Grattan foreman. The jury having vieAved the body, the folioAving e\'ipence Avas adduced. Henry Swindley de]iosed that he Avas second unite on the s.s. Southern Cross now lying at A.S.P., Company's T, saw the body of deceased floating alongside about seven a'clock this morning. He called tAvo of the creAV, got a boat and secured it, and took it to the waterman's steps, and hauled it over to the waterpolicc. The body Avas Aery much decomposed, as though it had been iv the water several days. He did not Liioav deceased. Sergeant Henry Martin, deposed to receiving the body from last witness, about. half-past seven o'clock this morning ; he removed it to the dead-house ; he recognised the body as that of Coughlan, from the description given, and from a paper in his pocket, bearing his name ; he did not per sonally know the deceased. At the time of the accident every possible search Avas made, for the recoveiy of the body. Con stable Moar first reported the accident.

"OUR BOYS."

Tins iioav popular comedy Avas repeated last evening at the Theatre Royal, with the same undisputed success as on the previous evenings, and the audience testified in a way not to be misunderstood, that the comedy, with its briiiant sallies, clever turns of thought, happy expres sions, and realistic pictures of life, Avas exactly the thing for the people. Mr Lingard is a remarkable actor, and irresistably hearty and comic, without any of that assumed cant which clings to tho skirts of the English aristocracy, and not to the genuine English gentlemen. Middle wick, with his noisy humour, aud honest nature, although richer in pocket than the feminine knight, Avas not ashamed of the trade by which he made his money, and to the disgust of Champney's, frequently referred to the butter and eggs; the yellow Dorset, and the Hampshire flitch, as things of physical importance. The acting of iVliss Dunning, as Alary Melrose, formed a perfect character, and Avon the approbation of the audience. The other ladies and gentlemen who aided in rendering " Our Boys," acceptable, were highly to be commen "Our Boys" will make their fourth appearance this evening, and to-morrow evening will be the ladies grand fashionable night, when the Lingards wiil appear in Italian opera.

Chairman and Air. Tole addressed the children in suitable term;, on the satisfactory result of the examination. The Sisters of Mercy are entitled to much praise for their indefatigable exertions to promote the weal, education, and happiness of the orphans under their charge.
