After her re covery from the fit, As remained in a state of stupor which ended In absolute insanity. He had tutned her out of the house in that condition, and abs was now taken to the Hospital, where no ha were held out for her recovery, sod she would be expelled, unrest security were given foe her maintenance. The mother declared she had no means or supporting her, anti she applied to have the trades man compelled to do something in puividing for the consequences of the calamity which his family had occasioned. The tradesman attended, and declared that the calamity had not hem occasioned in the mischievous end highly culpable manner re premolar!, but was entirely the effect of accident upon a girl who was extremely venous and weak.liestlea. She was about fourteen wears of age, sad waseubject to tiro, and on that account she was not suffered to go to bed without care being taken afterwards' to fetch the candle. His daughter was sent to fetch the candle after the girl had gone to bed. it was •very cold, and his daughter, who had drawn her frock over her head end neck, entered the bed room in that condition, when the girl„ turning round suddenly, took fright, end went into a fit. There was not, lie was assured, the slightest intention to frighten her—the consequences were as stated. Ile had done all that humanity could direct; he had medical aid, anti the girl was attended to assiduously for several days, when, as she did not recover. she was sent to the hospital—more he could nut do; it could hardly be expected of him that be should be at the expense of supporting the unfortunate lunatic. She had been predisposed to it, as her father, who was a respect able butcher, must be well aware of. The complaint was dismissed. A man was brought up, charged on suspicion of being in one or the Custom-kouse rooms, with intent to steal. The prisoner, who is a journeyman bricklayer, proved that hit wife had been brought to bed of a boy at a very early hour on the morning in question. His joy on the occasion was so great that he went and got drunk, and being drunk, he wandered about and fell asleep, he knew not whither, until he was awakened in a room by a person entering, and cha-ging him as having come there with an Intention to thieve. The proof satisfied the parties ; and the bowl Mayor, though he has made it a general rule to fine all thaw found drunk, yet, In consideration of threecasion, remitted the penalty. It was not long after before another operative was put to the bar on a charge of being found drunk and riotous in the streets, at an early hour in the morning, and of having assaulted a tradesman who attempted to prevent the disturbance which the prisoner occasioned. The prisoner's defence was similar to that in the last case. Ile proved that he had been tutt nine months married, and his wife had been that morning safely delivered of a fine boy. Ile declared that he was so overjoyed on the occasion, Oct he went and drank what proved to be too much for him. The LORD MAYOR said, that such a mode of rejoicing on such occasions could not be sanctioned as a practice. a hich it appeared to be from this second vow, and although the prosecutor declined proceeding on the charge of assault, he must fine the prisoner bs. for getting drunk. The prisoner's master attended, and observed that marriage. which brought most men to their senses, seemed to have deprived the prisoner of his. No one could be more sober or steady then he wr:s before marriage--no one could be more drunken and dissipated than he was after. tiniest he mended he would lose his place. The LORD MAYOR real the operative a lecture on the incensed obligation he was under, both as a husband and as a father, to be sober, diligent, anti moral. The operative promised amendment, and asked his master to pay his line for him. His master pulled out the money ; but the Lord Mayor, under the circumstances of the contrition of the prisoner, his inability to pay, and, above all, that his new family might suffer for his mis conduct, remitted the fine and coats. a tt to 'it If ATTOX•GARD£W.