On Monday morning last , whilst sitting at breakfast with tho cook and t < ro honscmaids , another female servant came into the room and said , "Master is very bad , and well he might be , for the stuff they have sent him to take almost choked him , as he was twenty minutes in taking it .

The bottle had been three parts filled ; when he went into the room , it was quite empty . Mrs . Graham , who was in bed with the deceased , was instantly made acquainted
with the fact , and ordered Mr . English to bo sent for . He attended with the itomach-pump , but the deceased became insensible , and died in four hours afterwards . The lotion had been used on the Sunday , and left by witness on tho dressing table , near the medicine . It was labelled , with every direction on the label foruse .

"

It appeared from the evidence that tho deceased was in the employ of Messrs . Seward and Co ., engineers , Millwall , Poplar . On Tuesday last he was engaged with several other labourers in raising a brassscrew propeller , weighing upwards of sis tons , from one part of the factory to another . They had succeeded in raising it four feet from the ground by means of the crane , when the chain suddenly broke , and tho ponderous mass fell with great violence , striking the deceased on the back . He instantly fell , and when raised , life was found to bquite extinct . Death must have been instantaneous . Verdict— " Accidental Death . "

When sent for she found the deceased asleep , and , though in great danger from hemorrhage , she left the house , and though again sent for , did not return , as t-he was attending another case . The j ury returned the following special verdict : — " That the deceased died in childbirth , and we , the jury , are of opinion that tho female , Mrs .

FIRES . Destructive Fire at CLERKENwatt .. —On Sunday morning last , at a few minutes past three o'clock , a fire , which was not extinguished until a deal of property was consumed , broke out at No . 22 , AmweUstreot , Clerkenwell . in the occupation of Mr . L . Tallis , publisher . It commenced in the lower part of the house , and was discovered by the police-constable on the heat . An instant alarm was given , and after a deal of trouble the inmates were aroused , and they happily effected their escape in safety . Fire in St . Katiierine ' s Dock . —On Monday afternoun , between one and two o'clock , tbe ship China , Captain D . Ferguson , lying in St . Katiierine's Deck ,
was discovered to be on hre . The vessel was lying alongside of the C warehouses , and for some time considerable alarm prevailed , lest the flames should extend .. to the surrounding property . The alarm having been given , in the space of a few minutes a number of the dock company's servants boarded the vessel , when they found the cook-house in flames , and part of the deck biirnim : furiously . A general turn out of the London Brigade engines took place , but by the time they reached the scene the dock company's men had succeeded in getting the fire extinguished . Tho vessel was insured . It appears that the outbreak was occasioned by some plumbers having left their fire unprotected whilst they went to dinner .
Destructive Fire in Drurv Lane . —On Tuesday evening , about seven o ' clock , a serious fire broke ont in the premises number « d 26 , Brownlow-street , Drury-lane , occupied conjointly by Mr . Lovell , a coach-carvcr , a Mr . Bickerton , and a female named Warren . It appears that whilst one of the occupiers was passing a \ wg th « wksovaI flaov hct attention v « as directed by hearing a loud crackling noise from the back room first floor . The moment she opened the door she found flamei bursting forth from the apartment . Sho immediately gave an alarm , and the parties in the first and second stories succeeded in rtislting down the stairs , and effected a safe retreat . Mrs . Warren , however , who tenanted the top floor , was not so fortunate , for the flames had gained such
a strong hold of the staircase that she was unable to descend . Finding that all escape by the usual means was cut < ff , the poor creature retraced her steps and made her appearance , at the front window supplicating the crowd to assist her . Sho had not been in that situation many minutes when tho flames entered her room , and she got upon tho window-sill and was about to precipitate herself to the ground The parties cried out to her not to throw herself out , and they would fetch a ladder . Some few minute * elapsed " before one could bo procured , during which time the female was seen hanging from the ledge oi the window . On placing tho ladder in front of the
building , it was found to be only long enough to reach tho second floor . A drayman courageously mounted , through volumes of smoke , and caught Mrs . Warren in his arms , and then carried her down in safety . In a very brief period an engine from Messrs . Combe ' s brewery arrived , and was followed by others . The supply of water was at first deficient , and it was half-past eight before tho flames could be conquered . By that period that portion of the house where the fire began was burnt out , and the second and third floors , together with the roof , were destroyed , and what remained of the house was extensively damaged .

