THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, August 30 [THE TIMES. 7 The Paris Papers of Tuesday have little Spanish news which is not a repetition, of that which we gave in our last from the Moniteur of Monday. A letter dated from Port St. Mary on the I7th, states that the Duke or Angouleme had that day reviewed his troops, who were full of ardour for the attack, and that every thing was ready for commencing the bombardment, if the Cortes refuse to submit. The Quotidienne says, the Prince had allowed only f 24 hours for the submission, and that it was probable that the capitulation was about to take place. There is a seport of Milans and Lloberas having beaten Eroles near Calaf. We would direct attention to the description which is elsewhere given of the Military Aca demy in the United States.—(See another column of 'f;u Sum).—The inferences which may be drawn as to its results upon the army and udli- trey character of the Republic we leave to the great personages who take upon themselves the management of the British Army. It is true that England also pays, and pretty largely, for an in stitution professing to be of the same tendency and uses ; but without going into minor differ ences we shall be content to point out one. In America no young man can obtain a commission who has not completed with credit his course of four years at the Academy. In England not only can money and Court interest obtain commissions and rapid promotion in the army, but sometimes youths who have acquitted themselves honourably at the College, and whose families have distressed themselves to pay the necessary expences attending it, are left long enough without either commission or promotion, being told that it is for " the good of the service" that minions of birth or fortune, however personally worthless, should be prefer red to less favoured candidates. This may be a good aristocratic-al principle, we acknowledge ; but, like other such principles, it is too barba rous for the age, and only betrays the inward weakness of the cause which appeals to it for protection.—(ibid.) [stonNiNo cnnoxicr.E.] The following information may be relied on, as derived from an authentic. source :—" Major General Velasco, one of the most decided Con stitntion Leaders, on the treason of Abishal, re moved from Madrid, where he was residing on half.pay, to Badajoz, in which place he was shortlyoafterwards joined by the Marquess of Castledosimo, a Grandee of Spain of the first class, LientemintsGenera I in the army, and second COnarnand in that under A bisbal, consequently Commander in Chief of the Patriots when the ether deserted. lle retired ut the I►ead of * division of from three to 4,000 men, ve teran troops, at the period when Major General ' m ope?: Banos embarked with his divisor), about 3,000 men, at Huelva, for Cadiz, and, was joined by 1,500 excellent cavalry, under Major-General Aforitemavor, a distinguished and experienced officer. the Constitutional feeling of the Estre merms has long been known ; it is perhaps the only province in Spain where no servile faction has been formed. This is, no doubt, owing to the clergy being true to their oaths. With such materials it was expected, and most probably intended, a division should be formed to operate on the right and rear of the French, whilst en gaged in Granada, Jaen, Malaga, Murcia, &c. against Ballasteros, Zayas, Torrijos, Dominguez, and others, of whom the French official accounts have as yet made no mention, but who will also in time be acknowledged " to be in force ;" and in union with time militia of Caceres and Truxillo, and volunteers of Estronaidura, make a movement in combination with El Empecinado, the Guerilla Chief, by the mountains of Toledo on Madrid, over turn the ephenierical Regency, act in the rear of the French, and in support of the troops from Ga licia under General Vigo, should they find it t►e cessary to retreat. The latest advices brought by the Lisbon packet state General Velasco to be at the head of this corps d'arm6e, and that he bad put himself in march for the above objects, and we anticipate that by this time he has been at Madrid, struck the death-blow to despotism in Spain, and realized the fears of Oudinot and Bourck for their communication and resources, which, no doubt, are alluded to in the late dis. patches, and which has led to this explanation." [NEW TIMES.j We have received the Paris Papers, of Wed nesday, which, however, add nothing to the in telligence which before had reached ns. Cadiz is expected tosurrender. " What has passed at Commit) ,",says the Quotidienne," when coupled with the previous submission of BALLASTEROS, authorises 0 to believe that the factious of Cadiz are , seriously bent to break the fetters of king Ferdinand. For the interest of humanity, we hope. that those men who hive infringed on the liberty of their Sovereign, convinced at length of their situation, will shortly cease to display a resistance which is no longer useful ; but if they persevere in their infatuation, we have only t o wish that the operations of the siege may not be delayed. The arrival of his Royal Highness at Port St. Mary ought to hasten the capitulation, or enforce the chastisement of the rebels. The Prince Generalissimo has granted them twenty four hours for deliberation, and it is probable that, the xapitulation, has , already taken place..lf events have turned out otherlise, the reduction of Cadiz, may, be awhile deferred, but' it is not the less certain. The bravery of our soldiers, and also , ofour.t»ariners, heightened by the presence of a Son of France, must render such a result id evitable." _ • [MORNING HERALD.] Wednesday's Paris Papers reached us last night by express. They contain but little to satisfy curiosity respecting the affairs in Spain. There is no intelligence from Corunna. It could hardly have been expected, indeed, as the sus• pension of arms was agreed upon for five days, in order to allow time for the return of the officers dispatched to Morillo. The accounts from Cadiz, or rather from the Gate St. Mary, are of the 17th instant. The Duke d'Angouleme had already been 24 hours arrived there, and had done nothing but reviewed his troops, There is not a word of arrangement or negociation proposed on either side. The demi-official notice in the Journal des iNbals, which usually precedes a dispatch in due form in the Moniteur, states that immense preparations were made, and the troops full of ardour for the attack, unless the Cortes imme diately submitted.