—Yeaterday, John Ball and James Littgoe, two watchmen belonging to the parish of Islington, were brought up in custody of some of the Bow-street patrol, charged with stealing from the person of Thomas Wiltshire a silver watch. The complainant, who is a stone-mason, stated that on the night of Saturday, the 14th instant, he was at the pay-table of his em ployer, • master-builder, near the Ball's Pond-gate, Islington, which he left at a late hour, and being unable to get Into his lodg ings, he asked the prisoner Bull, as the fittest person, to take him to the watch-boom for the night. The prisoner declined doing so, and said that he might go and sleep in an adjacent field, if he thought proper, and when the night constable came round, he (the prisoner) would ask permission to take him teethe watch-Louse. Complainant did go into the field along with one of his fellow. workmen, and relying on the watclimaan's promise, they fell asleep, having drank rather too much. When complainant awoke, about three o'clock in the morning, he missed his watch, and on mentioning it to his friend, they went to the watchman who had brought them to tha field, and charged him with the robbery. That watchmen was the enisoner Buli, who denied it. and seemed ex tremely angry that he should be at all suspected of such a charge. Complainant exited him to go to the watch-house, In order to have dieroutmer explained before the eight constable, bet peewee-Iw fined to go with him, and complainant then asked Lingo' to take Bull in charge, which waslikewise refused—a row then commenced. Complainant with his friend were taken in charge by some other watchmen, and when on their way to the watch-house, the prisoner Bull admitted that he had taken the watch ; and, if complainant would promise to say nothing about it, that It would be given up. This was agreed to, and they were allowed to go about their bud ness. The prisoner Bull had described where the watch was de posited, and it was found under the conductor of a well, near Ball's Pond, by one of the Bow-street patrol. Both the prisoners ab sconded the next day. Ore of the Bow-street patrol proved that the prisoners had been absent from their homes for several slays after the robbery, the we having been taken up by the parish officers. The prisoner Bull was apprehended the previous evening in Hoxton Old Town. Mr. ROGERS said, that as the prosecutor appeared to have coin • promised the felony, he could not entertain the charge, but he had no doubt the parish would take cognisance of the matter. The prioners were then discharged. Mant.nonoucif.mrntET.—Yesterday the night constable of St. George's brought in a bag of letters which hail been delivered at the watch-house by a watchman in the beat of Park-lane and the upper part of Oxford-street ; a man had since claimed them of him as the twopenny postman who had lost them ; but fcarfnl that he should not do richt by surrendering them, he kept the letters for the Magistrate's derision. Mr. DVell told the night constable his retention of the letters was perfectly correct; it was • thing of great importance, as in. volving an esmblishinment of the country of great responsibility. In this case the rightful owner was the Post-office; and although in ordinary cases the ownership was vested in the person robbed, or who lost the property, in this instance he should not feel himself justified in delivering the big to any individual claimant, but had no objection to hear what he had to say. Thomas Hill, a twopenny postman, said he was going on his do. livery on Tuesday evening, when, at the corner of Park-lane Oxford•street, he was hustled and assaulted by a number of frith he gave bit hag into the hand ofa friend, whom he was walking with, for safety. till he could rescue himself; when both himself and hie friend were knocked down, and the bag lost In the scuffle; they both sought for the beg, but could not find it. The letters ought ' ; to have been delivered on Tuesday night, and he was fearful its should lose his situation at the Post-office in consequence. Not knowing how to set, he mule inquiries of she watchman, and learned that one of them had picked up • bag of leuets, and takes • it to Opt witch-11mm. Mr. Dv ea inquired of the night constable and watclomit if Hill and his friend were sober; and being told they wore, maid to Hilt be was very glad to hear that the letters had not been kat through misconduct; as it was, he should write an exonerates., letter, and semi it with the bag to the Post.office, and he might wait to hear the answer. If he thought he could identify any of the parties who assaulted him, warrants should be issued for their -- - . apprehension. I Hilt said the thing was altogether so sudden, and his concern to recover his bag so overcame him, that lie did not think ho should be able to recognise any of them. Mr. Dr c R wrote a letter to Mr. Bridges, the clerk t 3 the Comp troller of the department in Bensrd-street, and sent it and the bag by the office messenger, who returned with a satisfactory answer to the klagistrate s ewhieb was told to