Between ton and eleven o ' clock a loud explosion was heard , and the whole of tho windows , shop front , doors , and stockin-trado , belonging to Mr . Farebrother , general dealer , of No . 1 , Randall's-buildings , were hurled into the street ; the ceilings and rafters were blown down , the stairs loosened , and tho house , from tho bottom to the top , most extensively injured , so that
it was expected to fall . It was well known that at that tima Mr . Farebrother , his wife , and three children , wore in the premises , and it was feared that a serious loss of life had taken place . Some of the neighbours ventured into tho ruins , where they found Mr . Farebrother lying on his back in the parlour , covered with rubbish , and almost speechless . A little further off they found his wife with an infant in hor arms , lying amidst a heap of broken chairs and tables . They were all got out , when it was ascertained that the throe were severely bruised . Two children sleeping in the upper floor wore forced out of bed , and were also injured , but not serious . On entering the first floor , a chest of drawers was found torn into a thousand pieces , chairs and tables ,
bedsteads , and other articles of furniture , were broken to fragments , and were lying about the rooms . Tho party wall between No . 1 and No . 10 in the buildings was rent in twain , so that it became apparent the damage done was not confined to one house . As soon as the last-mentioned building was entered , Mr . Johnson , the occupier , was found lying in the passage , he having been hurled from the top landing by the shock down stairs . Sundry articles of furniture were demolished , and the huuse injured . As soon as Mr . Farebrother recovered , he stated , that for som « days ho had experienced a strong smell ot gas , and had given notice of such to the gas company , but no person had been sent to look after the laid down in the road
pipes that ara , rrora a careful inspection since made , it has been ascertained that one of the mains had become leaky , and the gas having escaped had entered the premises of Mr . Farebrother , and hence the disaster . Robbery by a Lodoer—On the 7 th . instant , a young man , who had only a lew days previously arrived from Ostend , absconded from his lodgings at the King ' s Arms public-house , Old Cumpton-street , Soho , taking with him a box containg £ 80 Bank ef England notes , 800 francs in gold and silver , including one SO franc Sardinian piece , and several 40 franc French pieces , which were tied up in a leathern bag , tbe property ot Antoine Mittleholzer , another lodger .

Inhalation Of Gases In Surgery. The Foll...
INHALATION OF GASES IN SURGERY . The following letter has been addressed by D » , Wells-the first discoverer of the scientific appliestion of intoxication as the means of rendering the body insensible to pain—to Galigndni . ¦ — As you have recently published an extract from tho Boston Medical and SurgicalJournal , which recognizes me as the discoverer of tbe happy effects produced by the inhalation of exhilarating gas or vapour for the performance of surgical operations , I will now offer some suggestion fn reference to this subject . Reasoning from analogy , I was led to believe that surgical operations might be performed without pain by fhefact tint an ind ' tvidual when much excited from ordinary causes may
receive severe wounds without manifesting tho least patn : —as for instance , the man who is engaged in combat may have a limb severed from bis body , after which he testi 6 es that it was attended with no pain at the time ; and « o the man who isinfoxicated with spirituous liquor may be treated severely without his manifesting pain , and his frame seems in this state to be more tenacious of life than under ordinary circumstances . By these facts I was led to inquire if tha same result would not follow by the inhalation of some exhilarating gas , the effects of which would ( pass off immediately , leaving th * sjstcm none the worse for its use . I accordingly procures some nitrous oxide gas , resolving to make the first experiment on myself by having a tooth extracted ; which was done without any painful sensations , I then performed the
same operation for twelve or fifteen others , with the like results . This was in November , 1 £ ^ 4 . Being a resident of Hartford Con . ( U . S . ) , I proceeded to Boston the following month ( December ) , in order to present my discovery to the medical faculty—first making it known to Drs . Warren , Hayward , Jackson , and Morton ; the two last of whom subsequently published the same , without mention of our conference . Since this discovery was first made , [ have administered nitrous oxide gas and tho vapour of ether to about fifty patients : —my operations having been limited to this small number in consequence of a protracted illness which immediately ensued on my return home from Boston , in January , 1845 . Much depends on thestateofmindofthe patient during tho inhalation of gas or vapour . If the individual takes it with a
determination to submit to a sugical operation , he has no disposition to exert the muscular system ; whereas , under other circumstances , it seems impossible to restrain him from over exertion—he becomes parfeetly uncontrollable . It is well to instruct all patients of this fact before the inhalation takes place . The temperament and physical condition of the patient should be well marked before ndministering the vapour of gther . Persons whose lungs are much affected should not bo permitted to inhale this vapour—as serious injuries have resulted from it in such cases . Nitrous oxide gas or protoxide of nitrogen is much less liable to do injury , and is more agreeable to inhale , producing at the same time equal insensibility to all pain , ful sensations . It may be taken without the least inconvenience by those who become choked almost to strangulation with ether . In fact , I have never seen or heard of a single instance where this gas has proved in the least
detrimental . This discovery does not consist in the use of any one specified gas or vapour : for anything which causes a certain degree of nervous excitement is all that is requisite to produce insensibility to pain . Consequr'nt / y , tho only question to be settled is , which exhilarating agent is least likely to injure the system ? The less atmospheric sir admitted into the lungs with any gas or vapour the better—tho moro satisfactory will be the result of the operation . Those who have been accustomed to use much intoxicating beverage cannot be easily affected in this manner . With cases of dislocated joints , the exhilarating gas operates like a charm . All the muscles become relaxed ; and but a very little effort will serve to replace the limb in its socket : and while the aspiration is being performed the muscles do not contract as when in the natural state , but are as easily managed as those of a corpse .

