to
be the magnesia, but no sooner had she swallowed it
than she was seized with sickness, which continuing,
her husband requested to be allowed to send for
medical assistance, but deceased replied, " Oh, never
mind, I shall soon get better; it is only the bile."
`Witness could not tell what could have induced de-
ceased to destroy herself, for she always appeared ex-
ceedingly cheerful, and lived upon very happy terms
with her husband. After taking the poison she said,
" I took it to die, and I hope I shall ; and then added,
" Oh, Lord, have mercy on my soul."
By a juror—Deceased was not in the habit of going
out alone, but on Tuesday last she went out by her-
self, and must have purchased the poison on that oc-
casion. •

By the Coroner—l was sent three times down to
empty the pail, containing what deceased had expec-
torated, she saying she had brought up the magnesia.
Deceased was of exceedingly sober habits, and had
been in the country on account of ill-health.
Jane Elizabeth Brooker said deceased had been
married only about eight months. Of late she had
been very indisposed, and appeared low spirited. A
day or two ago she called upon witness, and seemed
exceedingly depressed, which witness attributed to
her ill-health. She was unable to speak positively as
to her state of mind.

The Coroner, having summed up, the jury returned
a verdict of " Temporary insanity."
On Saturday Mr. Wakley, M.P., opened an in-
quiry, which lasted upwards of six hours, at the Ele-
phant and Castle, King's-road, Camden Town, on
the body of Mrs. Mary Anderson, aged 70, the wife.
of a gentleman holding an appointment in the Excise-
office, who was killed by the furious driving of two
persons in a cart belonging to Mr. Gilbert, wax and
tallow-chandler, of Tottenham-court-road, on Wed-
nesday evening last.

The accused parties, William Limand, the driver,
and Frederick Cloke, late shopman to Mr. Gilbert,
were produced before the coroner by inspector Froud,
having been remanded from Marylebone Police-court
to wait the result of the inquiry.
From the evidence of two labouring men, named
Wildman and Coates, it appeared that on Wednesday
evening last, about ten, minutes after six o'clock, they
were standing in the vicinity of the Wire's Head,
when they saw the deceased crossing the Kentish
Town-road from Jeffry-street to Hawley-road. As
she neared the centre of the road the horse attached
to a covered cart drove along in the direction of
Camden Town, at the rate of between seven and eight
miles an hour. The horse knocked deceased down,
and one of the wheels passed over her. The driver of
the cart was then called to by Wildman to stop as he
was known, but instead of doing so they went on at a
much greater pace, and he could not keep up with the
cart. There were a number of lights in the road at
this spot, three outside the Wire's Head, one at the
corner of the Hawley-road, another immediately op-
posite at the corner of Jeffry-street, and another gas-
light about ten yards from the corner of the Hawley-
road. It was a dark evening, but the witnesses could
plainly see there were two men and a woman in the
cart. They heard one of the men call out to deceased.

Mr. William Anderson said he was a clerk in the
Admiralty, and resided in Exeter-street South, Haw-
ley-road. The deceased was his mother, and resided
with his father at 5, Prebend-place, Kentish Town.
On the evening of the occurrence she was coming
fro.n her own house on a visit to him. She had good
sight, but was somewhat deaf occasionally, and had
not long since expressed to witness's wife that she
feared she should some day be run over.
Eliza Gilder said she was single, and lived at No.
4, Church-way, Somers Town, with her mother.
She knew both the prisoners, Cloke and Limand, but
had never seen them before Wednesday evening last.
She met the two men at Highgate, on her return from
Finchley, and asked them to give her a ride, as she
was tired, and they did so. They came through
Kentish Town at a rapid pace. There was no romping
whilst doing so. The cart belonged to Mr. Gilbert,
wax and tallow-chandler, of Howland-street. They
were all sitting together on the seat nearly in front
of the cart, and the prisoner Cloke was driving. On
arriving at the Wire's Head she heard Limand call
out, " Hoy, hoy," and she then saw the deceased in
front of the cart, near the horse's head, and in a
minute after the horse knocked her down, and, she
believed, one of the wheels passed over her. She
believed so, as one of the young men said as they
went along, "By God, you have run over her."
After deceased was knocked down, the man Cloke,
who was driving, was about to pull up, when Limand
snatched the reins from him, and drove like lightning.
They went up Park-street, through Grove-street and
Mornington crescent, into Cumberland Market, and
when there they stopped, and Limand looked out and
said, " We are all right, no one is after us."
The Coroner inquired how it was that these par-
ties were traced ?

