demand for Whole Tickets and the higher description of Shares
has exceeded all former precedent, and it is observed, many
applications are made for Four similar Shares of different

PEDP.STAIANISM.—ThUrAIIey week. Lloyd, the pedestrian,
telinquished his task, of walking 75 miles (or three successive
-days, on the road from Coventry to Warwick, having only
performed on that day half the required distance.--‘
On Wednesday he tray-lied only sixty five miles,-
-.%t Coventry, on Tuesday, he undertook to pick up
with his mouth three hundred stones, placed a yard from each
other, being a distance of 61 miles, in eight hours, and accom-
plished the task 31 minutes within the given time. The pedes-

the 1:111ngton road; and accomplished his task, notwithstand•
ing the bad state of the road and streets, with apparent east,
full half an hour within the appointed time. A portion of his
passage being through the centre of the town, end the day of
the week a consecrated one among the working class, there
were more saints to witness his exploit than ever yet attended
any meeting of the Vice Suppression Society : and they were
as usefully and religiously engaged too.—(Stanyird News.)
SINGUL OCCU R RENCE.—A few days ago a small bird flew
down a long pascage, and entered a drawiug room in Carter
Gate, Newark, where, whilst it was flittering at the window
facing the street. A large hawk instantly pounced upon it with
such fo,ce, that it broke the glass to atoms and fell on the
floor. The little bird made its escape through the opening, and
just as the owner had reached the outside, and was in the act
of stooping to secure the flee k,;t recovered itself from the fall,
took wing and was soon out of sight. --(Boston Gazette.)

SUDDEN DEATH, BY INTOXICATION.

CARLOW, JAN. 29.—A Coroner's Inquest was held oft'
Sunday last, by J. Byrn, Esq. Coroner, on the body of
John Kehoe, slater, who bad died on the previous
night, in consequence of drinking a (pawky of ardent
spirits.
It appeared, in evidence, that the deceased had worked
(hiring the forenoon of the day on which he died, and hay-
ing remained for a short time unoccupied, he went to the
house of a respectable grocer, Mr. Timmin, for the purpose
of doing some work for that gentleman.

A boy ie the service of Mr. Timmin, about 16 years of
age, stated that he had been employed to remove Spirits
from a large vessel into small vessels ; that Kehoe was
present while he was thus employed : and that having taken
advantage of his, the boy 1, ah.enee from the place where.
the spirit casks were placed. Kehee had dipped a toadish
into an o?en vessel, and by stopping its neck with his
finger, had succeeded in conveying to his snnetb, an&
swallowing nearly as much spirits as the tundisb could.
contain.

The hov further stated, that on his return to the spot
where Kehoe had been standing, he perceived him making
use of the faintish in the way before mentioned, and he im-
mediately called the foreman, who turned Keboe out of the
premises.
It appeared, in evidence, that the deceased, shortly after
drinking the spirits, and after being turned out of Mr.
Timmin s place, entered tg‘e shop of a neighbouring baker,
where he had remained only a short time, when he found.
himself so much affected by the spirits, as to be unable to
proceed to his own house. It appeared that he was carried
from thence to his cabin by some humane persons, after
having first ejected from his s•omaclt a quantity of liquid.
auppos2tl to be part of the whiskey he bad drank. And it
appeared that Surgeon Byrn hadi promptly and hal-
Inanely administered some remedies to him without effect.
Although sufficient evidence was given to satisfy the Ju-
ry that "be came by his death in consequence of having
drank a quantity of ardent spirits, obtained by force ;" yet
souse of them, particularly Mr. S. Hon►, did not seen
to feel satisfied with the Coroner for his refusing to
accede to a request made for the calling in of more wit•
nesse,.

The object of the Jurors was to ascertain whether the
deceased had drank any spirits on that day previous to
what he had drank at '.lr. 'fittimin's, as it had been report-
ed that be had made a wager that he would on that day
drink a certain quantity of whiskey ; and Mr. Hone seem-
ed particularly desirous to ascertain whether the report
was well founded, as he said it would, if true, have been a
fit occasion for a public expression of horror at such beast-
ly and unchristian conduct.
The verdict of the Coroner's Jary was—" That he came
by his death in consequence of having drank a quantity of
ardent spirits, obtained by force."—(Carlow Morning
post.)

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.-00 Friday week, a lad.
abont IS years of age, and who said his name was Conry,
was found ill of Typhus fever, in an unroofed bowie, near
Mohill. From the infectious nature of his complaint, and
being an entire stranger in the country, none of the inha-
bitants would admit him into their houses,and the Church-
warden being apprised of the circumstance, bad one of
those huts, into which poor people in fever are generally
put, erected, and removed him to it. Drink and suck
nourishment as was necessary, was brought to him by the
neighbouring people, one of whom, on his complaining of
cold, on Saturday evening, lighted a tire ;n the but, which
unfortunately communicated in the night .o the straw sith
which it was covered, and the unfortunate young man
was burned to death.—(Roscommon and Ltitrent Gazelle.)
