The Death in Princes-street.

INQUEST,

An1 inquest was held this afternoon at the Masonic hotel, before T. M, Philson, Esq., coroner, on the body of' 'a child '.; named Adolphus Alfred Bach, whose sudden, death wrs reported yesterday. Mr Busby was chosen foreman of the jury. Mr Joy, L. L.8.,.. appeared to watch the case on behalf of Mr*, Fish, ;chemist. ■ After ;the body1 had been' viewed, the following evideiKSe was ad-

duced:-^.y.-: :■■''',■' '■.:.;■"■■".;''..■. ~ T -:-■.;- v Saraili1 Ann Bach, sworn,; said : i am the. wife, of Alfred Bach, engineer, residing,m Princes-street. -I ammotEer of the deceased,., whose age was four and. a-half years... He suffered lately from whooping cough and bronchitis. Dr Hooper attended thft child. The deceased 'improved under Dr Hooper's treatment until Thursday, when ; he. : raved very' much', and I sent for Dr M. E. 8,. Nicholson; He' attended immediately; and gave scaroely. any hopes of the recovery of the child. The deceased however improved, and the tim& was' approaching for him "to take his medicine which I gave him at six o'clock. This was Thursday. I gave him one tea spoonful of medicineprescribed by Dr Hooper^, and compounded at Mr Fish's shop. I was" afterwards called ;to deceased by iny1 sister. I found the child in a fit of convulsions, which lasted some time. IsentforDrs. Nicholson and Hooper. They came at once. Dr. Nichol son after examining the child said he was past human skill. Dr Hooper remained four or live hours, and resorted to various remedies. The child however died at abomt two o'clock in the morning. Several of my. relations were present. I believe' deceased died of bronchitis. I feel sure we should have lost him, but I think that his death was hurried by a mistake in,the last dose qf ■.medicine ad ministered. Ido not know what medicine was sprescribed. Dr Hopper told'me,! that his prescription had not been correctly com pounded by the chemist. It was a lad;, em ployed by Mr Fish that dispensed the medicine. My servant fetched the medicine. Elizabeth Tongs, servant to last witness, proved being sent to Mr Fish's, chemist, on Thursday with a prescription, which she deliveredjto Mr Fish's assistant, nam^d Daw-^ aon, w'ho made it up. Saw the medicine given the child., Convulsion* occurred, a qiuww of un hour after, '

Harriet Bach, aunt to deceased, corrobo rated the evidence of the child's mother. j

Walter Dawson, aged 19, assistant to Mr Fish, chemist, was next examined. He stated he had been engaged about eight months in Mr Fish's shop. He made up a prescription on Thursday last for Mrs Bach's child (prescription produced.) The prescription was drawn up in Dr Hooper's hand writing. It contained the follows ■ing ingredients :'— Compound '^piritammonia, spirit of nitre ether, of each a draohm; concentrated infusion of senega, an ounce and a-half; and the dose a teaspoonful every two hours. Witness certified that he made up the medicine strictly in accordance with the terms of the] preemption. He knew the properties of senega, but he did not consider; it a, strong dose or he would not have made it up. Dr Hooper called at Mr Fish's shop between seven and eight on Thursday evening "l oou t the prescription Witness -^ e £ con ; cerning the mcd'- d he informed Mr Fish how h^admadeitup.

THE CARANDINIS.

Titteste popular artists opened last night at the City Hall as we predicted to a crowded house. To hear such a group of distinguished singers, and such a list of attractive melodies as was presented last night within the space of a couple of hours is, we may safely say, altogether, i i>hprecedented. The favorite vocalists were in excellent voice, and the selection evidently gave the greatest pleasure to the vast audience. The sisters Rosina and Fannie Carandini gave first an overture on the piano from " Les Huguenots," a brilliant piece of instrumen tation. A very pretty quartette followed "Farewell to the Forest," by the sisters Rosina and Fannie and Messrs Sherwin and' Gordon. Madame Garandini then appeared and was received with the utmost enthusiasm. She sang the romance "The Forsaken" in"' a' manner* that' showed "to her audiefice that her clear bell-like voice had lost none of. its freshness, and her song was rapturously applauded. Mr Gordon's fine full bass voice washear.lto. great advantage in the well-known des . criptjye' song, the V. Will-o'-the-Wisp ;'"■ and with even better result in the encore, sang "The Wolf," which was enthusiastically demanded. Mr Gordon ought to do great things with so rich and full voice as he possesses. The audience were not slow to recognise his talent last evening, and he at once became a favourite/ Miss -Fannie Carandini sang next the beautiful cavitina, "Una Voce," so admirably as to gain a vehement encore ; and in Molloy's song, " Eijy's Reason," her bright voice and pure style, combined with a pleasant archness of manner, told most effectively. The part song, "Caller Herrin," by the company, was charming. , Miss Eosina Carandini was encored in the pretty song, " Ihe wind that sighs at * dead of night," to her own accompanymont. Even more successful still was her rendering of " Oh, Terence, dear," which she sang Avith the utmost sweetness and delicacy. The quartette by the company, "The Blue Bella of Scotland," was a most successful effort. The first part of the performance concluded with a selection from Offenbach/a (.brilliant opera boiiffe "La Grande Duchesse," in which Miss Fannies sweet, powerful and metallic voice in the favourite "Lp ! here the sabre, * and her graceful and engaging man ner, won considerable applause. After the interval'the company rendered a quintette " Blow, gentle gales," in which the voices blended harmoniously. Miss Eossina Caran dini, who was in brilliant voice, then sang the sweet reverie " I cannot mind my wheel, " which gained an encore , and to which the accomplishedl artiste responded. Miss Eosina also joined Miss Fannie in the,.elegan£ duet ."T'el; Rammenti"'which was sung admirably, the voices of the I ladies blending perfectly. Mr Henry Gordon 'then sang "The Old Sexton" with the ; greatest possible success. Thd song waa vehemently applauded, when Mr Gordon gave " The Friar " with good effpct. A trio from " Fra Diavolo," by Miss Fannie and Messrs Sherwin and Gordon, was most sue ; cessful. The beautiful ballad, " Jessie, the i Flower of Dunblane," by Madame Carandini, J was unquestionably the greatest success of | the evening: It;was(sang as this accomplished ■artist only can sing it, andmetrwith great ac-1 : ceptance from the audience. The concluding 'duet, by the sisters, " Trust her riot," was given in splendid style. We need scarcely say that nothing could have been more i satisfactory .than the: entire • arrangements. ,An entire change in the programme takes 'place to-night.