Tiffin, the summoning officer, said in a very sin-
gular mariner. The last witness came on Thursday
to the workhouse for a medical order, and whilst
there, hearing the occurrence talked of, she said,
" Oh, I know all about it ; I was in the cart at
the time." This coming to his ears enabled him to
trace them out, and the girl identified them.
The room was cleared of strangers, and after a con-
sultation of about twenty minutes' duration, the jury
returned a verdict of" Manslaughter against William
Limand and Frederick Cloke."
The Coroner made out his warrant for the com-
mittal to Newgate, but gave Inspector Proud, is whose
hands it was placed, instructions not to execute it
until after the prisoners were again taken before Mr.
Long, the magistrate.

S. and B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly,—Gentlemen, I have no hesitation in replying
to your inquiry as to the results obtained by the use of

INFAMOUS CASH REPORTED IN TIIE " TIMES" OF
SATURDAY, NOV. 2 —REFUSAL OF :A MEDICAL MAW
TO GIVE A CERTIFICATE OF BURIAL.—PeopIe of Eng-
land,—One of the infamous powers granted to doctors in
order to put money into their pockets is, that no one can
be buried without H certificate from one of them—this
is, in other words, to force people to employ them in
sickness, whether they feel disposed to so do or not.
Read the paragraph which appeared in the Times of
last Saturday. When wilt people awake from their
lethargy on this question? Do you now understand
what flygeists mean by the medical liberty of the
subject? Issued by Morison and Moat, of the British
College of Health, New-road, London, for and on behalf
of the body of fiygeists, who contend, that since all
diseases arise from one cause, namely, an impurity of
the blood, they can be cured by the Vegetable Universal
Medicine, which being composed of innocuous ingre-
dients, may be taken by any person without the aid of
a doctor.

THE OVERLAND PASSAGE TO INDIA.--The antici-
pations which were excited by the announcement of
Major and Mrs. Darby Griffith's description of their
Journey Across the Desert, and the various exciting
incident of their Overland Passage from India, have
been more than realised by the publication of the work,
which turns out to bo as entertaining a companion as it
was pretty sure to be useful and valuable as a guide. The
pecnliar facilities and advantages which Major Griffith
and his lady seem to have enjoyed, and the unusual stay
which they made at the principal points of the journey,
have given a value to these volumes which no mere hasty
and passing glance at the various features of the work
could have afforded. The Journey across the Desert
from Suez to Alexandria ; the novel description of our
new military colony at Aden ; the account of the passage
of the Red Sea, and the voyage on the Nile ; the full and
interesting description- of Malta ; and the rapid and
spirited sketches of Sicily and Italy—all these features of
the work give it a value and attraction not belonging to
ordinary books of travel.

THE SUICIDE AT KILMARNOCK.—We gave on Wed-
nesday last the particulars of a very singular suicide
eommitted near Kilmarnock, by an elderly gentleman and
a lady presumed to be his wife, who had drowned them-
selves in the river Irvine, after having tied their arms
together with handkerchief's. We understand there is
every reason to believe that the parties were a Mr. Jo-
seph Barker, formerly of this town, and his v%ife. Mr.
Barker vs as one of the firm of John and Joseph Barker,
Cromford-court, who were largely engaged in the
German trade. and failed somewhere about the year
1814. Mr. John Barker, we believe, died very
shortly afterwards ; but Mr. Joseph BRace; sub
sequently resided in
_London, and more recently
travelled for sometime for a house at Birmingham.
This employment he left a few months ago, with a vi. 7
to a connexion with a house in London; which, how-
ever, he did not succeed ; and it is supposed that disap-
pointment on this score, and probably the exhaustion of
his resources, led to the commission of the fatal act.—

LATE VISIT TO PORTSMOUTH
OF THE FRENCH SQUADRON.

A letter, of which the following is a translated
copy, has been received by the chief naval, military,
and civil authorities at this port, acknowledging the
universal courtesy, hospitality, and friendly disposi-
tion exhibited by the British officers and civilians
towards the officers of the French squadron, on their
recent sojourn at this port :
" Paris, Oct. 26, 1844.
"TO ADMIRAL SIR CHARLES ROWLEY.

