THE YARMOUTH BOATMEN.
MUNIFICENT DONATIONS.-11r. Hardy, M.P. for Brad-
ford, has, we understand. with his accustomed lity,rality,
sent to the Ma) or of Yarmouth 501, and Sir E. Kea
rison, Bart., M.P. for Eye, 20/, to be applied to the fund
for relieving- the necessities of the four widows and
fourteen children, left totally unprovided for by the loss
of their husbands, who, after saving the crews of
four vessels wrecked on the Sands opposite Yar-
mouth, on the same day perished in attempting
to save the crew of a vessel on the Serobv.
We heartily hope a sufficient fund may be raised
for the oltiects contemplated, namely, not only to provide
for the destitute widows and children,, but to assist in re-
placing the serious loss of the boat (about 2004), and also
to form a nucleus for a permanent fund for the relief of
the noble-spirited boatmen. Some of these fine fellows
annually perish in their efforts to save • the crews of
vessels wrecked on that dangerous coast, and yet never
hesitate in the attempt, notwith-tanding there is not the
slightest probability either of their saving property or
cbtaiei,g any reward.
We have ascertained that the Yarmouth boatman, on
Sunda) morning last (March 9), at eight o'clock, saved
the crew of the Princess Ito) al, of Newcastle, totally
wrecked on the Scroby sand, under most difficult and
dangerous circumstances.

SNDEEN DEATH OF PROFESSOR DANIEL.—Last.
night Mr. Higgs held an inquest in the Counsel Cham-
ber of the Royal Society, on the body of Mr Daniel,
Professor of Chemistry, King's College, and Foreign
Secretary to the Royal Society, aged 55. The jury
having viewed the body, the following witnesses were
examined. Mr. W. Bowman, assistant-surgeon to
King's College Hospital, was present at a meeting of the
Council of the Royal Society this afternoon ; at twenty
minutes past four o'clock, was seated opposite Processor
Daniel when he came into the Society he appeared in
perfect health; but-shortly afterwards his eyes became
fixed, and his breathing deep and laborious. Witness
exclaimed, "Professor Daniel is surely in a fit," and im-
mediately every one got up to render assistance. His
breathing became more and more difficult, and there was
a great fulness of the vessels of the head. Then with

the concurrence of the medical gentlemen present, I
opened the jugular vein. The blood flowed freely. The
opening was subsequently closed as he appeared to be
rapidly sinking. He died in less than five minutes from
the first attack. Various other witnesses were examined,
and the jury returned a verdic*, " That deceased died of
Apoplexy."
THE HISTORY OF THE CONSULATE AND EMPIRE OF
FRANCE UNDER NAPOLEON.—We understand that the
publication (so long expected) of this important historical
work, written by M. A. Thiers, the late Prime Minister
of France, and which forms a Sequel to his celebrated
History of the French Revolution, is announced to take
place during the present month. Mr. Colburn, of Great
Marlborough street, has become the purchaser of the sole
and exclusive right of prior publication of the work in
Great Britain, and his translation has been made under
the express sanction and approval of the author, by D.
Forbes Campbell, Esq. The first and second volumes,
price ss. each with illustrations, may be received in the
country on the 20th of March, by being previously or-
dered ; sad an edition is also to be issued at the same
time in weekly shilling parts. The perL.d ( mbraced by
this work forms decidedly the most important era in the
History of Modern Times. On the qualifications of the
author it would be superfluous to descant. If the cha-
racter of M. Thiers, as a statesman.were not well-known
to the whole world, the merits of his preliminary " His-
tory of the French Revoluiion" would irresistibly claim
the public favour in behalf of this now production, which
becomes inve..ted with a deeper importance to us the
nearer the history approaches to our own times, and the
ino-e British interests areinvolved in the events which E
records.

EKTRAORDINARY SURGICAL. OPERATION IN THE
GLASGOW .ROYAL INFIRMARY.—We understand that one of
those brilliant operations which has crowned the labours of
modern surgery, and made it the instrument of its unspeak-
able value to the species, was performed in our Royal Infir-
mary on Monday last. A boy, labouring under cancer of the
lower jaw, which must inevitably.have consigned him to his
grave in a few weeks, had that bone cut out of itsjoint at the
temple, and with the bone the cancer removed. The boy i 3 •

tertained of his recovery. Indeed he has not bad a, bad.