Hill, and the man left that:dee seemingly-am eh relieved. Thomas Ax,,f4 w rd. a man in the employ of Mr. Peachey, of Re gent-street, ho has the contract for the ornamental railing to the rrh , le of the residences round the Regent's-park, was brought in by Morgan and another of the Bow-street patrol, on suspicion of stealing three pigs of lead. Morgan etated that he met the man on Tuesday night in Grosse nor.square, who was hugging something under his jacket which appeared to be heavy. and that the man endeavoured to avoid them as they came up to him. Suspecting he had aomet'ling he had no right to, they stopped him, and were about to search him, when Ito let fall two of the pigs on the ground. which fell within half an inch of his toes. ant. hot for his quickness, might have crushed his feet. After a g ood deal of equivocation, the prisoner told him She lead was Mr. Peachey's ; and they went to a boat-builder at Lambeth, who directed them to Mr. Peachey, in Regent-etreet. Mr. Peachey mid the prisoner was in his employ, but not on that contract. The lead had been taken from a store at the Stan hope-gate, where the prisoner bad not been employed for a week, and had no business there. lie had no doubt whatever that the lead wax his, because lie had many hundred weight Mere ; but would decline swearing to it till the man who cast it could attend with the moulds. The prisoner owned to taking the lead, and said he wax going to take it to his master, becsuse the boa was rotten that it was in, and he thought it might be lost or stolen. Mr. DYER told the man his defence, or recites, did not need any comment, and remanded hint, for the attendance of the easter. MAN ri.EnoirE•orncr..—Vesterday, Mary, the wife of Aft. David, who keeps the perfumery warehouse and general poet-face, at the corner of Springaitrert, Crawford-street, dlarylebone, was charged with having assaulted her female servant. Bridget Curtain, a young Irishwoman, stated, that on Tuesday night. after a hard day's washing, she could not go to her usual bed, because her minuet, who was tipsy, had taken possession of it, atoll her mistress would not have him disturbed. The first door is let tea gentleman, whose mah.lervant makes use of the kitchen : yet, notwithstanding this circumstance, Mrs. David insisted IntE BRITISH PRESS. the rang weevil gold to bed then, sthleh she objected at to m pie t eirtually in the room. The girl wished Ps out berm after having put out the candle, sad i *Mee upon the ha up stalls, forced her hate treat, while it was rain, and told her abs WAS P them. She, ho tend her mind, and took her to the abbess*. The coostable ' et the night refused to take the charge, Ad was deaf to the poor gbre entreaty, that as an act of charity he could permit her to remits the% until Ste morning. " After I left the watch.house," said the young women to 111 r. Rawlinson, '‘ 1 had no friend at hand but tbe watchmen and Almighty Go. I asked the watchman to let weak In his box, but lid would not, so 1 sat &erosive() the step till ftve o'clock, when a washerwoman, who SAW me let ad cold, took me home, lighted a Ere, and gave me two cups of het tea. which saved me from dying' Mr.. David denied having assaulted her (the girl's clothes bore strong evidence to the tontrary). She said she opened the door and rh.rved her out, and took her to the watch-houses In consequence of her abusive language ; and so far from compelling her to sleep in the street, she told her in the watch-house she mi*ht go back If she pleased. Mr. Rswt.arsoo, to the girl—Then 1 think you were wrong In mot going back. Bridget, with great surprise—What ! after using me so cruelty, should I go back to her? Mr. RAWLIXiON, to Mrs. David-1 think with the young wo olen, that she has been treated with great cruelty ; you must make her some recompense, or fled ball. it was then arranged that the girl should receive wages up to the 14th of November, and ids. in consideration of the assault. Mr. RAW LITISON asked Bridget if the was all she required? Bridget, after pausing—Oh no—s character, your Honour. Mrs. David said, she did not think she could give her a charac ter; she was honest, bat she was much too familiar with the man servant. " ind that. your honeur,"said a good-looking Irishman behind, who proved to be *ld cousin—" too intimate with the man servant, and she wanted her to go to hed in the same room ! ! !" Mr. RAW LI KSOS toldilrs. David he thought her story cat both ways; she must twit act vindictively, but she must give bee a jest character. Bridget's cousin promised to take care of her till she got