If 7'aggart himself did rot receive the money, it sea clear that h: knew Bareonthe was to have it, a fact undenied by him. A fraud war decidedly commit ted, and it would be for the Jury to deride by whom it was so com mitted. Mr. John Debb examined by Mr. (it to: r. v.—l am a Director of the East [oldie (alumna:v. and was el-cted in April. 111'21. Shortly after I received a letter from Mr. Taggart, which I answered. In June and August following I received letters from him; the letter of June was enclosed in that of Attircet.. Mr. Morgan proved that the letters handed to the wnnewi were in the heed-writing of Taggart. The letters, which were then put in and read, stated the wish oft defendant to obtain *cadetship for a Mr. Pritchard front Mr. Bebb,' and at the same time apologising for taking such a liberty with a gentleman of whom he knew an little. The letter of defendant represented this Mr. Pritchard as his godson, that several of his relatives had been in the service of the Honourable East India Compute, and that he had repaired to hondon for the purpose of ensaufying himself for a situation in the Bombay Cavalry. Mr. Bebb's examination resumed.-1 answered Mr. Taggart's i.tn.rr on the nth of August, stating that I mold not then give r me appointment, but that I hoped I should be able to do so in the Its, year. I received an answer to that letter, thanking me for the hoe I held out. In the April following I received another letter tot Mr. Taggart (letter produced end read), and I promiaed •be appointment. I subsemiently heard from Mr. Taggart that P tabard was dead, expressing a hope that I would give the sp p•rintroent to Mr. Bennett. I received a letter, which I lost, from defendant, and I ant confident it was in the same hand-writing as :.11 the former letters. The appointment, signed by Mr. Debi), was put in Red reatL It /toted the petition of Mr. Kennett for the cadets hip, and the re tvmmendation of Mr. Tagaart, who plesi.tad his honour that he hu.d received the appoirtment gratuisaarly from Mr. Bebb, and Into he (the defendant) Rave it gratuitously to Bennett.

At a subseqiuent period I ray Basenmbe at Chide hest, when I expressed a wish that Bennett emild he substituted 'Pritchard, and that the same would be done as to the money. I trationed this to Mr. l'aggart before I mentioned it to Mr. Has- Oahe. 1 said I though: it would he a pity that the appointment Amid be lost after the death of Mr. Prhchatti. and that It would be a very kind act If he would interest himself for Bennett. lie then asked about the young man's family, arli said he would Mu tat himself. I don't think he knew Iknnetibefore. I went to tThislehurat with Bennett after his appointment. I walked with Mr. T. in the garden, when s great deal was said obeli , Itmeonibe. He said particularly, " I have nothing to del'aith any thing be. tween you and Bascombe." To which I answered." Very well.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONA, THCSZDAY, Aram 21 The Adjourned Sessions commenced yesterday at the Amiens House, I:Likens:ell-green, heroic F. ComuT, Esq. and stood of Magistrates. Mary Oro?: was indicted for assaulting Ann S:one, on the 21st of February last. The prosecutrix deposed that she lodged in the defendant's hus band's house. lin the (lay mentioned is the indictment, on going home she found the street-door locked, and the defendant refused to le t her in. However. a ladder was procured, and she got in by the window ; the defendant got into her 'cunt by a false key, flew at her with a knife, and struck her with it, but the bones in her stays prevented any wound from being inflicted. The defendant was found Guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of 13(i. 4(1. Joh,. P.lrrsoit was indicted for assaulting Sarah Uashey on the' the 'lst February. The prosecutrix rated, that on the day mentioned, she was going to market, when the defendant met her, seized her violently by the arm, and struck her in the face. He threatened to do for her, and held her by the throat, the blood all the while streaming down bee face. He keeps a chandler's shop, at which she some. times deals, and she owed him a trifling sum, which was the Cause of the quarrel. Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY—Witness and her husband had been held to bail for assaulting the defendant. Peterson and his wife then were examined in support of their indictment against Gashey and his wife; and said that Oashey and his wife (3111 C to Peterson's shop about the bill on the 21st of February, and committed an assault on hint. The Jury found hashey and his wife Gritty, and Peterson Not Guilty. Gashey was sentenced tom days' imprisonment, and his wife to icy a fine ot 3s. 441. STATE OF CRIME. emnerving together the first and last seven years of the fourteen ended the 31. t of December, 1823, we shall find the commitments for trial, enneictioas, sentences of death, anti executions, in Eng land and Wales, to have been as follows: Ile average annual number of persons committed for trial during the first period was 9,7118 ; during the latter 13,291 t—the lowest number was 5,149, in the year 11119 ; the highest 14,2441, in 11119. The aveng_ e annual number of persons convicted tinting the first period was 4394 ; during the latter B,llo—the lowest number was .1,158, in 11119 ; the highest 9,610, in 18i9. The average annuli member of persons sentenced to death during the first period was 689 • during the latter I,l74—the ',west number was 494, in the year ' 1811; the highest number 1,314, 1819. The average anneal number of executions during the first period was 76 ' • during the latter 418; the lowe,t number was 43, iu 1811 ; the higlirit was 12W, iu 181 J. Among the crimes hue which capital convictions took place, in the two periods respectively, it may be sufficient to nuts the following 1111110 ii averages:— Marder and attempt to 3lurder Highway Robbery lturglasy - liowebreaking.in day-tame First Ptriud. last SI - 31 GI - 131 121 - 317 49 - 144 Stealing in Da 7 Cllinglaiames, &c. Si - lil Sheep.stralimr . . - This shows the fallacy of the prevailing notion that atrocious crimes have decreased of late years. 31urder, the most dreadful of all, has certainly not increased so rapidly as burglary or housebreaking, and perhaps it has not increased more rapidly than the population of the kingdom ; but the actual number of convictions tor murder, and a tempts to murder by shooting at, 'stabbing, or administering poison, were in the first seven years 216, aliU in the last ?O. It is also remarkable that the increase of crime has been general 'all over the kingdom, and even more (proportionably) in the country pasts than in the metropolis !

The increase el population will account for much of the increase, but certainly not for the whole or it. MELANCHOLY CAT.ISTROPHE. SICVEN Pensows DitowmEn.--Yeaterday evening, inquisitions were taken before Mr. Uwwisr, the Coroner, on view of the bodies of Maui Threader, William Eynon, Elizabeth Mitchell, Robert Zkitl/1011, and Elie tbeth &bison, his daughter, aged three yam and a half. The first inquest was held at the Hone and Otoolmsl White Morse -street, Ratcliffe, on Mary Threader, and thel p =' on the other untOrtunate deceased persons was held at the Kidney stairs, Limehouse. . ~ The following was the evidence add u c e d en both inquests 3._— residt Mr. W. Thomas sworn—Witness is • ship - owner , is Narrow -street, Ratefiff; he was standing at his hock: h doesr, el ht o'clock on the evening of Monday last, ',rid commanded a the rive; the tide was going down at die time; be saw i bee on the north side of the river, opposite his premises; few baogna, were hanging to a chain, en Mr. Kean, the cool-tnerebones Mrs. oat outside the pits, and the other throe banging to hol fang loaded barge was at this time dropping down ll• head to tide; he can't tell who the barge belonged to, though he and others called out to ascertain that fact; the long barge was going to "bring up" to Mr. Kean's barges ; the boatman was pulling ahead, bit St= he could not, he dropped beck with a view to go outside du barge, but from the weight of his boat he could not accomplish kit project, and his boat struck against one of MrKean's barges, width mopped him. In the mean time the loaded barge kept d down, and the rudde s struc k t h e b oat , drove her under one n Mt Kean's barges, and ' all the passengers were washed overboard. When witness found that the accident had occurred, he triad out " Renner:" and several watermen and part of a ship's crew put out to the assistance of the drowning persons, and picked up the water. man, an elderly man, an infant, and Mary Threader, all living, and who survived the shock, with the exception of the latter, who died shortly after she was brought ashore. It is witness's opinion, that if Mr. Ke a n' s b arges had not been moored there, the disaster would not have occurred. There is • great deal of danger in barges being moored in that situation. One of the witness's ap hrentiers sous drowned a short* time ago in consequence, and he as been himself' the means of preventing many accidents there. There were four women, time men (including the waterman) and two female children in the boat at the time. Winseaa thinks that the people in the long barge ought to have warned those in the boat of their danger. John Threader, an old man, deposed he was husband to the do. ceased of that name; they went together to Greenwich on Monday last, not to the fair, but to visit a particular friend of his at the College, and were returning home in the boat alluded to. Witness cannot acquit the waterman of blame, for he went on shore twice in coining up, although he was told several times to be cautious. Witness cannot recollect under what circumstances either lie or any of the others were saved, he