" Sir,—The official reports which I have received
from Vice-Admiral Baron de la Susse contain the
most minute accounts of what took place at Ports-
mouth in the reception' given to the officers of
the French squadron by the eager assembly of the
population of that port, together with every honour-
able manifestation from the English royal navy,
which was added thereto.
" I have at the same time received an account of
the additional splendour which was united to these
noble demonstrations by the visit which her Majesty
the Queen of England condescended to pay to the
frigate Le Gomer, after the departure of his Majesty
the King of the French.
"The first professions, which, according to the
example constantly given by your Excellency, had so
handsomely taken place on the part of the officers of
the English Royal Navy, and of the principal autho-
rities and other inhabitants of Portsmouth, have been
crowned in the most flattering manner by its having
pleased her Britannic Majesty to grant the distin-
guished favour of her presence on board the vessel
which bore the flag of Vice-Admiral de la Susse, and
these testimonials have been warmly felt by the whole
royal navy of France.
"I come, therefore, M. Admiral, in the name of the
naval and military body at the them' of which I have
the honour to be✓ placed, to request your Excellency
to receive for yourself our thanks, and to express as
much as possible to the Royal Navy of England, as
also to the different persons who were kindly pleased
on that occasion to unite in the feelings by which they
have shown themselves actuated, the deeply gratify-
ing remembrance which we all preserve of the recep-
tion which has been given us in that port of Great
Britain where the flag of your Excellency floats.
" This reception, which accords so well in every re-
spect with the existence of the reports of the perfect
harmony which I have so frequently seen manifested
between the navies of.the two countries, is at this
time the indelible sign of the just and mutual esteem
which unites them.

" In congratulating my self most truly, M.*.Admiral,
on being called to become the faithful interpreter of
these sentiments, I esteem myself happy in having to
add thereto the personal confidence with which I have
the honour to be, your Excellency's very humble and
obedient servant, " Baron MACKAU,
" Vice-Admiral, Peer of France, and Secretary
of State for the Navy and Colonies."

TREMENDOUS STORM.

PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF BIRKENHEAD

MARKET.

BIRKET4HEAD, CHESHIRE, SATURDAY.—During the
whole of yesterday the weather was extremely
boisterous here ; but as evening closed in the wind
blew with great violence, and eventually became a
complete hurricane, sweeping along the Cheshire
shores with the utmost fury, to the great alarm of the
inhabitants of the several towns and villages which
were exposed in succession to this fearful visitation—
namely, Runcorn, Eastham, Birkenhead, Seacombe,
Egremont, New Brighton, Liscard, &c.; but, with
the exception of Birkenhead, so recently the scene of
high festival, on the occasion of laying the foundation-
stone of the new dock—with the exception of that
rapidly-improving place, little, damage was sus-
tained beyond the blowing in of a few windows, and
the effects of no slightly-grounded apprehension.
At about eleven o'clock this morning, the storm
then being at its greatest height in and around
Birkenhead, a large portion of the wall of a new
market, now in course of erection in that town, gave
way before the fury of the blast to which it was
opposed,
and fell inwards with a crash so terrible,
that the shock startled many persons who w ere up-
wards of two miles from the spot at the time. I-
fortunately happened that most of the workmen
were occupied in the central avenue at this juncture ;
the vast descending mass, however, reached two of
them, who were severely injured; and another man,
who had just mounted what is termed the second
story of a scaffolding, was hurled amongst the frag-
ments of the shattered structure, and literally bur it d
beneath them. He was subsequently rescued, with
great difficulty, but was quite insensible, and for some
time his case was considered hopeless. The sufferers
were promptly conveyed to the Dispensary, where
every attention was paid to them by Mr. Stevenson,
surgeon, and the house surgeon, Mr. Evans ; when
it was found that one of those first alluded to,
named James Ellis, aged 32, had received a com-
pound fracture of the leg, and was otherwise much
injured ; that the other, named Samuel Hughes,
aged 22, was dreadfully contused on the head, loins,
and other parts of the body. The unfortunate inn
who was thrown from the scaiTold, named Jr,hn Can-
non, and aged 27, was also bruised in a sh-icking,.,
manner, but it was really wonderful that he escaped
with life, considering the awful situation in which he
was placed, with a weight of brickwork to sustain
which seemed more than sufficient to crush the
strongest mortal frame to atoms. The astounding
nature of this fact will he gathered from a brief de-
scription of the edifice. All who have visited Liver-
pool must have seen St. John's market ; the erection
mutilated by the accident just recorded is on the same
plan, and nearly as extensive. It forms an oblong
square, 430 feet long by 130 feet in breadth ; the onter
walls, however, were only nine inches, or the length
of one brick thick ; and though this was strengthened
by pilasters at intervals of 13 feet 10 inches on every
side, yet, considering the height of the wall, which is
nearly 30 feet, such thickness, even with the aid of
the bolstering afforded by the pilasters. 20 inches, is
pronounced by competent judges to be utterly inade-
quate for that assurance of safety which the public
have a right to demand, and which the lamentable
frequency of fatal accidents of the kind renders it so
necessary to exact. About 80 feet in length of this
wall fell, and a large portion of it covered the un-
happy victim to whom reference has last been made.
The fracture, however, extends to nearly the whole
length of the wall, on either side of the formidable
breach; it will, therefore, most likely be found neces-
sary to rebuild the whole. Messrs. Tors and Ren-
ders, it is said, are the parties with whom the contract
for the erection of the edifice was made.

