INQUEST ON THE BODY OF A NEW-
CHILD.—An inquest was het
Curry, on view of the body of

Al
enclosed in a box, to St.

been taken by two femai,
John's Churchyard, and left with the se,
was traced to be a lodger in a house in Milk•street, where
she had represented herself as a widow. It appeared that
She bad been attended by a midwife, that the child had
been born alive, and bad been well attended to, but was
seized with convulsions, which continued until its death.
The surgeon who examined the body could not account
for death. Verdict—" Found dead in the churchyard,
but the cause of death unknown."
PURIFICATION or GAS.—Mr; Johnston's patent for
the abscription of the ammoniacal, hydro-sulphuric, and
hydro-cyanic vapours, by means of sulphate of iron, in
the dry way, or with barely sufficient moisture for the
water of crystallization necessary in the interchange and
formation of the salts, has been tried at the Horseferry-
road station of the Chartered Gas Company. Besides
the purification, and the saving of 30 per cent. of lime
(at the greater, though redeemed expence, of sulphate of
iron, we presume) by this new mode of treatment, other
alleged advantages, consequent on its adoption, are reduc-
tion of the gross pressure of the liquid mode by 40 to 50
per cent., and the equivalent diminution of the consequent
loss ; besides the acquisition of the valuable products.—

SUDDEN DRATTlS.—Yesterday, an inquest was held be-
fore Mr. Curry, touching the death of Mary Rollinson,
aged sixty-four. Deceased, who lived in Warwick •street,
went to bed well on Thursday night, and was found dead
next morning. She bad been subject to fits, and it ap-
peared from an examination of the body, had died from
asphyxia. Verdict accordingly.—Also, on view of the
body of Ann Muchale, aged seventy-three years. Oa
Friday night, she went to bed, apparently in better health
than for some time previous. She was an early riser, and
as she did not appear at her usual hour, she was called,
but no answer was given, and she was found to be quite
dead. Mr. Wood, surgeon, made the post morlem exami-
nation, and found she had died from a peculiar disorder
of the bowels.

north-west against her. At a quarter to one was abreast
violence, till it blew a perfect hurricane. Off the Ormes-
head at half-pas- four, when the gale' if anything, increas-
ed, and the sea was terrific, equal, is the opinion of a
fellow passenger (a nautical man), to any in the Atlantic.
Stil this beautiful, and as she has proved herself, hard
weather boat, battled with the wind and waves most gal-
lantly, riding like a duck over seas that must have swamped
a smaller and less powerful boat. And though she had
to go round Puffin island, through the Sound, and being
then dark, went up the straits at half speed, completing
her passage to the Bridge in eight hours; a passage un-
equalled when the severity of the gale is considered. To
show, which it need only be mentioned, that on that day
the Mersey steamer put back to Liverpool, and the Queen
Victoria to the Menai Bridge, through stress of weather;
both being powerful boats, bound to Dublin. Too much
praise cannot be awarded to the vessel's commander,
Capt. Warren, for the seamanlike manner in which the
vessel was managed, and his attention to the passengers.
SUDDEN DEATH ON BOARD CLlP.—Yesterday an
inquest was held before the borough coroner, on view of
the body of Patrick Coyle, an apprentice on board the
schooner Jane Emily Hudson, now lying in the George's
dock. On Sunday morning deceased took his breakfast
on board, and afterwards washed the tea-things. He then
appeared to be quite well, and did not complain of any_
thing ailing him. In about an hour afterwards, he was
found lying on his back, close to the combings of the
after hatchway, and quite insensible. He,died in about a
quarter of an hour afterwards. Mr. Thomas Bradshaw,
surgeon, made a post mortem examination, and stated
that death was caused by extensive disease of the heart,
of considerable standing.—Verdict accordingly, " Death
from natural causes."
SEAMAN'S WAGES CASE.—At the Police-court, yes-
terday, Archibald Brown, second mate of the ship Duke
of York, claimed a balance of wages alleged to be due to
him for his services on a voyage recently completed from,
incurred in 'another vessel, belonging to the same parties,

this matter ought to have been brought forward and set-

balance claimed—n,mely, £l7 9s. Bd.