amid* place, and they left the nifiee, but they soon returned, tee 1111. David refused teiseve Bridget the money, or let her enter the Messee for her clothes. Instantly an officer was sent to hike Mrs. David a • second time into custody, which broughthlr. David to his recollee- Son, for he then paid the money and gate up the clothes. tiEtsr-SQUARE:—Yestertlay Joseph Gardiner underwent a final examination before W. A. A. WHITE, Esq. on a charge of stabbing a watchman named Samuel Knight, on the 11th instant. The prosecutor, who still appears extremely ill and weak from his wounds, gave the following account of the &Hide. He stated, that on seeing the prisoner in Tart's-row, Chelsea, flourishing a shoemalcer's knife, he, at the request of some persons, went up to him, and, gently tapping him oat the shoulder, urged him, in the mildest manner, to give' it ttp, when, without a reply, he instantly plunged the knife into his side and thigh ; he continued to struggle wilt him until he swooned from lowa of blood, and when he came to himself, he found that he was in St. George's Hospital, attended br medical gentlemen, who dreaeed his wounds. 31r. WEITZ asked the prisoner what he had to say in his defence ? His reply was, that having been irritated and Insulted by a mob of persons. he had armed himself with a knife for protection, when the prosecutor coming up at the time, and striking him, he ad mitted having used the knife. The prosecutor denied positively having offered the slightest vio knee or having in any way ill-treated him. Mr. WHITE told the prisoner that he felt it his duty to commit him for trial, and unless he could produce better evidence, he thought lie stood a fair chance of being punished. TLe prisoner was accordingly fully committed to Newgate for trial under Lord Ellenborough's Act. WOASHIP-3TREET.—Yesterday the time of the Magistrate was wholly ozcupied in hearing evidence and legal arguments on a series of informations against several persons, members of the congregation of " Independent Calvinists," of Cumberland-street Chapel, Shoreditch, by the Rev. Mr. Smith. their late pastor. The proceedingain which the information originated appeared to be the following:-- - Rev. lilt. Smith (of Hatton-garden, said also to be a Dr. of Me dicine as well as of Divinity) had for the last two years been an ad mired preacher, at the Chapei above mentioned, until some time since some unfortunate misunderstanding arose between the con gregation and their pastor, and Induced the resignation of the latter. A day or two after this event, a placard was exhibited in the win dows of many of the congregation, suiting that the Trustees of Cumberland Chapel "felt peculiar pleasure" in announcing to their friends and the public, that Dr. Smith had no more to do with the Chapel ; and that thenceforth neither pains nor expense would be spared to procure the very beet preachers. This placard proved highly offensive to the Rev. Gentleman and his friends ; and there being no printer's name attached to it, inihrinations were laid against twenty-tire defendants for publishing the placard with out the printer's name and aildresa, century to the Statute, add* subjects the offender to a penalty of 201. en each placard. The office was crowded Ghoughout yesterday with defendants and witnesses. *Mr. BUiritlf,"'ffent Mr.lllrtlier's Office, "appeared in trupport of the information; and dlr. ALLEY attended as Counsel for seve ral of the defendants. Previously to the cases Ireing-mteted upon, an offer of accommo dation was made by the corriplanant's Solicitor, and the principal parties, retired to negotiate in private. After a short absence, how ever, they returned, unable to arrange their difference'', and the pro ceedings were resumed. Four Informations were successively heard against Mr. Fox, one of the trustee* of the Chapel. In each case it was proved by Mr. Richard Smith, a military oflieer, and brother of the complainant, that he had obtained the four placards from the persons in whose windows they were exhi bited. Those individuals proved having received them from Mr. Fox. kir. ALLET, for the defendant, raised various objections to the informations, which were reserved for further consideration. Several other cases were afterwards called on, and the defendants convicted, subject, however, to the points reserved in favour of Mr. Alley's clients. An information against a pevson named Ford, a barber, being tailed on, it WAS stated by Air. Smith that the information was laid against him, because he refused to state from whom he had received it, and said