was in such confusion at the time. iVilliuni Hewett works occasionally for Mr. Thomas, th e first witness, end was in hi s warehouse, and saw the accident occur as described by his master ; he heard two diadem screaming bitterly, sad tan to the *hart' with a long ladder, which he placed in the wat.r, In order to save some of the persona, but he had no success ; he saw Min. Threader taken ashore, she was then alive; and he went to call the assistance of two neighbouring surgeons, but they refused to attend. Ile thinks the Waterman was to blame, for he was condoned of the danger long before the accident oceureed. The situation of the barges alluded to is most dangerous to per. SOU navigating on the river, and in witness's opinion have no right whatever to be moored there. The Jury were one and all of opinion that the situation of these barges was dangerous and illegal, and wished to learn of the Co. some how the evil could be remedied. The Coaoxea said, the matter might be either represented at the Crown Office, or the nuisance indicted at the sessions. The Jury expressed their determin a ti on o f l ay i ng the matter be. fore the Parish Commit:re, who, they were sure, would take the necessary steps in the mutter. We believe the Court of Aldermen Is the most quarter from which to seek redrew. After son l :7ll l i e r r ther comments, The Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death in each case. The waterman received • most excellent character Irons several rearretable inhabitants in the neighbourhood. There are two of the unfortunate sufferers still missing ; one Is the witb of Robert prison, who was an engineer, living in Harris's court, Ratcliffe; the other is a young woman only 18 years of age, named Betsey Mitchell, who was to be married in a few days to the de-emu-4 William Eynon. FIRE.—On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in the shop of Mr. G. Moore, ea and timber- Tes er t chan myeel't t he la a r l4 l i ac tol k r i c i trw b i r t i h il t7i; Lever stuck and a Deptford, wh irls imaged several houses to Fairey's-buildings, adjoining. Flaz.—Yestertlay morning, between twelve and one o'clock, the Inhabitants of Deptford were greatly alarmed by the breaking out of a fire in an extmsive :finber-yard, situate in Far- retro-buildings, Lower-road. The flames raged with such lame tumity, as at first to threaten destruction to the houses in the vi- I tiuity, without the probability of checking their p get; but by the united and very great eztertions of theneighbours and the fireman, who had s.-need with the London engines, it wax very for tunately got under, but n o t bef o r e th e w h a l e o f t h e sta bl es, out . hawses, sheds, and every thing belonging to the premises, were consumed. The appearance of the llama was awfully dreadful, Iro.o the quantity of dry timber, which blazed until it was quite reduced to ashes, and the premises present a heap of ashes. The rhorses were burnt to death in thestables, without the possibility of ang person attempting their rescue. It is a well-known fact that Cocoa and Chocolate are the most nutritious Fit-tide; for a beverage of any importations to this island ; hence arises the frequent use of cocoa among the veterans of Greenwich Hospital. A method has of late beet introduced of rendering the above articles far more suitable for weak and delicate constitutions, than hitherto in use, via.: by neutralizing the oily properties of the cocoa -nut, which, when manufactures: into chneo. late powder or cocoa-paste, becomes a delicious article of faintly use. We are intbrmed that the consumption of chocolate powder and cocoa paste is become very general, owing to the above-named improvements in the manufacture, together with the great facility of making it for the table, viz.: in Less than one minute, and with out boiling. POLICE. MANS lON-HOUSE. STATE OF THE ST•EETs.—The LORD MAYOR stated yes terdarthat he had received communications coniplaining of various obstructions and annoyances that were experienced by tradesmen in the City fbim the want of proper emotion in the officers in enforcing the regulations of the Street Act. lie directed that all the street. keepers and officers, whose duty it was to patrole the streets, should attend before him to receive instnictions. He had been appiied to by persona whom he believed to be infOrmere, to sanction their pro ceedings against the oflendent, but he would give no such sanction. All he would say was, that lie would inilict the penalty directed by t h e law against every person who might be proved to have uffended against the regulations of the Street Act. GUILDHALL. INCREASE OF JUVENILE DEMI EGATORs.