CORONER'S INQUESTS.

It was yesterday stated, that Mrs. Leniaire was
in a dangerous state, and in cousequeuce of a part
of oparapet haring fallen ou her head in Rupert-
street, that a consultation of surgeons was held. It
was found necessary by Mr. WilliOtl, of Wind-
rnill-street, to open the head, and the operation
wu performed on Monday afternoon, by himself'
and two other gentlemen, Wheu the full extent of
the fractures was discovered, and all hopes of life
.vanished. There were several fractures, but one
on the side of the head was three inches deep,
which had severed the skull in several places, • and
lat out part of the brains. The unfortunate wo-
man was lost to all feeling from the tithe of tltcsad
accident until this operation, which convulsed her
whole frame. She survived only half an hour af.
ter the operation.
Mr. lionosora, the Coroner, held au Inquest on
the body, at the house of her husband, yesterday.
The evidence as to the accident, afforded nothing
in addition to what we have stated. Mr. Lemaird
had, just before the accident, let go the arm of
the deceased, to pass by some people more readily.
The verdict of the Jury, it need not be stated,
was Accidental Death.
Another Inquisition was taken on the body of
Miss Sigel', who was killed by a chimney falling
on her in Piccadilly ; and another on the body of
Margaret Done, a pour woman, who was killed
in a similar manner in Duke-street.

Monday morning si well-dreised %woman, near
Fish-street-hill, attracted the attention of the
passengers by her shrieks and lamentations. On
approaching her, it was found that her infant,
which she had taken out for the benefit of the air,
had expired in her arms.
HORRID M u nom—Sunday se'nnight, about
midnight, a number of ruffians went to the house
of Tim. Collins, at Balligarrait, five miles (ruin
Waterford. On demanding admittance, Collins
opened the door, and was instantly shot through
the heart—the villains then fired at his two bro.
thers, then in bed, both of whom they wounded,
one it is' feared mortally, the other it is hoped
will recover. They them set fire to the cabin,
after locking the door. The two brothers suc-
ceedee in effecting their escape, but, dreadful to
ielate, a fine young woman perished iu the flames.
The unfortunate family were all asleep on their.
rival of the murderers, and from the darkness and'
confusion attending the surprise, the survivors
can furnish no clue to a discovery of the perpetra.
tors. Collins some time since receited notice to
quit his farm, and his non-compliance, it Is sup.
posed, has ttecasioued the horrible catastrophes
