MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. CORONER'S INQUEST.. It is our painful duty to record a most distrening event which occurred at Eton yesterday se'nnight. The melancholy particulars will be best collected from the following report of the Coroner's Inquest : An inquisition was held on Monday last, at the Christopher Inn, Eton. before John Chnrsley, Esq. one of the Coroners for the county of Bucks, in consequence of the lamentable death of the Rev. Edwin Rallied. The Jury was composed of re. spectable tradesmen of Eion ; and Mr. William Webb was appointed Foreman. Previous to the Jury viewing the body the Coroner briefly addressed them. It was their duty to inquire whether the deceased came to his death by his own act, and if so, whet was his state of mind previous to that act. It had been discovered that self-destruction was often the first overt-act of insanity. We were warranted in this belief by the scriptural eap►ession, " nu one hateth his own flesh." It was better, erring on the side of humanity, to assent to this opinion, even if there was any doubt of the predisposing cause of such an unhappy event. But. on the contrary, if there were us) doubt—if the Jury believed that en act of suicide bad been committed wilfelly, and ins stale or sanity, they would d scherge that painful duty winch the laws of their country imposed upon them. The Coroner and Jury then proceeded to view the body, at the house of Mr. Binfield, High street, Eton. The spectacle was one of the most affecting nature. We pass over the melancholy details, merely observing that the previous train of thinking of the unfortunate gentleman became to us an object of interest, and t►tat we looked at the books which remained open upon his study table precisely as he had left them. They were, " Theo erirrs"—" ANaeharsis' Travels," and •I SfiUitsg fleet's Origiwrs Sacra. ;" and no passage which the unhappy gentleman appeared to have been reading had the remotest reference to the feelings which might lead to a deliberate act of suicide. The Jury having returned to the Christopher lon. the examination of witnesses proceeded. John Lewis deposed that he was servant to Lord Craven, and was in attendance at Eton upon hie Lordship's three sons, and upon the deceased. The young Gentlemen only arrived, for the first time, at Etoo, on Saturday, where they were placed un der the care of the deceased, who came on Friday. On Sunday morning, about seven o'clock, Mr. Halted, accompanied by the three young Gentle men. went out. The deceased returned and break. fasted at his lodgings, and witness heard him say, • that the young Gentlemen were to breakfast with a waster of Eton school, and then be examined. After bmkfast the deceased dressed himself, and went to church. When lie returned, about one o'clock, " he smiled in his own countenance." but witness, " thought there was a change—he looked melancholy." About two the young Gentlemen went to dinner, and the deceased went to his own room, wring he should dine out at six. Witness remained dawn stairs till six o'clock, expecting to be called, and surprised that Mr. Halhed did not ring. He then went up, and found the parlour and lid-room doors shut. He opened the bed-room door and there saw the deceased lying, as seen by the Jury, quite dead and pale, and a razor in his right hand. Mr. Halhed had been tutor to the three young Gentlemen about six or seven years. During the last month witness has occasionally disis covered a melancholy frown on his countenance, which be cannot attribute to any particular circum stance. He had not given lets satisfaction to Lord Cruets. and be was beloved by every body. On Sunday morning the deceased did not speak es usual to witneve, looking very dull. Ou the pre vious Saturday he look.d as usual. The Rev. Henry Michell Wagner deposed, that on Sunday last, about twenty minutes put .en, he accompanied the deceased to the house of the Rev. Mr. Green, to hest that Gentleman's re port, as school tutor, ~f the examination of Lord Craven's son.. Mr. Green. without making any remark, 'bewail Mr. Halhed the exercises which they h;.d written. The deceased observed that the productions were inferior to what he had been sr eurtsmed to see. He evinced an unusual degree of disappointment. It *as suggested they should at tend service at St. George's Chapel, and witness left, expecting Mr. Hallied to follow him. After waiting some little time, witness returned to Mr. Green'', when decepsed said. " Indeed I should have forgotten church. altogether. I was so absorb ed in the Interest of the boys."