—A very floe look ing boy, about 13 years of age, named Charles Droll, the son of an industrious hardworking man, residing in Shim-lane, was brought up yesterday before the sitting Magistrate, 31r.Alderman ATE I ss on a charge of pi c ki ng a gent l eman ' s poc k e t of a silk-handkerchief:* Ile had not been detected in the very act, but he was close to the gentleman at the time he missed his handkerchief. and the officer found it in the possession of the prisoner. No prosecutor, however, appeared, nor was there any body in attendance on behalf of the boy. Barnes, the officer, alio npprehended him, had seen his father, who was confined to his house through illness, and brought a letter from hint to the Alderman, in which he earnestly entreated tithe Magistrate to interpose his authority to place the boy in sonic Penitentiary, •cr to dispose of him in any manner, that might break his conr.ection with the bad company with whom 1 e had got as. 'twisted; every exertion on his, the father's part, having been tried 'in vain, either to reform or control him. lie ran away whenever lie tho ught proper, and it was now many days since he had set el es upon him, or h ear d of him, till he learnt he was in custody. Mr. Alderman ATKINS observed, that the newspapers were terming with remarks upon the increase of crime, and well they might. . Here was one general instance of the cause of it—the want I of tome law authorizing parents to enforce obedience in v.eir chil -1 dren. Here was a boy—a mere child--alreatly beyond the con trol of his father, with art and wickedness enough, though he was prowling about the streets, subsisting himself by robbery, to pot on the appearanceof a working lad with an apron tacked round him, as if he was some tradesman's apprentice. There were numbers of boys of this description in the streets, and it was fit the public should know and be upon their guard against this trick--scarcely one in ten of these boys with aprons round them, but were professed thieves. What was a Magistrate to do, be said, with such a boy as this? In his iudgeorit, the proper way to treat him would be to have him well whipped, but the Magistrate who should order it to be done, would probably have the epithet bestowel upon him of ••• the Hogging .1141ertnan." There was great want of some place to send these young thieves to, where they might be forced to work, and until there was some institution for that purpose,or some strong authority given to parents and masters to enforce their control over these ye initial depeedatore, he feared the complaints of the increase of crime would still continue. The boy whimpered out the old excuse in such cases, that he did not take .he handkerchief from the gentleman's pocket, but picked It un off the ground. Indeed ! said the Alderman, but what do you do with an apron en, when you were idling about the streets, and have not been at work for weeks? As your father cannot control you, we must try if the Magistrate can; ffir the sake of the public, and, indeed, for our own sake, a s I h o p e it ma y be a lesson to you, I shall send you to Bridewell, and have you kept to some kind of work, at least ; and accordingly committed him for two months' to hard labour. ROW-STREET. ROBBERIES AT COVENT - GARDEN T N • Yesterday Deaais M'earihrt, a fallow belonging to s most daring gang of thieves, who infest the Theatres, and who have bid defiance to the officers for a length of time, was brought up in custody by Donald. eon and a brother officer, charged with attempting to commit a felony at the front entrance to the Theatre, at a quarter past twelve o'clock last night. The officers described him as one of the most daring and active of the gang, and amounted for his so long evad ing them by saying that he possessed more than ordinary agility in passing miner the carriages. Several persons have lately been plundered on the stairs, and at the entrances to the Theatre, and the prisoner has been present on these occasions, but could not be caught, though the officers were on the alert for him. The prisoner was fully committed, and on leaving the ba r , sa id " your eyes, you old Donaldson, I'U have it out of you." A COCKNEY SHOOTING PARTY.—Yesterday a young man of respectable appearance, named Samuel Gardiner, was brought before the Magistrates, charged with committing an assault and battery upon William Rockshall. The case was delayed for a con siderable time by the non-arri va l o f M r . Harmer, whom the com plainant had thought it necessary to employ to induct the prose. elation. Rochellell, a little old man, in a fustian jacket and hob-nailed half-boots, swore, that he was of a large party of " sporting men," who, on Good Friday leek met at Chalk Farm, to enjoy the direr 'ion of pigeon shoothsg. In the midst of the sports the defendant came up to him, with his mouth bleeding, and seizing , him by the color stud, " You d--t 1 old rascal, you have shot me.' The wit ness denied it, and chewed him Ms gun, which was still charged. The defendant upon this ran t o anothe r men, whom he also col. lend, and accused of having shot bisp ; bat it was stoutly denied by the other.