Mr. Smith (punning upon the defendant's oc cupation) was burlrerousln uncivil. The defendant retorted the charge of incivility upon Mr. Smith, who, he said, had represented himself as coming from Worship street, to get the placard. The Magistrate expressed great surprise at this statement, and called upon Mr. Smith to explain. Mr. Smith said that he went into the defendant's shop, and asked to see the placard, and when handed to him, he put It in his pocket ; but the defendant abused him, and refused to let him take it away. He did then say he had come from Worship-street. and lie had, in fact, just come through that street, but he had never re. presented himself as coming from the office. Mr. BENETT regarded the explanation as far from satisfactory, and dismissed the information. -Several of the defendants now became clamorous, and said the placards had been obtained from them in a similar manner. The Magistrate declared that every case where it appeared such conduct had been used should be dismissed. THAMES POLICE.—A young man, who gave his name William Brown, and a boy who said his name to John Roberts, were put to the bar, charged with having In their possession four new counter. felt sovereigns, forty new counterfeit shillings, and one old counter feit shilling, under the following circumstances. Mr. Powell, the Solicitor of the Mint, attended. Thomas Mitchell, surveyor, stated that in consequence of infor mation he had received, he sent Fog, an officer of this establish ment, on Tuesday morning, to watch the prisoner Brown, and another person ; he went into the Nag's (lead, on Tower-hill; he had been thereabout an hour, when the prisoner Brown came into the parlour and seemed as if waiting for wine one :Ina few minute! afterwards, Fog brought the boy Roberts in with him, in company with Green, another officer ; the moment Brown saw the boy ,Ininght in by *Nag, be attempted to escape. Green then searched and foiled OR hint the oil-cloth parcel now produced, eon four soveralgis and forty-one shillings. He asked the boy Arnim he goalie mpg i the boy, pointing t.. the prisoner Brown, " I got Chita teem eVrother." Brown immedistely turned mad, ate looking at the boy. said " What's that you say, eh'? I doss'; know 'a k a 4 , The boy' afterwards said that he got them from a man in Miitechapel. Mitchell further stated that the prisoners are brothers, which he should be able to prove; and that Brown's wife or woman was only just after getting cut of Clerken. weß prison, charged with the same offence. Fox stated that he was stet to observe the prisoner, Brown, and another person, snd he observed the boy and Brown for more titan an hour; he had followetlthem through a great number of courts and allEys, and at last traced them into the Nag's Head, Tower. hill. He followed them in, and found the boy Roberts behind the I door in the asp-rocm. Ile asked where the man was who had en. tered the house with him. The boy denied that any person had entered the house with him. Fox then took him into the parlour, where he found Mitchell and the prisoner Brown. Green, who was with him, searched the boy, end found on tutu the money now pro duced, which was proved to be counterfeit ; but admirably well ex ecuted, and particularly the sovereigns. Mr. BALLANTINE asked the prisoner did he wish to say any thing; at the sametime cautioning him against doing so, as it might be very prejudicial to him elsewhere. The prisoner said, he should tell the truth, no matter what might be the consequence. He said, that on Monday fortnight he was passing through East Smithfield, when he met a Jew, who seemed to observe him very closely, 104 followed him for some time; end on coming up to him, he said (mimicking him), " Ah I vy you are the very man I vent to see; come and have a glass of gin." He Im. mediately accepted the Jew's invitation ; they accordingly adjourned to the Nag's Hind, where the Jew asked him, " Could lie raise any money ? If be cook), he would put him in the way of making a fortune, as he we a smuggling merchant, who was in the habit of bringing goods from France, and which, if he would undertake to sell them, be would MOE handsomely by them, and he desired him to call on him ou the Sunday following. whit he did ; he said that he resided at No. 4, Mile.yard, Caple-street ; his name is Brent, and be keep; • house of ill-fame. He had appointed to meet him at the Nag's Head yesterday (Tuesday), and he thought it was for the . purpose of giving some of the go ods to sell; but what was his astonishment, on being tai iii Into custotly,to find the