FIVE FEMALE PAUPERS BURNT ro DEATH.

A Coroner's Inquest was yesterday held on the bodies
of the five unfortunate persons who perished by the
work-house, in the parish of St. George's in the East,
catching fire, last Wednesday morning. The body of
the man, who in our report was said to be missing, has
sinaebeen found, but in so shocking .a state as scarcely
to be recognizable, the lower extremities being actually
consumed. From the evidence of Charles Portlock, the
overseer of the persons employed in the oakum shop, it
appears that he went into the shop between five and six
o'clock on Wednesday morning; that then everything
was perfectly right and proper; that he struck a light
according to his custom, and that some of the burning
brimstone from the match fell among the oakum, which
instantly burst into a flame beyond his power to check.
It was the practice, it seems, to keep a fire in this shop
during the day, and the witness described the oakum as
lying within half a yard of the fire-place. From the
evidence of the nurses it would appear, that the wards
for the sick and imbecile were placed directly over this
workshop ; and it is rather surprising that so many
escaped out of about one hundred, than that so many
perished. One of the victims, Agnes Sadler, seems to
have suffered by her own fault. She escaped in the first
instance, like so many others, but afterwards returned
to fetch her pocket, and was suffocated. Two other of
the victims, viz. Rebecca Cook and Catherine Oates,
were ideots, and Pritchard, the man, was lying sick in
bed. Every exertion, it appears, was used to extin-
guish the fire after it broke out; and Jackson, one of the
beadles of the parish, particularly distinguished himself.
Some of the parish officers present seemed to regret that
any sleeping wards, more. particularly those of the sick
and the helpless, should ever have been placed over an
oakum shop, and they seemed determined that in future
this work should be carried on in a separate building.
After hearing the evidence, the Coroner said, he hoped
this unfortunate event would be a caution to people how
they carried lights amidst such an inflammable material
AS oakum.—The Jury returned a verdict of " Acci-
dental Death by bufning."

JEALOUSY AND Itsvanos.—Yesterday evening, be-
tween the hours of seven and eight, great alarm was
excited in the Borough. From what we could collect,
it appears that a young man in the shop .f a Mr. Sen-
tance, No. 300, had for several years past paid his ad-
dresses to a young woman of considerable beauty, but
of late had deserted her for another object. The young'
woman not brooking this treatment, went into the shop
of is employer, when she presented a pistol loaded with
small shot, which she fired, twelve of which entered his
cheek, from which the blood flowed very copiously.—
Mr. Kent, of the Borough, was sent for, and pronounced
tne wound not mortal. The female, whose age is 24,
was secured, and conveyed in a hackney-coach to the
lack-up house.
