INHUMANITY.  THE BODY OF A HULL SUICIDE RECOVERED. An inquest was held on Saturday at Whitton, by Coroner oldman, of Gaiusbro% on the body of Jama Dalton, of Beverley, who was a clerk in the office of Mr. Pettingell, solicitor, Hull. The body, which presented a shocking appearance, was identified by Mr. J. Sands, deceased's brother-in-law, who last saw him alive on the 24th of September. It was stated that about that date deceased Jumped overboard from one of the New Holland steam packets when in the middle of the Humber, but the only person who witnessed the act being at sea, the coroner directed the jury to find an open verdict, in order that, should necessity arise, the Inquiry might be re-opened at any future time. The relatives of the deceased, who were present at the inquest, expressed great dissatisfaction at the inhuman manner in which the corpse had been treated. It appears that the body was found floating in the Humber on Friday by the captain of a steam tug, which is said to be owned by Dyson and Co, coal merchants, Bull. The captain sent a man (who gave the Dame Of Freston) in a boat to secure the body, which he accordingly did, and then sculled to shore with the body, tied it to a stake (uear Whitton), and left it. A Mr. Barley happened to see the occurrence, otherwise, from the peculiarly isolated character of the district, the body might have lain there for weeks undiscovered. As It was, although information was conveyed to several policemen in the neighbourhood, they declined to inters (ere, and the corpse was left thus exposed till after the inquest. When going to view the body, both corona and jurymen were compelh d to wade almost knee deep through mud and warp. The Coroner stated that he should represent the case to the Chief Constable of the county, as he considered the conduct of the inhabitsOs generally, and of the policemen in particular, most inhuman. Nothing was found on the body excepting third class pass between Beverley and Hull, and a scarf pin, and it was by the latter mainly that the body WU Identified, the whole of the features having disappeared.  Mr. George Smith's collections are expected to arrive very shortly. Arrangements have been made for cofl. tinning the excavations. Captain Shaw is new work on "Fire Protection' will be published in a few days. "The object," Ws the author, 'is to convey to those interested in the business of extinguishing fires the necessary informa• lion con,rning the organisation, training, and duties of firemen, and all the appliances which they have, or °unlit to have in use; comprising, in a cmd-med and rnwhodised form, the principal portions of the coats! of instruction which I have employed for many yew.  Science has had a windfall in Denmark, such es rarely happens even in I:trger and richer countries. A brewer of the name of Jacobsen has set apart the sun of one million crowns (about £1;0,000), one-half of the interest of which is to be applied in continuing the chetnico-physiolocical laboratory established by him connection with his brewery. The other half is in. tench.d to promote the study of, tbe natural scieneet4 mathematics, philosophy, history, and languages. The foundation is called the " Carlsberger Fond," afterthe name of Mr. Jacobsen's brewery.  Mu.