A GOOD BEGINNING . In the Lady ' s A 6 tw /> o ;« r ( rccently started ) of the Cth inst ., we find the following , which we quote , as ? evidencing , through the increasing circulation of that paper , that even the aristocratic and " fashionable " among Englishwomen are beginning to listen to and bear with the voice of truth .
BREAD LAW . In the Eoisshire Advertiser we find a statement to the effect , that a Mr . Colin Munro , of Dingwall , intending to ship about two hundred bolls of oatmeal for the west coast , at Fowlis , despatched some carts with about fifty bolls . The carts no sooner appeared , however , than the people collected , the shipment was stopped , and the carts sent back to Dingwall . There were then about one thousand bolls on board , which bad been purchased at Portsoy . * # * The people had kindled a large fire on the beach , in order to watch all night , in ca ^ e further shipments should bo attempted . The people were in the right . Some cool and calculating political economist with wellfilled breeches pockets , shakes his head and quotes Adam Smith andMaculloch , and expatiates learnedly
on the laws of commerce . Some lord of acres , who is also a colonel of militia , knits his brows , and argues ihe propriety of assuming an incipient riot , and of intervention by law of arms . Some legal authority , with about half the wisdom requisite to form a county magistrate , can see only the naked fact of opposition to the laws of the realm , and the imperious as well as the imperial necessity for exercising the utmost rigour of the same , as a punishment contingent thereto . Now , this is all very well in its way ; but , after all , it is mere arm-chair law before a good fire , and over a half-emptied decanter of madeira . Gentlemen , there is such a thing as Bread Law , which stands not upon trifles such as you would resuscitate from tho dead bones of conventional rule .
Its philosophy extends only from the hand to the mouth ; and one of its allegations is this , that your own philosophy extends no further ! Therefore , do as you would be done by ; consult tho happiness ol the greatest number ; and remember that if , with hollow cheeks and emaciitted bodies , the faminewithered multitude asserts tho Law op Bread to be paramount , and quietly inculcates the robbery that would take it out of their grasp , and the blood-money that would enrich its trafficker , —rem-mber , we say , that it is very , very questionable , whether such incquality and such distress should exist at all ; and , still less so , whether you yourselves would act otherwise , or with half the forbearance , under similar circumstances !