—[Mr. Wagner here stated, that three letters had been found at the ludgings of the deceased, evidently written by him on Sunday, under great depression of mind.] The Coroner amid this evidence could not be re ceived, unless the letters were produced. Mr. Wagner also stated, that a cousin of the de ceased bad lately told him the deceased was look ing ill, which lie believed was owing to his anxiety about the boys. Mr. Wagner has known the de ceased about fifteen mond.* ; he was in correspond ence with him, and thinks lie manifested a remark able and even unnecessary degree of anxiety about his pupils. _ . The Rev. George Romney Green deposod, that the three sins 'of Lord Craven were with him, on Sudsy weenies, from half-past seven to u quarter past ten, foe the purpose of being examined pre- Pester, to their entrance at Eton School. The boys were employed writing each an exercise. About a quarter past ten, Mr. Halhed cjme in nee what progress they bad made. Upon look in; at their exercises the deceased expressed him self disappointed. He asked if that was all they had done ; and said, " they had done better with him." Witness replied, "He thought the boys had demi es well as could be expected, considering their situation; he was a stranger to them, and they were perhaps under the influeuceof slum. They had been slow, but very correct." Witness walked to Etoo witbdeceased, after morn ing service at St. George's Chapel. The deceased frequently expressed great anxiety about his pupils. After a pause, witness endeavoured to change the subject, asking deceased if be knew who would be the new Warden of New College ? His answer ass in an altered tone, and with an altered look, and Ins words were to this purport:—" I don't troubl e myself about these things now—my mind II solely occupied by my boys." Witness was star. ~~ t a l i: ladMi!O prised at the answer, ■nd asked deceased another question, to which he replied in a very low and fah. tering voice. He was evidently much depressed. The deceased resumed the subject of his pupils before they parted in College. Mr. John Stratford, surgeon, of Eton, was called to the deceased about via o'clock on Sunday eve ning. and on entering the chamber found hint quite dead, the body lying as viewed by the Jury. The jugular vein and the external carotid artery were divided, and • dreadful haemorrhage had ensued, which woe the cause of his death. Mr. Stratford, in answer to a question from the Coro ner, stated, that it was very natural and probable that any serious disappointment or intense anxiety would produce a great depression of spirits, and so disturb the mind as to be a sufficient cause of tem porary derangement. The Jury having consideted that it was none. cessary to examine any oilier witnesses, the Coroner shortly addressed ahem. They deliberated a few minutes, ■nd then delivered their verdict—" That the deceased came by his death .by his own hand, in a fit of temporary derangement." Letters dated Wednesday, from Paris, state that the fall of the funds which took place ou that day was caused by a rumour that the postponement of the Doke of WaLLturrrox's departure for Con gress arose solely from political motives; and that England, prompted by zeal in behalf of conatutui. tional liberty in Spain, meditated an entire separe. ton from the Holy Alliance.—( Evening Paper.)

[From the I)aseasler Gaulle.] • Since the first establishment of our races there has not been a meeting at which more compsoy, better sport, or more favourable weather, his been witnessed than the present. To do ample justice to the diversions of the week, and to convey to such of our readers as were not present on the occasion an adequate idea of the amusements and piety of the town, we fest we should be trespassing more on their patience than woold be agreeable, or the li mits of our Paper would allow. We shall, there. fore, be contented to give a brief sketch of the whole. The excellent and well-contested racing which had been long anticipated, pod the matches run on the day of entry, brought a considerable number of sporting gentlemen into the town at a much earlier period than is usual. The weather almost unequalled at any former period, and the early state of the harvest, also contributed greatly to the increase of the visitor., and in point of number and respectability, we never witnessed the town