SUDDEN DEATH IN CARDIFF MARKET.—On Saturday morning a butcher, named David Evans, residing at Dinas Powis, came to Cardiff, as usual, on Saturday, to transact business. Whilst in the market, about nine o'clock, he was suddenly taken so seriously ill that it was deemed advisable to remove him. He was accordingly conveyed to the New Market Tavern, which was near at hand, and every assistance was rendered to him, but he expired about half-past two o'clock the same afternoon. At the inquest held on his body, the jury returned a verdict of "Died by the visitation of God."
