SPLENDID LILY SHOW.—Mr. Groom, of Clapham-
rise, so well known for his successful cultivation c.f rare
flowers, has this year brought to great perfection the
Liliuin Lancefolium. Some splendid specimens of this
plant have been on view for some days past, and are now
in their prime. It is only of late years that this species
of lily has excited much attention. It is a magnificent
plant, and the flower is unique for delicacy of colour,
peculiarity of shape, and stately and elegant appearance.
Yesterday Mr. Payne, the Coroner for the borough
of Southwark, held his first inquest in the Queen's
Prison, as it is termed under the recent Act, which has
done away with the Fleet prison, and has given him
jurisdiction in the place of Mr. Le Piper, the former
Coroner. It is a singular fact connected with the case,
that the first inquisition in this place under the new law
should be upon the body of Captain Cresswell, aged 50,
who was only a visitor. Dr. John Radford said lie had
seen the deceased frequently. He was heavy and drowsy.
When he went in he appeared fainting, and some harts-
horn and water was administered to him ; but on raising
his head, he was quite dead. He had no doubt that
death was caused by a rupture of the vessels of the
heart. The Jury, w*thout hesitation, returned a verdict
of " Natural Death."
To TAKE GREASE OUT OF SILK.—If a little
powdered magnesia be applied on the wrong side of the
silk, as soon as the spot is discovered, it is a never fail-
ing remedy, the dark spot disappearing as if by magic.--*