so over. flowingly full. On Monday and Wednesday the course presented a scene of unprecedented numbers, and the beauty and fashion which graced the lower, and the closely packed gentlemen of the upper part of the grand stand, rendered the specta cle both imposing ■ud unique. The number of individuals upon the stand was estimated at no less than upwards of 1,200. Indeed, such was the appearance and effect of all, that several sporting Gentlemen from the south, who have been unac customed to attend our races, expressed their asto nishment and admiration at the immense concourse of people—the superior accommodation generally afforded—the excellent sport, and the order and regularity with which the whole was conducted; and they declared that no meeting in the kingdom could exceed that of Doncaster. Twenty-three horses started for the Great St. Leger, and from the compact body in which they moved from their first starting to their coming in, the variety of co lours, and the anxiety which it created, rendered is at once the most pleasing and nteresting ace that can be well imagined. His Royal Highn ss the Duke of Sussex, who has been on a visit at Cantley, the seat of M. A. Tay:br, EN. honoured the grand stand with his presence on the three first days, and seemed highly gratified with the sport. His Royal Highness was received with that mark of respect which is due to so illustrious a per sonage. The diversions and amusements of the week were various. In addition to the races, the assemblies, theatre, concerts, and exhibitions of all kinds, have contributed their share to enliven the meeting. The assemblies were numerously and fashionably attended ; and on Wednesday evening amongst the company his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex war present, attended by the fa. fully and visitors at Cawley. His Royal Highness was dressed in a plain blue coat, wearing his star and garter. Whilst noticing the different smusements, we must not neglect to make mention of the exertions of the worthy manager of the theatre, whose enter prising spirit has entitled him as well to the support of strangers as our own town's folk and neighbours, and, we are happy to state, that the houses have been deservedly well attended; the company and the regulations have received the decided approba tion of the visitants, and every night has closed with the utmost satisfaction and harmony. The concerts given at the Mansion-house, on Tuesday, by Signor Spegnole►ti, leader of the Opera, in London, and under the patronage of the Earl of Scarbrough, afforded a treat to musical amateurs of the highest description. Of the performance of persons of such celebrity as Madame Ronei de Begins, Signora Grsziani, Signor de Bevis, Signor Turri, Mr. Kellner, and Signor Spagnoletti. any comment seems unnecessary. Such an assemblage of transcendent musical talent seems requisite to give effect to the grand and elaborate compositions of the Italian school, and, from the rapturous ap. plausee of an audience, noless distinguished by cul tivated taste than high rank, we were happy to see such talent justly appreciated. To crown the sport of the week, to-day the famous foot race of four miler, between Halton and A,hton, for a stake of 400 e. a-side, is fixed to be run over our course at one o'clock. The multitude of people who are hourly arriving from Lancashire, and other parts, to witness the race. we are told, is almost beyond belief. Such a meeting has Doncaster never before experienced, and we think, front the example we have just had before us, we may safely pronounce it, without being charged with vanity, as standing at the head of all the races in the world. The Stewards, T. Duncombe, Esq. jon. and the Hon. William &bright breedles (acting for his brother, the Hon. Henry Laserlles, now abroad) gave universal satisfaction fur the very spirited man ner its which the proceeding. were conducted. The gold cup is certainly as magnificent sod splendid as any we have ever seen. The equipages of the Earl of Harewood, Mrs. Beaumont, Lord Scar. brough, Sir Henry Carr Ibberson, Bart., Sir Joseph Radcliffe, C. Wy n n, Esq. Sir John Kay, J. A. S. Wortley, Esq. Captain Stuart, wills many others, were on the ground. We regretted the absence of our venerable snit most liberal supporter of the turf, Earl Fitzwillion, and Lord Milton (arising from a recent domestic affliction), and whose pre sence for many years added a splendour to our Amongst the company we noticed— .