—This does not look like ne gociation. It is true that there is in the expres sion relative to the Cortes, an implication that a proposal for their submission bad been made to them by the French Generalissimo. But it might have been nothing more than the ordinary summons delivered to all besieged places by the French Ge nerals. The accounts from Madrid are of the 21st, and state nothing of any interest ; perfect tranquil lity is said to prevail there; and the 2 Decrees of the Duke d'Angouleme and the Regents, for the release of Constitutional prisoners, are de scribed as being carried into effect with the most edifying concert and moderation.—lt was, there fore, it appears, with reason that we discredited the report of the Duke's being compelled, by a threat of the Foreign Ambassador's, to withdraw his Decree, and leave to the Regents once more the power of indulging their own vengeance and that of their partisans. They have, however, gained a point. The Duke of Infantado, their President, and another member, their Minister, or mock Minister, of War, go to the Duke of Angouleme's bead-quarters before Cadiz. — There was still fighting and constant ma ncetivring in Catalonia. Eroles is even stated to have been routed—a most probable thing, but to have been saved by a reinforcement of French. The one great point, however, of the Peninsula, to which all eyes will now turn, is Cadiz. The elements of resistance are almost all concentrated there, and many days cannot pass beFore we shall be enabled to determine in what manner the catastrophe is likely to be brought about— whether by negociation or by force. [BRITISH PRESS.] There has been no arrival at our office of any Papers later than those of Wednesday, which we anticipated yesterday. The Constitutional troops in Catalonia seem to have again carried terror and alarm to the frontiers of France. The mi quelets had penetrated to the mountains which separate Andorre from the valley of Carrol ; and a body of French troops had marched from Ax to Merens and Hospitalet, and sent reconnoitring parties forward to discover the strength of the Spaniards. The National Guard relieved the French troops, and performed their duty. These movements proceeded from the reports which were arriving from Cerdagne, and thu alarm created by the advance of the Spa *dards. Letters from Perpignan to the 18th of August state, that the renegade Manse had brought very few followers over with him, the faithful Millais having succeeded in retaining the greater part under the Constitutional standard. t appears that Angouleme's orders to set at liberty the Spaniards detained for political offeeces, had experienced the strongest opposition at Madrid from the Regency,and three members had retired ; but Oudinot was firm, and the vic- tires of f►►naticism were released. The Russian Ambassador is stated to have been the great adviser of the Regency to these Acts, and that all the rigorous measures executed by them met his sanction. It is added, that the Minister of Russia engaged to procure a reinforcement of troops from the Northern Powers 2 promising 50,000 men as the contingent Russia. It 'is asserted that hostilities were in fact suspended in the south of Spain, and that the pending negotiations would be soon concluded. The Cortes, it was further stated, had agreed to ►make important concessions, of which the prin. cipal are the receiving a' Charter granted by the King, and the formation of an Upper Cham ber.: The Faith fanatics were making every op. position possible to conciliatory measures. The French Commandant at Vittoria was obliged, on the refusal of the Authorities of that city, himself to set at liberty the prisoners confined there for political offences. The Alcalde and a Deputy of the Province were arrested. The Trappist then quitted the place to raise the sur rounding peasantry, but the French Commander Hohealohe had orders conveyed to him to return to Logrono immediately. No intelligence of any moment has been received front Cadiz. A few days must decide the important question of con. tinned war or peace. [MORNING POST.] The state of things in the Peninsula, the nego.. ciations at Corunna, and the more important ones opened at Cadiz, have created an anxious wish for information which the arrivals from France yesterday are not calculated to gratify. They do not embrace more than the Papers of Wed. nesday, and though the intelligence from Madrid comes down to the 22d instant, it is wholly silent with respect to the surrender of Corunna, and only states, what we • already knew, that the Duke of Angouleme had reached Port Saint Mary's on the morning of the 16th. According to these advices, however, and contrary to all that had been reported, and may probably still , be believed, notwithstanding the contradiction, the greatest tranquility pre. veiled in the Spanish capital, and " the two Decrees issued by the Duke of Angouleme and the Regency were executing in concert, with a degree of moderation which satisfied all parties." If this should be the case it would show that parties had more sense in Madrid than in the other towns of Spain ; hut it is hardly to be credited that those who by their violence and arbitrary arrests gave cause for the Decree of Andujar, should be really satisfied at being compelled to revoke all that they had done, and to unbar the prison gates which they had closed. It appears that notwithstanding the opposition of the Duke of Angouleme, the Madrid Regency are determined to interfere in the negociations earried on with the Constitutionalists at Cadiz. The Duke de• l'lnfantado and Mr. Zaes, Mi nister for .. Foreign Affairs, whose departure for Port St. Mary's had been several times announced as likely to take place, and as often contradicted (no doubt because pre vented), really quitted the capital on the 19th instant, to follow the Duke of Angouleme to