Inquest.
--Coroner Sanxay was called upon yesterday to hold an inquest on the body of a man named John Delaney, who was found dead in his own house, in Adams's Valley, near the upper workshops of the Central Railroad Company.
Delaney died yesterday morning from the effects of a stab across the abdomen, inflicted by one Michael Buckton.
The stab or cut was of such extent that a good portion of the bowels protruded through the wound.
It appears that Buckton, on Friday night, went to Delaney's house, and while there, further reason, became angry with his wife's sister, and slapped her. This Delaney resented as all affront to himself, and strunk.
Buckton with a small stick.
He immediately cut him, and was arrested.

Inquest.
--An Irishman, named Michael Horan, died one day last week at the house on Broad street, near the corner of 9th, of wounds received in a drunken spree at a place known as Hattori's, kept by Carter & Roache, in Henrico county, a half mile beyond the new alms-house.
The jury of inquest summoned by Coroner Sanxay, owing to the character of the crowd who assembled on the occasion of the shooting of Horan, were unable, with all their astuteness, to tell who did the deed, they therefore returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by a shot from a gun in the hands of some person unknown.
After Noran was shot the Provost detectives broke up Carter & Roache's rendezvous.

Child Drowned.
--On Wednesday evening a woman named Sarah Fang, who lives at Rocketts, came up town as far as 18th street, and applied at a house on that street for lodgings.
She had an infant child in her arms at the time, and was evidently very much under the influence of liquor.
She was directed to go home; but after starting, instead of proceeding down Main street, she wandered off towards the Dock, and walking on the edge she soon lost her balance, and herself and the child fell into the water.
The splash made by the descending bodies was heard by parties at Castle Thunder, who repaired to the place and succeeded in getting both out alive.
The child, however, soon died, despite all attempts at resuscitation.
The mother was put in the cage and remained all night.
She had not yesterday morning recovered from her drunkenness.
Coroner Sanxay, on being informed of the affair, saw the body of the child, but did not deem an inquest necessary.

Death from cold and exposure.
--Coroner Sanxay was called upon yesterday to hold an inquest over the body of Dick, a slave owned by Col. John Harris, of Ga., (and of a Georgia regiment,) who had died on Saturday.
It appeared that Dick was on his way to the army, but it is supposed without a pass from his master, as the conductor of the train on which he embarked put him off. The night, it will be remembered, was bitter cold, and by the time he succeeded in reaching this city he was well nthe time he succeeded in reaching this city he was well nigh frozen.
Arriving in Richmond, he made his way to Henry Studdy's, in rear of the Ebeneser African Church on Leigh street, where he was taken in and had such attention bestowed on him as the inmates were capable of affording.
He was put to bed, but died during the night from the cold and exposure he had undergone.
It is not known whether his master was on the train or not. Coroner Sanxay did not deem it necessary to hold an inquest.
