CORONER'S INQUEST.

At inquest wok place yesterday evening, at Bartholomew's Hospital,
on the body of Thomas iVebh, who came by his death in the following
manner :

John Condey, No. 48, York-street, near Westminster Bridge, is a
machinist and engineer in Mr. Mainwaring's employment. The de.
ceased was also in the same employment, and, four weeks ago last
Friday, the witness and the deceased were engaged at Mr. Gray's, in
New Bond-street, in placing two pumps in Mr. Gray's well. It was
necessary for the deceased to go down the well, and the witness was
at the winch in the act of seising up the deceased from the well,
when he unfortunately missed the weight upon the rope, and he heard
the deceased fall a distance of forty feet. The witness went instantly
down and found the rod of one of the pumps had entered his arm.—
The witness accompanied him to the above hospital. The deceased fell
into the well by the swivel of the pail giving way, and before going
down, a rope was attached to it and a hook, for greater security. His
fall was purely accidental. The pail and swivel were very much used,
and the deceased ought not to have attempted to come up by such
means; be ought to have held by the rope. The deceased was 29
years of age, and quite sober at the time.
Mr, Wyatt, one of the house surgeons of the hospital, swore that the
deceased was carried there on the 19th ult ; the witness found the left
arm much lacerated, and his left leg fractured. The deceased was going
on well for some time, but a fortnight ago a change took place, and his
constitution could not resist the effects of his wounds, and he died on
the 19th instant.

1 he Jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death."—Deodand on
the pail live shillings.

At Bow-street, on Monday, a gentleman gave an account
of several fires and robberies which had taken place in the
county of Hertford, and hinted his opinion that they were
the work of an individual whom he described as a half-pay
officer who had been driven from Paris during the late revo-
lution, and who had been seen under suspicious circum-
stances in the neighbourhood. The applicant having asked,
wu told that he might, having been sworn in as a special
constable, detain and search any suspicions person ; and as
the individual in question had committed an act of vagrancy,
by begging, he would have done quite right to have detained
him.

THE MAGISTRACY or CARLISLE—Consists, at pre-
sent, of the following gentlemen, vis :
Sir J. D. A. Gilpin, M.hl. aged - - 85 years.
John Heysham, SI.D. . - 77
Thomas Blamire, M.D. - . - 72
John Hodgson, Rag. (Penton) - - 70
Dr. Lowry, the Mayor (not resident) . . 66
Lord Lonsdale, Recorder, ditto . - 72
The Noble Lord last mentioned, who is also the Lord Lieu-
tenant of the County, has made an addition to the above,
which will shortly he announced. The following are said to
be the individuals selected :

Richard Cum, Esq. aged - 77 years.
John Forster, Eaq. - - 70
G. 8. ‘lounaey, 72
Thomas Atkinson, Iraq. - 67
We think his Lordship must meditate the establishment of
a " Council of Ancients," instead of giving us an active
magistracy. Being put on the commission of the peace will,
at this rate, he very soon considered tantamount to being
placed on the superannuated list. One thing is, in our
opinion, quite clear—viz. that his Lordship ought to have
been placed upon it long since. We hope the Lord Chan-
cellor will show him that the selection of magistrates for
Ithis and the neighbouring county can no longer be left with
safety to the peace of the two counties in his hands.—The
contempt he has shown to the Lord Chancellor's recommen-
dation shows that direct interference is absolutely necessary
to compel him to do his duty.—Carlisle Journal.
A very melancholy event took place on Thursday, the
2d instant, at Saltrum, one of the Coast Blockade stations
of the Yorkshire coast, by which Lieutenant Ewen B.
ISutherland, R.N. and two seamen, were drowned, in a
hard gale of wind and a high sea, within MO yards of land.
It appears that, on the morning of the above day, Lied*.
flint Sutherland observed a Dutch galliot standing in for
Saltrum, at low water, when she grounded, and her crew
deserted her. He considered that the crew had sacrificed
vessel and cargo, as she had been with a fair wind within
a few miles of the Tees. Actuated by that zeal and con-
tempt of danger, so characteristic of British seamen, the
Lieutenant determined to board her in the hope of floating
her off by the coming tide of Bow. Accompanied by two
of his men, they got en the poop, and being broadside to
the sea they let go her anchor, in hope that she would swing
round se the tide made, but a heavy sea struck her, mulatto
sunk. The lieutenant and his men clung to the mast, and
were in that awful condition for an hour and a half, when
a tremendous sea carried away the mast, and they were seen
struggling for their lives ; at this moment a bons was seen
to fall on the lieutenant's head, and killed him. Several
vain endeavours were made from the shore to push off beam
to their aid, but the surf ran so high, these filled instantly.
The life-boat and another reached the spot at last from a
different quarter, but too late. Lieutenant Sutherland was
the third non of the late Capt. G. S. Sutherland, of Ithives,
Ross-shire, and had served for sixteen years as a midship-
man, in the West Indies, South and North America, and.
lastly, in Africa, where he was promoted to the Esk, sad
placed on half-pay. He has left a widow and two children,
the eldest not two years old, and the youngest not quit.
three months.