Mr. HALLS examined the gum, which4ll, a very stout one, and observed, that either that mast be ms* defective, at Mr. Gat. diner's head particularly strong. Mr. Gardiner said, that nothing butte breaking of the gun prevented the blow tram being fatal. - A witness corroborated the defendant's, statement, and said, that the blow felled him es though he hell/seen shot through the bead. Bir R. Blame said, he had seldom net with a mere impudent attempt than this to turn the proper coarse of justice. The de fendant had been shot in the mouth, and mei naturally seised upon the person, who, in his judgment, was theaffender, and fur doing so the complainant had almost fractured his skull, end now had the face to proceed against him by law fat an assault. It oppeartd in the course of turther inquiry, that the person who actually shot bin. Gardiner, and h um the latter seized, was Reckshall'n son. The result was, that the original wanant was discharged, and Mr. Gardiner being sworn as a witness, Roekshall was ordered to give notice of bail for the &Inuit. Sla in the mean time was locked up.

HA T TON-GA RDEN. Yesterday a atout.lookin g smith, named Greco, was brought up upon s charge of violently assaulting his wife and children. Hu wife procooded to state nosy mica of gross assault, and oh. owed (we sappese M ottripliment to his trade) that the instru. mints which he used were pokers, tongs. shovels, &c., nay, on One occasion he pulled the grate out, and flung it at one of his children. When called upon for his defence, he said, that as to his chil dren, in flinging those implements he did not Mean to strike them ; he only meant to make. them look As to his wife, ohs gave him pmrocatlon to use not only posers , but sledge hammers —"an aggravating tongue." "Aye," exclaimed Mrs. Green, "and you &tempted to cure it I by actually proceeding, the other day, to thrust a poker down my throat." The Magistrate, t ; ..ough he was sensible that there are many dis eases attached to a woman's tongue which bathed human skill, yet, not exactly approving of the smith's summary mode of cure, or dered him to find bail tor his appearance ciscwhav, to give a more satisfactory account of this novel experiment.

VENTED.—%Vednesday morning, about six o'clock, a duel was to have been fought in t!,e fields leading to Chalk Farm, by two rust respectable merchants ia tb• City, in consequence of • dispute, the day before on some point connected with the New Docks at ht. Catherine's, but was fortunately pre vented. 'llia seconds had just measured the ;remind, and delivered the piste's to the two disputants, when some gentlemen, tricids of one of the Lntagonists, appeared on the ground, nod by their in. terveation the dapptite was amicably adjusted. It appears that ore of the parties, in order to relieve the suspense of his friends in ease of a fatal rasult, left a note on his dresaing-table in the morn ing previous to his departure, which was fuur.d almost immediately after he had left the house, when a council was summoned, the re sult of whose deliberations was the fortunate prevention of hosti. !Airs. On Tuesday night last a fire broke ont in the cxten- I sire premises of flotilston and Son, printers, Wellington, which, though immediately discovered, was not subdued until part of a range of oiliccs and store-room wan destroyed- The printing prows and port of the stock were saved. CORONER'S INQUEST ON LIEUT. lIUME :1011 XSON. We stated in our yesterday's paper the melancholy death of the above gallant officer, who put a period to his existence on hoard the Weymouth Receiving Ship, by firing a double-barrelled gun into Chia mouth, the contents of which penetrated hit brain, and caused instant death. On Wednesday morning Mr. Canter, the Coroner for Kent. received information of the melancholy occurrence. The fatal weapon was brought to the house of the Coroner by the Messenger, who gave him the information, and the Coroner issued orders to Dogget, the beadle, to summon a Jury, to assetnbkat the Red lion, at two o'clock, to hold an inquest on the body. At the appointed hour the Coroner and Airy assembled, and the Miens, and a number of the men belonging to the Discovery ships, were present during the inquiry. The Jury being sworn, Mr. Canter stated to them that they were called together to decide, upon the evidence which would be brought before them, what, in their opinion, was the cause of the death of the unfortunate gentleman of whose body they would have a view. and they would also have to state what they believed to be the con dition of the mental faculties of the deceased at the time be com mitted the act that deprived him of life- The Jury then took a view of the body, which exhibited a most shocking spectacle, the back part of the head having been blown away by the loading of the gun. A considerable quantity of blood and part of the brains lay scattered near the deceased's cot. Captain Hoppner, the Commander of the Fury, stated, that he had remarked that the deceased