sUsITATEn SEAMAN WHO WAS DEEMED OUT OF
DANGER.
Especial to the Commercially
NEW CASTLE, Sept 10.
At o'clock. p NJ. yesterday, the schooner
Light Of he East, displaying her flag at half
mast, dropped anchor in the river opposite Jefft r
sons wharf. Soon afterward her commanded,
Capt. Parker came ashore, bringing the body of
VIM. Black, seaman, who had died on board
the schooner suddenly and under circumstances
to render an investigation OF the case proper,
and, perhaps necessary. Coroner Winslow be-
ing informed OF the above facts, came over to
New Castle and az quickly as possible summoned
Jury of inquest. DR.. Maxwell was called upon
to aid in the investigation in his professional ca
pacity.
The following in an epitome of the testimony :
Whilst the schooner was at her wharf in Phila-
adelphia on Tuesday, Black and another seaman
went bathing in the river The former
jumped from the bow of the vessel into the
water and remained under the surface
30 long that the fears of his com
panions were excited, lest an accident had beta :
len him. He searched for Black Immediately with
the boat hook, and fastened it in his clothing,
for Black had on his shirt and pants, when with
the assistance OF the mate he lifted him to the
surface and then upon the deck OF the schooner.
Black was apparently dead, but efforts at restor-
alton having been begun, respirat an was, in a
few minutes, restored, physician was sum-
moned, who called second time and proDounc-
ed the man out of danger and able to go to aea.
His breathing however, continued difficult, and
at IL o'clock the next Jay he died.
During the interval between resuscitation and
death Black WAS able to convene and explained
that when he leaped overheard ne got fastened
in the mud, and in that situation took of his
pants, at which time he lost his consciousness.
Therel were no bruises Tor marks Of injury
of any kind on the body, except that
the face and upper portion were
ion, from the appearance of the corpse and the
testimony in the case, that death was the result
of congestion of the lungs and poii on ng of the
blood from retained pulmonary exhalation.
The verdict of the jury was "Death from the
effects of remaining under the water too long"

The Carlist faction in Spain has acquired
strength and boldness in the last few
weeks. The fall of Cuenca was an i'm
portant success to them, gained after
brave fighting on both sides, followed by
sack and butchery. Don Carlos has now
issued manifesto, in which he guaran.
tees religious liberation, engages not to
disturb the sales of church property at
present completed, and promises repre-
sentative but not revolutionary govern
ment, the restoration of the finances, and
liberty as far as it is consistent with order.
This simply means that his will shall be
supreme. his word law The Spaniards
cannot be deceived by such document,
but the republicans of late appear to have
lost heart and vigor.