DESPERATE COMBAT ON BOARD AN EMIGRANT SHIP DURING A TYPHOON . — THIRTY-FIVE LIVES LOST .
Desperate Combat On Board An Emigrant Sh...
On Wednesday last , the barque Sophia Fraser , Captain M'Kellar , belonging to Singapore , arrived here , having experienced a typhoon in the passage from Amoy to Singapore . The typhoon commenced on the 26 th of November , when about in Iat . 16 deg . 13 N ., and long . 112 deg . 26 E . During the hurricane a fray occurred amongst the Chisese passengers , which terminated in more than thirty of their number being killed , and many wounded . The fray originated , we believe , between two Chinese belonging to different villages . The cause in dispute was espoused by others , which led to blows , and a sad loss of life . This occurred in tho midst of the gale , when tho attention of the captain and his officers was directed to securing the safety of the vessel . The wholesale manslaughter which occurred among
the Chinese passengers is not perhaps cognizable by our laws , as the flagitious acts of barbarity were committed on the high seas , by subjects of tho Emperor of China , on their fellow-countrymen . It is , however , very lamentable to notice the inhuman proceedings of the Chinese coolies , all of whom who escaped death were more or less injured , and some of their number are now in the hospital . The shocking catastrophe has been inquired into by the p olice authorities here . From the evidenco taken before the sitting magistrate , it would appear that 310 Chinese eoolies were shipped at Amey for Penang . On mustering tho Chinese , on the arrival of the ] vessels at Singapore , it was found that no more than 273 remained , the mortality therefore was 35 ; four only } of whom died from natural causes . ' The sufferings of tho coolie passengers , crowded together and without food , were fearful ; in their
agonies they appear to have become desperate , and to have fallen upon each other . The circumstances attending the heartrending affair require a most searching investigate n , with the view of preventing a recurrence of such shocking scenes as were perpetrated ( hiring the four days , when all communication from the deck with the people below was cut oft . Captain M'Kellar appears to have done all that was in his power ; his attention being directed to the safety of the vessel , during a severe typhoon , with a fearful sea running at 'the time , which washed over the vessel repeatedly . threatening imtant destruction . It certainly appears highly culpable on the part of the Chinese supercargo in failing to supply the coolies with dry rice : there being neither means nor opportunities for cooking , some of the poor wretches aro affirmed to have expired from positive inanition , which a supply of dry grain would have prevented . — Singapore Paper , Nov . 11 .

Removal Of Portion Of The Inwt-N Jaw* Du...
REMOVAL OF PORTION OF THE Inwt-n JAW * DURING THE APPLICATION n £ ETHER . U * An operation of a formidable nature was perforntoi on Wednesday , at the Devonport workhouse In- M Laity , the necessity for which resulted from the dee of a considerable portion of the lower jait bono •' a person named Riley , an inmate of the houBe ' f !' nearly two years , in consequence of this loattaom ! though fortunately rare disease . Sereral consult * tions of the principal surgeons in the neighhom-hoM having been previously held , a large number * 1 assembled at tho time appointed , and the question . ! the tiso of ether being discussed , its employment w > decided on , and , as the result will show , with mJ perfect success .
Tbe operation itself being necessarily tcdionfrom the great importance of the parts to be cut through , it was thought by some that the transit insensibility resulting from the ether would scarcely bear any relation to the time required in the opera . tion , but in this respect there was nothing to regret ' , The incision through the face was commenced alter ' inhalation had been continued for about four or fi ^ minutes , and although the patient was at onconpnar . entlv under the influence of certain , perhaps unplea .
sant impressions , it was soon evident that they had no reference whatever to the operation in hand , ftr while the parts wore being dissected out he assume ^ a blustering though scarcely complaining tone , whiclt his subsequent reflections fully explained : " I ' m q good a man as you , and I'll try it if you like b > a gallon of beer ; you are not going to humbug mo ;" and other expressions of the elite of his class , caused some smiling and no little amusement , among tliosj who reflected what such an operation would harj been " in the olden time , "
The bone was removed , the poor fellow still ram . Wing in his notions , but protesting that he bad beej . fighting ; however , " he gave the fellow as good as h , brnught , " and was evidently satisfied that i : e had come off best man in the affair . He was then shown tho bone , when his astonishment was complete . H , declared that , but for the word of all those gentlemen ho could not believe it . ' On further recovering , and being questions seriously as to his sensations , he stated that he ft ! i no pain whatever from the cutting of his face ; thil he was not aware of the removal of the bone , which he could scarcely believe ever belonged to him , and that his idea was that he had been engaged in a squabble , in which he had come off victorious . \\ consider this one of the most satisfactory cases hitherto recorded , and we sincerely hope it winter . minate favourably .
