CORONER'S INQUEST.

On Saturday evening an inquiry was instituted
before J. W. UNWIN, Esq. at the Canning's Head
public-house, Sydney-street, Commercial-road, to
ascertain the circumstances leading to the death of
James Bartholomew O'Sullivan, Esq., late a Ma-
gistrate of the counties of Cork, Limerick, and
Kerry, and the original proprietor of the extensive
paper-mills at Dripsey and Blarney, in the former
county.
After viewing the body, which lay in the house
where the Court was holden, and which, on exa-
mination, exhibited a severe bruise over the right
temple, and a clear iNcision near the adjoining ar-
tery, the following evidence was submitted for ON
consideration of the Jury :
Mr. Henry Johnson examined—l live at No. st
Collet-place, and am a cabinet-maker. On Friday
night, about nine o'clock, as I was returning home,
and was passing by the unfinished building-, oppos
site this house, I heard a noise coining from the
• water which is in front of them. It appeared to mo
to issue from the bottom, and to be made by a
person struggling. I called out, but no one an.:
swered me. I then asked a person opposite for a
candle, but he refused it, accompanying his refusal
with an inhuman remark.
Juror—What was it Witness—l told him that
I believed a man had fallen into the water, and that
I was anxious, if possible, to rescue him. The
candle was refused me, and the observation made
use of was, " Well, if he has, it has served him
right."—(" Shame, shame," was reiterated by the
Jury.)

Examination resumed—l, at length, procured a
ghr, and, with the assistance of unother person,
extricated the deceased from the water, and brought
him to this house. He appeared to me to be quite
dead, and beyond the power of resuscitation. I ob-
served no marks of external injury on his person,
with the exception of a bruise over his right temple ;
when we brought him here, all his clothes, except
his hat, were on him. I cannot tell how he got into
the water, nor do I think any one has been acces-
sory to his death; the deceased appeared to me to
have been between .50 and 60 years of age.
Juror—Had the assistance you at first applied for
been rendered, do you think the gentleman's Ida
might have been preserved ? Witness—That I
cannot say. My opinion is, that he must have been
alive when I first made a call, as I then heard a
noise which betokened animation.
Juror—ls not this place in a most dangerous con-
dition, and might not even the most sober man fall
into it? Witness—Nothing can be more dan-
gerous, and accidents, 1 have heard, have occurred,
even to persons living in its immediate neighbourhood.
The articles found upon the deceased were hero
produced by Mr. Bartley, the high constable, and
among several papers was found the following, which
was evidently intended for publication :
" It gives us much pleasure to be enabled to
state to our readers, at this and the other side of the
water, that James B. O'Sulliven, Esq., after many
years compulsory removal from trade, is about re,
suming the business of a paper manufacturer at his
extensive mills at Dripsey and Blarney, in the
county of Cork, Ireland.
" The re-establishment of the manufacture in
these magnificent buildings, in the erection of which
Mr. O'Sullivan has expended over .50,0001., may
be considered as a new epoch in the contribution of
comforts and the means of industry to the poor.—
A large unemployed population surrounds them,
and the impetus which it will give to their hottest
exertions, will go far to the quieting the turbulent
spirit which has latterly existed. For some causes.
which Mr. O'Sullivan intends hereafter to speak of,
a want of spirit and energy has led to the disconti-
nuance of the business, but now that they are re-
moved, every prospect exists of their bestowing that
benefit upon the country which, while under his
management, was admitted that they formerly im•
parted.

" His arrival among his old and long-attached
servants is eagerly looked for, and, as we understand,
he purposes commencing business with a large capital
on the opening of the new year."
William speed examined-1 am an ivory turner,•
and live in this street. I assisted Mr. Johnson in
removing the deceased from the water, and brought
him to this house. In my belief he was drowned.
A gentleman present intimated to the Coroner
that he knew who and what the deceased was. Mr.
O'Sullivan, he said, was the proprietor of extensive
paper factories in Ireland, and that in the course of
his business he has had property pass through his
hands to more than the amount of 500,0001.
Mr. Frederick Abraham Cleeve, a surgeon, of 13,
Bedford.square, was convinced that the deceased'
died from drowning. The bruise on his temple was
merely superficial, and could not have produced his
death.

The Foreman of the Jury submitted to the Coro-
ner the propriety of punishing the owner of the
premises in front of which Mr. O'Sullivan met his

death, for his culpable neglect, andcaileiuP;hin;
to exert his authority for the suppression of what
was not only a nuisance, but a positive man-trap.
The CORONER—The power does not rest with
me. I admit it is a nuisance of the most dangerous

description; but the only way you have to abate it
is, for the constable to indict the proprietors. You

may, if you choose, record your sentiments in the

verdict.

Some further conversation took place, and, as
touching Mr. O'Sullivan's death, a verdict of " Ac-
cidental death" was returned ; and as to the nuisance,
orders were given to indict it.

DONCASTER RACES.--" What shall I lay
you on the plate?" said a gentleman of the betting frater-
nity, on the last day of the !ate meeting, to is gallant i•illcur
resident in this neighbourhood. "I thank you for )our
kind inquiry," answered Colonel G., " I have had no
lunch to-day, and feel devilish hungry—a little niuron,
therefore, if you please !"--..1n answer, which :unused -the,
br't"de" much more than the gentleman it was std -
dressed to,—Domeaster Gazes**. .

that I consider this act, by which I resign into
your hands the commiFsion of Generalissimo of
your armies, as an act which annuls the oath by
which I bound myself in the Congress of Tree-
zene faithfully to serve the Greek nation, which
obligation I have most inviolably kept. I hive
to collect the scattered documents relative to the
ldministration of the trifling Inds which have
passed through my hands for military services,
and this shall be done with as.little delay as
possible.

" I shall conclude this letter with that frank-
ness which I hope Will always characterize me,
by giving yuu•any humble opinion (which wy
anxiety for the welfare of Greece, I trust, will
exifime), that the prospects of your epntry de-
p6d inzA grtfat measure on the wisdom and pa-
Atiseof your resolutions, and can your con-
ciliating to the highest degree the favour of the
A Hied Powers.