Jew in company with the officers ? It was quite clear that it was a conspiracy Ile denied contradicting the boy when be sahl that he was his brother. However, the officers insisted that he did. Mr. BALLANTINE said, that he was very happy that there was a breech of faith among such people. for it was the only means by which this nefarious trade could be but a stop to. The prisoner requested that the Jew might be examined. Mitchell said he should produce him in a momedt. Mr. BALLANTINE said that lie should not examine the Jew, but the prisoner might have the bens' of his evidence at his trial. Mitchell stated that the fact was. that Brown had attempted to sell the money to the Jew, and the usual way in which these traffickers in base coin carry nn their business is, they never have the money in their own possession, they are always in the habit of having • little boy after them, anti when the bargain is made for the see of at, the boy hands the money to the purchaser, thereby endeavouring to cart the principal criminal from detection.

Mr. Fowet.t., the solicitor of the Mint, requested the attendance of all the witnesses before the Grand Jury, at the Old Dailey, this morning. UNION-ItAl.t.—Vestinlav, a man named &hefad, who - de scribed himself as a fruit salesman, wart brought before the sitting Magistrate, charged with exciting a disturbance in the Coburg theatre on the previous night, and with having assaulted a Mrs. Moses, of the Jewish persuasion. From the statement of the complainant, it appeared that on the preceding right she went to the Coburg theatre, accompanied by her husband, Who withdrew for a short time, leaving her sitting in the pit. During his ale.ence, the defendant intruded himself, and insisted on having the vacant seat, notwithstanding Mrs. Moses told him it belonged to her husband, whom she expected back every moment. The defendant, however. determined on taking preten sion of it, sat himself doun, and commenced in a atrdln of the most vulgar language, in the trite bendenhall.market style, to abuse tha poor woman, calling her an ugly idol Jewish b—, and vowing, that were all Christians like himself, not one of that persuasion but should be exterminat/1 from fhe lace of the earth. During the dis turbines caused by the defendant's conduct the performance was impended. and a general cry of " turn him out' proceeded from all parts of the house. Mr. Moses entered the pit during this scene of confusion; when the defendant, observing that he was the person whore seat he had so unceremonious) taken possession ot,reiterated his former denunciations against all Jews, and stripped off his coat to have a set-to, "a /a end.," with pony Mr. Moses, who, it ap peared, was no fighting roan, and he, therefore, lustily joined the cho'us of" turn him out." Mr. Selwood was at length turned out of the theatre, hut before his exit he turned round, and, in a cow. ardly manner, gave Mrs. Moses a blow, for which he was taken off :et the watch-house, and kept there until he procured bail for hii appearance at this office. The Renault having been sworn to, the fruit salesman. in his de. fence,endeavoured to prove an alibi, by calling a young woman to swear that he was not in the theatre at the time the circumstances in question were said to have occurred, but, unfortunately for him, haying failed in producing such evidence as to the credibility of that fact, he was ultimately bed to bail for tbs assault. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Sutctow.—Yesterday tnerning an Inquest was held at the sign of the Fountain, King-street, St. Giles's, before Thos. Stirling. Esq. Coroner, to inquire, into the circumstances connected with the death of Win. Luff, who was found hanging in his bedroom on Monday morning. The deceased, a few years back, figured in the parish of St. Giles's ass conspicuous character; he kept the house in which the inquest was lieldeupwards of IS years, (luring which time it was used constantly by the beggars in the metropolis as a general resort and place of assembling together, and went by the name of the " Beg gars' Opera." The deceased was allowed by all who knew him to be quite equal o the government of his company, from the decisive and deter mined nature of his conduct. Hard drinking, loss of trade, and family disputes, obl;ged him to leave the. house about four years back, since which time he lived upon the remainder of what pro perty he had left, which being totally exhausted about the month of May last, he became so much distressed, that his wife was obliged to leave him, and go to service. The