Some of the Liverpool papers published second
secondeditions this evening, giving a most ex 4ger
-
ac-
count of the above affair, together yvith a statement of
.
ever, are only the number killed ; as thesP,, now
news-
paper deaths, the Cor':::;*r will, happily, not be troubled
to " sit" on thg bodies.

During the violence of the storm, it was not with-
out great difficulty that even strong men could with-
stand its force.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE AT KIRKSTALL FORGE,
NEAR LEEDS.—A lamentahle circumstance took place
at Kirkstall Forge, the iron works of Messrs. Beecroft,
Butler, and Co., on Wednesday morning last, arising
out of a quarrel which took place between Wm. Fox
and John Atkinson, two of the forgeuien employed at
that place. The workmen are divided into two classes,
one set working by night and another by day. Atkin-
son was a night man, and it seems that a quarrel took
place between him and Fox, in consequence of his not
having got the furnace properly ready for the latter,
who is a day man ; the custom being for those
work during the night to have the furnaces in a cert'ain
state of preparation for the day men when they aa.riee
in the morning. In the course of the quarrel ,2 ox was
struck by Atkinson two or three times, but did not re-
turn the blows, his anger, unfortunately, manifesting it-
self soon after in a much more ,l-esperate form. Bars
of iron, five or six feet lone. called ‘• staffs," are us.,cl
o
for the purpose of forgiei,ne end being welded to the
ball of metal which is to be operated on, and which can
thus be mono about, in or oat of the furnace, as the
woriarecii May require. Both parties had resumed their
werei, and about five minutes had elapsed, after the
quarrel had apparently subsided, when Fox took one of
these " staffs" out of the furnace, and raising it above
his head, and directing the end, which he had brought
to a white or welding heat, at the body of Elkinson, he
darted it at him like a lance. It struck the unfortunate
man on the left side of his person, inflicting a frightful
wound, and he instantly fell with his face on the door.
He had fortunately observed the unusual warmer in
which Fox held the staff, and by turning partially
round, had prevented the heated iron from entering the
middle of his body ; otherwise instantaneous death
would in all probability have been the consequence, as
there was no thickness of clothes to prevent the blow
taking full effect, the forgemen, in consequence of the
heated atmosphere in which they work, wearing nothing
but their shirts on the upper part of their persons. The
end of the bar was at such a terrible heat, that the metal
or dross is said to have fallen from it in liquid drops,
even after the blow was struck. Atkinson was imme-
diately raised from the ground by his fellow-workmen,
and conducted to the house of a relative, when medical
advice was promptly procured ; and we are glad to say,
that there are some hopes of his ultimate recovery, the
iron having missed the more vital parts. Fox was ap-
prehended by Mr. Glover, the constable of Chapeltown,
and brought down to the prison at Leeds, where he now
remains in custody, until the injuries inflicted un Atkin-
son, shall be known. Both the men are young ; Fox
being only about twenty years of age, and Atkinson
about twenty-five. The former, who comes from Derby-
shire, had only been two or three weeks at the forge;
the latter had been there some months,-_-.. eetls Tines,