had been for some time in a very desponding state, particularly during the last fortnight, during which , period he but been attended by the surgeon of the ship. The Cap kin could not attribute the act toasty particular cause. He was not on board the ship when the accident tank place. lie stated that the deceased vase most active and deserving officer. lieut. Ross, of the ship Fury, stated, that yesterday morning, about half -Fast wren o'clock, he heard a report of tire-arms below. lie soon afterwards received information that the report had taken place in the robin of the decea , :el ; and ceders were given for the door to be broken open, and the deceased was found lying on the ground, quite dead, with a double-barrelled gun lying by his side, which had been recently discharged. The Assistant Surgeon of the ship vas called to attend the de cessed,but found that life was extinct. ii:liell.aesl;;;;;tetirieonot7l;Fury, gated, that he had at ; tended the deceased for the last fortnight During that period he had been very much depressed in spints, and witness had pee.. scribed for him. The disease appeared to be more mental than bodily ; but the precise cause of his disease w•itums could dot ascertain. Jury—Had he any disinclination to proceed with the expeditioa ? Witness--I cannot say he had not, nor do I know from himself' that he had. Juror—What is your opinion of his state of mind at the time lie committed the act? 111tness-1 believe he Witt at that time, and had been fur settle time previously, in a disordered state of mind. Juror—You say his health was bad foe some time? Witness Yes, he was very much debilitated, and in a very t.• eons state. The Steward of the Fury was examined, and deposed as to his finding the deceased in his cabin after the discharge of the gun : the cabin-door was locked, and he broke it open ; when he entered, he found the deceased had just expired ; the body was quite warm, and the blood had flowed in different directions on the ground. The contents of the gun having passed through the deceased's head, had entered the side of the cabin. By other evidence it appeared, that the deceased had for some time taken laudanum in small quantities to raise his spirits. The CORONER submitted the facts to the consideration of the Jury, who, without hesitation, returned a verdict—" That the de coyed, being in estate of mental derangement, shot himself, and thereby caused his death." CORONER'S INQUEST. EXTRAORDINARY VERDICT.—We have heard of a Yorkshire Jury, who, in the case of a man standing indicted for stealing a pair of leathern breeches, and being unwilling from the peculiar circumstances of the case to subject him to the penalty of the law, returned the incongruous verdict of Mamikughter I—but we did not expect ever to have cognizance of an absurdity almost so ex treme, within the precincts of our circulation. Such however is the fact, and the following are the particulars:— An Inquest was held last week at Clativonhy, near Wivelis combe, on the body of William 'tidier ' aged 22. The deceased was a labourer in Taunton, and lodged ID the house of Samuel Dummett, a miller, at Wilton, near this town. The deceased proving a troublesome inmate, and being considerably in sneer for his lodgings, was re ques t e d to quit, and a few days before his departure, it wag discovered that he had the small-pox. Dummett, his landlord, never having had that disorder—having a child in the house, and his wife in daily expectation of being put to bed (an event which has since happened) became naturally appre liensive of his own safety, and mildly but anxiously urged his guest to leave him. The deceased consented accordingly, and, without saying anything to Duunuett's family, rose on Friday morn. ing the 9th inst., went to his employers, from whom he received 65., and adjourned to several public-houses in Taunton, where he drank brandy and water, beer, and other equally improper beverage for a man in his state of incipient disease. He then proceeded to his father's house a: Clateorthy, a distance of fifteen miles, and arrived there at ten o'clock the state night, having walked the whole distance, and expended nearly all his money in drink on the He remained in a lodgi.:lg which his filthy/ procured for him boa that time until Thars&y, being the seventh day &timid& ar rival, and then died of a coodluent small-pox. Übe Cesetsee's Jury hnegining;filire methane, that the death of the dec ease d was occasioned by his havlngibeen inhumanly turned out of his l o c h . beg, returned& verdict, " That there did not appear to them any malice had been proved against Dummett, but that he was guilty ttf Masula tighter ;" and he was committed accordingly, under the Daeoner's warrant, to %Mon Gaol, to take his trial at the next Assizes ! James Stacey, a fellow-lodger in Dummett's house, testifies that there never was the slightest insult or unkindness exhibited by Dummett or his Cfe towards the deceased; and the character of Dummett being that of an industrious inoffensive man, his case has excited a very general commiseration. Several respectable persons of this town have volunteered their services in his behalf, and have offered bail to any amount ; but as the offence charged is not bail able, the poor fellow must remain in gaol until the Summer Assizes, ales. the Home Secretary of State should think tit, from the pecu liar hardship of his case, to sanction his liberation, under proper sureties fog his forthcoming at the appointed Omelet trial. It is almost superfluous to add that there was nothing in the Coroner's summing lip to the Jury which could have influenced them in their extraordinary decision—Toanty/ Cowries. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE. Yesterday afternoon an iniuisition was taken before the Deputy Coroner for Westminster, and a respectable jury, at the Coach and Horsee, Greek-street, Soho, on the body of Mr. John Hayden, a gentleman in the 724 year of his age, who put a period to his ex istence by cutting his throat. Mr. Adam Sutherland, a surgeon, said he was sent for to attei:d the deceased last Tuesday; he found a severe laceration in his throat; he was lying in Church -street, Soho (No. 28,) and witness has no doubt the act was committed by himself. Mrs. E. %Vebstead, of 28, Church-street, landlady of that I house, said the decea se d gent l eman was her lodger; she had known • him foe two years, during which time his mind had been consider ably disordered, and he was at times so far deranged as to commit acts the most inconsistent; he was also extremely religious, and witness believes that religious questions affected his mind ; he had much money, but had lent it, and was greatly annoyed by not being paid the same lent when due. Witness believes that at times he hod not the necessaries of life; she supposed hint in a state of mental derangement, and attributed his inconsistencies to that cause. Witness thinks that on Monday and Tuesday he was de prived of common necessaries. A Juror here said, that the deceased had advanced 5001. for the building of the chapel in Princess -street, fur which lie was to have received interest at fifteen per cent. Subsequent to this he had lent a person 301. in his business ; this person had the management of the chapel, and was to receive the interest, which, together with the 301., Mr. Whit e h ea d b a d not accounted for to the deceased. The witness continued.—She conceives the difficulty in getting his money back, was the principal cause of the act being com mitted. On Tuesday evening the deceased came home, and went into his room ; soon after • niece of his came and called him ; he did not answer. Witness then went up, and saw the deceased lying by the lire-place, covered with blood. She then fetched Mr %Vat. son, a surgeon. A razor was found near the fire-place. The beadle here pAjduced several impers, found on the deceased, on the subject of eternity; a few halfpence, together with some knives, were also preduced, with a pocket-book, which bore tee tnorandums of aunts of mon e y which he had lent to several persons, till he had absolutely reduced himself to poterty. Mrs. Mary Mills, of No. 10, Regent street, Vauxhall road, de posed, that the deceased was with her on Tuesday afternoon. He appeared much irritated, and remained three or four hours. Wit ness believes he advanced Mi. only to the Princess-street chapel. He wdnt away, and witness followed him home, being fearful that he would lay violent hands on himself. Witness knows the de ceased had near Mi. in the Saving Bank, Lekestermquare. Juror—Did you ever borrow trmneyof him ? Witness -_ I did, 31. and p a id it again. Juror—ln his pocket-book it Slate* 201. Witness-1 received that, but gam it back again, and I believe he might have spent that. Juror—Oh no ! lie has had the name of a " miser" in this part for years. Mrs. Webstead said, that frequently when he had plenty of mo ney he would collect the bits o meat falling front the butchers' stalls, eat bread and drink *catty, which was his chief diet; he was, in fact, a miser. Mr. Philip IVhitehend, of No. P!, Leicettermtrcet, said, the de ceased e...11eA upon Min on Tneseay, much &flirted in mind, he said he had lost the key of his pocket ; witness has advanced the interest of the 601. lie lent on the new chapel at 13 per cent, ; the 301. witness is alle4ed to have was t h e discounting of a bill, but he now owes the deceusftrs effects nothing. Juror—Do you think it has been the love of religion or the love of money that has driven hint to this act ? Witnem--The love of money. Juror—l think he was deranged, for I saw him ,go to chapel with the hind part of his wig before last Sunday. The Beadle here brought in a number of documents which he ha v d eral taken front the deceased's trunk, showing he had mon e y i n and silver. se ways granted by annuity, also a go ld watc h , some guineas, The Conn NE It said, no doubt could remain of the insanity (idle deceased, and the Jury found a verdict accordingly.