Jury being impanelled, the following evidence was given : Joseph Dail, jun. deposed that he lived with his father, who is a pork-butcher, at No. 7, King-street, Seven-dials. The deceased was a ludger in his father's house, and he had known him about four years. Witness went up stairs about one o'clock on Monday to call the deceased to dinner, found his room door shut, and opened the door without knocking or calling. and mw the deceased suspended by a line tied to the bed-post. He was dead, and nearly cold ; but could not have been dead long, as he saw him alive about half an hour before. %Vinton cut him down immediately he 1141/' him, and Mr. Hill, a surgeon, was sent for, who attempted to bleed him, but could only get a few drops. The declased enjoyed very good health . previous to his death ; and witness could not account for his comm itting the act, but had observed, within the last month, that he frequently betrayed great stmence of wind ittbis conver sation. Mr. Thomas Hill, of No. 4, High . street, Bloomsbury : surgeon, . . his family when he kept the above house, an ri res — d7e7f . hest seen him intoxicated ; was called epos to attend him about one o'clock on Monday. and found him lying on a bed at No. 7, King street, apparently dead. Ile attempted to him: him, and to excite the action of the lungs, but without affect. Mr. Rickard Jarvis, landlord of the Fountain public-house, stated, that the deceased had, during the time he had known him, been in the itebit of drinking to excess, bet latterly he had not been in possessio not the means to indulge himself in his propensity; he was in his house a short time previous to his death, nod appeared I in good health. When lie went out he said to Mr. Evens, one of his lodgers, who was standing at the door, " Evans, I am quite out of my mind and don't know what to do with myself." Suon after he was informed the deceased had hung himself. A Juror stated that on Monday morning the deceased went to the Bank to inquire about some stock, and upon being informed that it was all gone, returned to his lodgings much disappointed. The Coroner and Jury proceeded to take a view of the body.— The deceased appeared to have been a very powerful men, between fifty and sixty years of age, and about five feet eight inches in height, with a vety bold expression of countenance. He had cut off mart of the bed-cord of the bed on which he lay to accomplish his purpose, and must have been very determined in committing the act, the bed-post from which he suspended himself being only four feet high. The Jur7 shortly deliberated, and returned a verdict, " That the deccaseu hung himself in a tit of temporary derangement." MELANCHOLY SClClDE.—Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Walbrook Free School, Ili, Walbrook, near the Man sion-house, before Thomas Shelton, Eeq. Coroner, on the body of Mr. William Mantaule, a gentleman in the Idw, lately residing at No. 28. Walbrnek. Mr. George Mantaule, jun, deposed, that on Tuesday morning last, about eight o'clock, he was in his apartment sitting at the breakfast-table, in the expectation of having his father's company, when he heard the voice of his sister making an alarm that her father had hung himself. Witness immediately proceeded up stairs to his father's bed-room, where he found his sister in a fainting state, and the deceased suspended by a silk handkerchief from the bed-post. He called for assistance, and procuring a knife, cut down the deceased, and sent fur a surgeon. Dr. fleadiagton ar rived and rendered every assistance, but the deceased had breathed his last. For some time past witne:s had observed a strange altera tion in the manners and conduct of the deceased, which he attri buted to his having met with considerable misfortunes in life, which led him occasionally to indulge in excessive drinking, which had the effect of causing a despondency of mind. He was fifty years of age, and latterly had held a situation as clerk in the office of Mr. Collins, of Queen-square. Miss Mantaule. the daughter of the deceased, deposed that she was in the habit of calling her father every morning at 8 o'clock, to his breakfast. On entering the room, on Tuesday morning, she found him suspended to the bed-post. Her brother came up and cut him down ; her father, in her opinion, was downed in his in tellect. Here the unfortunate young lady was so overcome by her feelings that she could not proceed with her evidence, and the Jury forbore putting questions to her, and she was supported out of the SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
