MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THE El VER..—Mon
day afternoon an inquest was held at the Magpie and Stump,
Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, before Mr. IA akley, M.P.. Coroner, on
the bodies of Sarah and Hannah Graham, two sisters, of the
respective ages of IS and '2O years, who were drowned in the
river under the foll Owing melancholy circumstances It ap-
peared, by the evidence of several witnesses, who were examined
at great length, that on Sunday afternoon, a party of six per-
sons, consisting of four females and two young men, pro-
ceeded in a boat from Vauxhall-bridge, with the inten-
tion of going to Richmond. The boat was rowed by the
two young men. On artiving at Hammersmith Snepen-
sion•bridge the party altered their intention of proceed-
ing further and returned back. Ott reaching Chelsea,
the whole party landed, and went into the Magpie and Stump
public-house, where they partook of some refreshment, but
were perfectly sober when they returned to the boat at eight
o'clock, for the purpose of going to London. It being per-
ceived by several persons that the young men were pushing the
boat from the causeway near to the Cadogan Nevr Pier,
at which a steam-boat was then lying, with the intention
of going outside of her, they were cautioned, as the tide was
running very strong, to pass underneath the pier, but they
unfortunately disregard such advice, and, owing to their
unskilfulness, and the strength of the stream, the boat was
carried between the dummy. of the pier and the steamer, and in
a moment she filled with water, and went down stern foremost,
leaving the whale party struggling in the river. Every exer-
tion was made, by a great number of persons who witnessed the
accident to save them, but only four of the party, whose names
are Edward flopkin and his wile (the latter of whom was sister
to the deceased females), a young woman, named Jane Prell,
and a young man, named Pinkerton, were got out. The two
' unfortunate young females having sunk beneath the steamer,
immediately went down, and did not rise again. The bodies
were picked up in the mud near Mr. Thorne's malt-house,
opposite the Ilcd-house, Battersea, upwards of half a mile from
the spot where the lamentable accident occurred. All the wit-
nesses concurred in stating that, had the young men gone under
the pier, instead of attempting to go outside of it, the accident
would not have occurred, and that it was entirely owing to
their inexperience in the management, of the boat. The Jury
returned a verdict of " Accidental Death."

FATAL ACCIDENT 1N 111 L PA It X.— -Yesterday
about half-past six o'clock two young gentlemen, rained
Crosby and Birch, whose parents reside in
.Cambr.dge-terrace,
Edgeware-road, went to the Serpentine-to bathe; they un-
dressed on the north-bank, not far from the Receiving-house.
Soon after they were in the ater, Birch was seized with
the cramp, and sunk. His companion endeavoured to save him
by diving repeatedly near the spot where he sank, until he was
quite exhausted, and was scarcely able to reach the bark. The
Humane Society's boat was soon near the spot, and dragged for
a considerable length of time, but, up to eleven o'clock, they
had not succeeded it, discovering the body of the unfortunate
youth. The deceased was sixteen :,ears old, and a very promis-
ing young man.
