REMEDY. FOR CHILBLAINS. —A common remedy
for Chilblains among the peasants in Russia is the
rind of perfectly ripe cucumbers, dried with the soft
parts attached, and placed with the inner side, previ-
ously soaked in warm water, over the sore parts.
Dmitriefsky confirms the efficacy of this remedy.—
Annals of Chemistry.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Higgs held an inquest :
the Horse and Groom, Whitcombe-street, Suffoll
street East, on the body of a newly-born female
child, of parentage unknown. An investigation h es
beeninstituted by the police authorities of Quee
square, which, it is feared, will implicate a 'worn sa
of good character, and the mother of six childre
with the present alleged murder.
Henry "'offer, 8, Whitehead's-grove, Chelsea, sal d
that on Wednesday evening he saw, in one of t
ti
if
watering places in Duke's-court, at the back of. a
National Gallery, a small deal box, which he lifted
up, and tried to open. It was nailed, however,. and
he carried it away, and gave it to the first policeman
he met, who took it to the Gardiner's-lane stat2ou-
house, where it was opened in presence of witne: ;s.
The box contained the body of a female child, wrapp et
up in a linen apron. There had been a mark 0-
number upon it, which had been picked out.
Thomas Cope, 156 A, said that Inspector Pr
tridge, who was on duty at the station-house, 3
60
quested the attendance of Dr. M‘Cann, surgeon 1;
their division, who ordered the child to be sent to its
surgery. Witness carried it there, and a post inort ad
examination was made before him. The surgeon
the child had been born alive, and from the appea
ante of the face and a mark around the neck,l
should say it had been strangled. One of the apt° 3e
1"
strings
-was missing, and the supposition was, Witt
with it the murder had been done.
One of the Jurymen asked the Coroner whether
Inspector Partridge had any authority to send the
child's. body for examination to Dr. M‘Cann ? and
being answered that the proper course would have
been to have sent the body to St. Martin's work-
hnuse,
.there to be seen by the parish surgeons, a long
discussion ensued, and the manlier in which I. o-
spector Partridge and Dr. I\l'Cann bad acted bell
commented. upon pretty freely, the result was, that
an adjournment of the inquest was ordered till. ,lon'
day,. that. the opinion of the parish surgeons might be
had in evidence before them.
