and 3 children ; 41st Regiment, 19 rank and file ; 78th Regi-

DEATH FROM LocK-JAw.--Mr. Baker held an in-
quest on Friday at the London Hospital, on the body of Mary
Bowen, aged twenty-nine. Mrs. Hannah Henshaw, of 127,
Brick-lane, said that the deceased was her servant. On the
sth of June deceased was upon her knees, scrubbing the floor,
when a splinter from the boards entered her right thumb
between the nail and the flesh. She suffered greatly from the
swelling which ensued, but by the application of poultices it
was reduced, and became apparently well in eight days. On
Saturday week last she complained of sore throat, and on the
following Wednesday it was so bad as to prevent her from
eating. Witness then had the advice of a surgeon, and de-
ceased was taken to the above hospital. Mr. C. Luck, the
house surgeon, said that the deceased was admitted to the
hospital on Wednesday week last, exhibiting strong symptoms
of lock-jaw. It soon became evident that this was occasioned
by an injury to a nerve of the right thumb, and she died of its
consequences on Wednesday last. Verdict, " Accidental
Death."

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN SUSSEX.—Thursday after-
noon the inhabitants of Tarring, a small village, about two
miles westward of Worthing, were thrown into consternation
by a tire breaking out in an extensive malt-house, belonging to
Mr. Barker. The tire was first discovered about two o'clock
in the afternoon, the sparks falling from a chimney having
caught the thatch with which the building was covered. About
half-past three the fire was distinctly visible from the cliffs
at Brighton, which were lined with spectators. The whole of
the malthouses, buildings, and outhouses belonging to Mr. Bar-
ker were ccmpletely destroyed, but a number of sacks of grain
were removed from some of them to a place of safety. Mr.
Barker was absent from home attending the Brighton Corn
Market, and did not return until his property was levelled to
to the ground.

On Friday an inquest was held before Mr. Higgs,
the Coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, at the Golden Fleece,
Edmonton, respecting the death of William Rich, who was
found dead in one of the stables attached to the above house,
where he was under ostler, on Tuesday. The deceased though
eomplained of
but 19 years of age, had all the appearance of a. man upwards of
60, brought on by continued and excessive drinking of ardent
spirits, a vice to which he had addicted himself from the time
he was a mere boy. He had often been attacked with delirium
tremens, and his life was many times in great danger. It was
said that he had lately confined himself to the drinking of beer,
although this was carried to excess. He hadbeen unwell for some
time, in consequence of his early habits of intemperance, but on
ilia'unetslinaythme sotrtniminfch.a"Antrleidalbf-eptatestr,tetnhohuegiwi•ehnet. into the stable
and laid himself dawn on some hersecloths, which he preferred
doing to going home. His father was repeatedly in the stable
in the course of the morning, but at eleven o clock the deceased
appeared insensible, and was seemingly in a fit, with a dreadful
rattling in his throat. Mr. Biddle, of Edmonton,surgeen, was
sent for, but en his arrival he was quite dead, and in his opinion
it was caused by a fit of apoplexy. The deceased had not
lately Leen confined by illness, but Mr. Biddle had frequently
seen him suffering under delirium tremens, when his recovery
was despaired of. The jury, who seemed well acquainted with
the career of the deceased, consulted for ashort time, and then
retnrned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God,"

VISCOUNT DRUMLANRIG rerSU• " A MAN NAMED
WIGGINS."—A cricket-match was played in the ilrocas at
Eton, between the Etonian and South Loudon Clubs, on Wed-
nesday last. Viscount Drurelanrig rowed in his skiff to the
field, which adjoins the Thames (mooring the boat off " the
clump"), to witness the play. While his Lordship was in the
field, a man named Wiggins unloosed the boat, which drifted
some distance down the stream. An gltPreAtino isfmtegiabred-s

CRICKET-MATCH.

THE GENTLEMEN OF KENT V. THE GENTLEMEN OF
. - ENGLAND.
The Grand MatCh between eleven gentlemen se-
lected from the county of Kent, and a similar
number chosen from the several counties of England,
will be played this day and to-morrow, at Lord's
Ground. It will be seen from the list of
players that both elevens comprise the elite
of Kent and the " cracks" of England, and it is
expected that all will " show," with the exception,
perhaps, of one or two of the Kentish gentlemen,
who may be prevented from playing by the pressure
of other engagements. A. Mynn, Esq., and W.
Mynn' Esq., two very celebrated players of Kent
(the former a splendid bowler) have selected
this occasion for their first appearance this
season at Lord's, and supported as they will be
by those colleagues who have the reputation of being
superior cricketers, some first-rate play may be anti-
cipated ; in fact, this is likely to be the best match
that has been played this year a Lord's. It excites
the most intense interest among.the clubs generally,
particularly the provincial' ones. During the past
week the betting has been very brisk, and some
heavy " books" were made among the members of the
Marylebone and other well-known clubs. The bet-
ting is even, but, in some instances, a point has been
given in favour of Kent.

On Wednesday a match will be played at Lords'
between eleven officers of the Foot Guards (household
brigade), and eleven officers of the Royal Artillery
(Woolwich). The match will doubtless prove very
attractive.
THE MARYLEBONE CLUB V. THE MANCHESTER CLUB.
This match is fixed for Thursday, at Lord's, and
it is likely to occupy the whole of the following day.

contradict its account of an affray between the Captain
of the Claire and the Captain of an English steamer,
and, very unexpeotodly, it is the Captain of the Claire
himself who has insisted on the contradiction. No part
of the statement of the Indicateur appears to be true,
except the mere fact of one of those port rows as to
moorincrs, which are so common, without reference to
nationality.
