patroness of the club : the yachts to assemble off New

neas value, and Purse of 50 guineas added is fixed for the

BODY FOUND IN THE ItivEu.—An inquest was held on
Saturday, before the borough coroner, on view of the
body of James Henning, a Custom-house officer, aged 26.
On the morning of Friday last, a workman employed
at Messrs. Vernon and Co.'s building yard, near the
Dingle, saw the body floating in the river, and got a
police officer, who had it conveyed to Booth's public-
house, Wellington-road. The sum of XI Bs. lOd was
found in his pocket. It was found that deceased lived in
Sillitoe's Buildings, Chesterfield-street. On Thursday
night he went out in liquor, with another person, with
whom he parted—saying he was going on board a vessel
called the Eliza Morrison, lying in the Salthouse Dock.—
Verdict, " Found drowned."

MORE, TRICKS OF IRISH PAUPERS.—Perhaps the most
cunning of the many tricks resorted to by those miserable
creatures from the other side of the Channel, who at pre-
sent infest our thoroughfares, was revealed on Friday at
the parish office. An Irishman applied at this office for
the requisite ticket to insure a free passage back to his
native country'; his request was about to be complied
with, when a countryman, impelled doubtless by a friendly
feeling, informed Mr. Evans, that the applicant had con-
cealed five shillings and sixpence between the soles of his
shoe at the instep. The shoe was examined, but pre-
sented no appearance that could indicate such a conceal-
ment. Upon dividing the sole, however, the money was
found snugly deposited between the soles and the part re-
ferred to. The man's passage was paid out of his hoard,
and the balance restored to him. Four shillings were
found stitched beneath a button hole in the coat of a man
who made a similar application at the parish office last
week.

ACCIDENT AT THE NEW NORTH DOCKS On Satur-
day, an inquest was held in the Coroner's Court, Lord-
street, on view of the body of James Robinson, aged 35
years. Deceased was employed at the North Graving
Docks, conveying stones to the masons. The stones were
removed by means of a four-wheeled carriage which ran
on two lines of balks, the length of the dock. The two
front wheels worked on a pivot, so as to allow the carriage
to turn in any direction. There was nothing attached
either to the wheels of the carriage or the balks to pre-
vent the latter from falling off. The carriage is pushed

along by a man at each wheel. While thus-removing a
stone, the two smaller wheels got off the balks, and the
deceased and another man fell down into the dock. De-
ceased was taken up insensible, and bleeding from the
nose and mouth. He was taken to the Northern Hospital,
where he died soon afterwards. Two of the witnesses
were of opinion that there ought to be something to keep
the wheels upon the balks ; for if the man at. one side
pushed harder than he at the other, the wheels were liable
to be thrown off. A foreman of the works considered
that no such operations were without danger ; but that if

he men were careft

or no accidents would occur