From the interminable number of horse., car. ridges, and vehicle• of all descriptiosis, ruoloung in every direction, we might have feared briefly acci dents, but are happy to mote that none material haVe occurred b and the very satisfactory attendance of the of f icers from-Bow -street, Irate no doubt, been a prevention against many depredations which might have been committed. We hive only heard of one Gentleman, Mr. Badger, of Rotherham, soli c itor. who has had his pocket picked of • valuable gold watch, whilst iii front of the Grain] Stand, at the time the Gold Cup was exhibited. The excellent band of the Queen's bays, from York barracks, were in attendance on the ground, •ud delighted the company with • variety of populist pieces between the heats. Our new exercising ground has been viewed by many of the Gentlemen connected with the tuil; and they decided that it is not inferior as a training ground either to Newmarket or Mirldleham. The number of tickets sold at the Gad Stand on Monday exceeded, by upwards of fifty, the amount for the whole week of any precedi►►g racer. The Hon. T. Dundas and J. Lowther, Esq. ate appointed Stewa►ds for the ensuing races. The Duke of Sussex left our races yesterday for Newstead Abbey, Notts, on a visit to Col. Wild. man, and will proceed from thence to Mr. Coke's, Norfolk, ou his return to the metropolis. COWES, SIPTEMBER 20. ROYAL YACHT CLUB. This distinguished Maritime Society had its fifth general assemblage on Monday the 1611, instant, but the weather proving calm, the yachts lay at anchor in Cowes Roadstead the whole day, though not in listless iaaeliaity, for it was observable that the practice of the new Signal Code seemed to oc copy the time of the several Members; with the minutest attention. On Tuesday the 17th instant, • fresh breeze from the East having sprung up, the Hon. C. A. Pelham, in his ship Falcon, at 9 a.m. hoisted Blue Peter, as a preparatory, and at 10 o'clock, on a gun being fired from the ship, the several members rowed from their yachts to the Falcon, to receive the Commodore's instructions. Having rejoined their yachts, at 11 o'clock the sig nal to weigh was made, and, with an alacrity only equalled by his Majesty's ships of war, the fleet were seen instantly getting up anchors, and watching the motions of the Commodore, who presently hoisted the signal to form line. The yachts having taken their respective stations, the squadron beat up towards Spitheed and the east end of the Bram bles, the Fake* making the signal for the second evolution, viz. to change the order of sailing to two columns, the fleet wore and run large, in two columns, the starboard line being led by Mr. Powell's schooner Briton, and the larboard by Lord Deethurst's achoouer Mary; pursuing a course to the northward of the Brambles (during which time the squadron was joined by Admiral S;r James H. Whitahed, io his cutter Sylph), the yachts were seen to enter Soathatnploo Water, and pro ceeding as high as Netley Abbey, presented a most imposing appearance. The Commodore then tacking, ordered the single line to be resumed, and the maoceuvres down the liver formed a lively contrast to the effect of the squadron when running. The Commodore making for Cowes, • second time hoisted the signal for a double line to be formed, and at about six, p.m. the squadron anchored in 'the roads. This meeting affords a proof of the rapid advance of nautical science in the amateurs of sailing; and though the season begins to draw to • close, yet the assemblage of sixteen vessels skews the spirit with which this laud. able amusement is pursued. The following are the names of the vessels Falai., Hon. C. A. Pelham; Mary, lord Deerborst; Briton, Mr. Powell; Roby, Sir Geo rge Le e d s: E xper i meet , Mr. Shkspeare• Lard of the Isles, M r .

NEWPORT, SEPTEMBER 21.—ELOPEMENT.— A young lady of respectability. whose name we decline mentioning, eloped from her father's &rel. ling on Monday. wish an officer of Albany bar rack., and has not been heard of since. The whole of the valuable materials and fittings up of those extensive stables. known by the name of the Queen's stables, adjoining Buckingham Palace, a e to be *old by auction forthwith, by order of the Surveyor-General, to make room for the new Meer, the building of which is already begun. The alter ations and additions to the new library at Bucking ham Palace are completed, sod it is now as elegant and commodious • library as any in Eng land. A grand Mews is building at Pimlico. It com mences at the stables known by the name of the Duke of York's, and will proceed considerably higher than the Riding House, which is to come down. The termination of the new Mews will be very close to the Palace at Pimlico. A great space of the garden is required for it. Ott Tuesday the Provincial Grand Lodge of Freemasons of the county of Dorset, was holden at Dorchester, at which the R.W.P.G.M. W. WIL LIAMS, Esq. M.P. presided. THE COMET.—A letter front Florence says, that the small comet discovered on the 13th of July, in Cassiupes, by M. PONS, is now visible to the caked eye—that on the evening of the 22d of August, it was at the distance of 37 degrees from the pole of the northern hemisphere, near the Drags*, and that in the course of a lea days it will pars into Hercules.—(Freach Paper.) The pyramid of the Cathedral of Rouen was 396 felt high. There were 600 steps in the ascent to the summit; the wood work required 3,472 pieces of tituber for its coMpletion. The cross was 16 feet high, and weighed 1,540 pounds, exclusive of the iron, which was about 313 pounds.
