THE IRONMASTERS' MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM,
THURSDAY.—The usual quarterly meeting of the iron-

prices agreed to at the last meeting were fully maintained
at the present. The general impression amongst the
great makers seemed to be, that there had been an at-

demand for iron. .'ders from Belgium wer

years of age. The inhalation was continued for a dura-

TIIE HYDROPATHIC SYSTEM. —On Friday an inquest
'as held, at Enfield, near London, on the body of Martha
Hobbs, aged 20, whose death was alleged to have taken
place through hydropathic treatment. Eliza Ronsell,
servant to Mr. Swanwick, Chase Sida, Enfield, said the
deceased was in the same service up to Tuesday week.
She had not been in good health since last September.
She was able to go about her work till last Monday fort-
night, when she complained that she had a cold. On
Monday she was in a state of delirium. On the following
day she was worse. The next day she was removed to
her aunt's, a Mrs. Betts, and erysipelas made its appear-
ance on her face and the side of her head. She took hy.
dropathic remedies, such as putting on a night cap which
was wet with tepid water, and kept so day and night.
Dr. Lovell, attended deceased. The evidence of a sur-
geon who made a post mortem examination, went to
prove that the immediate cause of death was inflamation
of the pericardium. The treatment which deceased re-
ceived was most injudicious. The Coroner summed up
the evidence, when the jury, after about two hours' con-
sultation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Dr
Lovell as principal, and Mrs. Bell as accessory. The
inquiry lasted seven hours.—John Bull.