his head-quarters. The Foreign Portfolio had been entrusted, ad interim, to the Minister of Marine, who is represented as a man of great moderation, and of whom all parties spoke favourably. The Quotidienne argues from the increased celerity of the Duke of Angouleme's journey to Port St. Mary's, after he had reached Cordova, that the C 6 submission" of Cadiz would be more prompt than it had been anticipated. It also says that his Royal Highness had granted only twenty four hours to the Cortes to make " their submission," and that the capitulation would probably take place immediately. If this were true it would be preposterous to call such dictation an attempt to negociate. The gees. tion, let it be remembered, is not whether Cadiz or the isle of Leon shall capitulate, but whether a legitimate Government had a free people shall surrender their Constitution and their Independence. Such considerations demand time and reflection ; and it cannot decently be asked, or if asked, be expected, that a question of so important and so vital a nature should be decided on a mere summons. Blind as he may be to the iniquity of the cause for which he lights, the Duke of Angouleme cannot have so entirely lost sight of right and justice as to have made such a demand. He would undoubtedly be glad to bring the contest in Spain to a speedy termination, that he might extricate himself from the difficulties, and his army from the dan gers, by which they are surrounded ; but if he wishes, as it is reported, to avail himself of a friendly mediation, he must act in a manner con sistent with established usageS, and with the dig nity of all parties. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. ( From the Liverpool Courier, August .27.) . _ SpAIN.--The rumours of the liberation of Fee dinand and the submission of the Cortes, which prevailed some days ago, have proved to be the anticipations of desire on the part of the French papers, and to have no foundation in any Important fact or measure at Cadiz. If, indeed, the French were able to give any sufficient guarantee that the Constitu tionalists should not, throughout Spain, be subjected to punish. ment ; and if, on the other hand, Ferdinand would, according to the notion of the French Court, emanate a charter which would secure his just prerogative, and preserve the best parts of the present constitution, we should think it the wisest mea sure which the Cortes, under present circumstances, could adopt, to close the whole by negociating with the Duc d'An gouleme. They have done enough to show that they submit to the principle of foreign dictation by - force; and, if the abstract principle only were in question ? we should think it no abate. !nem of their claims to patriotism to give it up, rather than tt . prolong the miseries of their country, and attempt to gain ,the end of their struggle by another route, by the course of a gi however, dual amelioration, rather than a sudden chang e , of the inatitu dons of Spain. The difficulty, lies in obtaini ng t h e guarantee for their safety on the one hand, and any conc ess i on, in good faith, In favour of an improved system, on the o t h er , from Ferdinand. With all the extravaga nce and erro rs of the Cortes, their resolute conduct hitherto; appe ars t o have been tweed upon them by circumstance: a sanguinary faction on the outside of the walls of Cadiz thirsting for their immolation on the altars of a dark superstition ; and a Sovereign with. in whom they cannot trust. Their great error was at the commencement of the revolution the rest have followed by n eces s ity. We again repeat, that, after all these rumou rs of pacification, an ti should they prove better founded th an they appear, the termination of this wretched state of things is still hopeless. Suppose Ferdinand liberated and restored to power: will he be the pupil of France, and act on the comparatively , moderate plan prescribed by the French Cabinet ? Will he not, as before, fall, and naturally fall, into the hands of the most bigoted and desperate faction, who will, with him at their head, demand the removal of the French armies, that nothing may obstruct their measures, or prevent their taking their fill of revenge ? To what, then, does this most obnoxious state of things lead ? To nothing, certainly, but revived confusion and perplexity ; from which, we doubt not, some substantial civil Ebert , and national advantage will ultimately result, but by a terrib le process, which, but for the senseless interference of French intrigue first, an di then of a French army, might have been avoided. If we view the case in another yet possible result, and suppose that the Cortes and Cadiz may continue to hold out, and that the Constitutionalists, in different parts of Spain, may assume courage, by the evident frustration of the plan and hopes of France, suddenly to bring the matter to an issue ; or, in other words, it' we may yet sup pose that the Cortes should triumph, another result must follow, it is true, to the radical faction in our own coon. try, and ef an g d ra t t ot ul he disaffected every where, but painful to the con. templation of all wise and virtuous won r—the triumph of the worst and moat desperate part of the Spanish Constitutionalists . , the triumph of the jacobintsm which has mixed itself up with the constitutionalism advocated by moderate and virtuous pa. triots ; and from the violence of jecobinistn, as blind, as bigoted, as headlong, as deeply sanguinary, as unprincipled and intriguing and destructive as diet of the faction of the Inquisition and arbitary power, nothing can be expected but future reactions and continued tumults. We have, from these views, no hope, therefore, from pacific rumours. They may lead to temporary arrangements; but the elements of discord which have been unloosened cannot yet be bound, and, though lulled for a moment, must yet take destructive sweeps. A spirited, decided, and sincerely patriotic conduct on the part of erdinand, might even in this crisis, save Spain ; but ruck, we fear, is the imbecility of that untimunate Monarch, that this is not to be expected, though much to be desired. EXECUTION.—UNEXPECTED RESPITF.--•-A t two o'clock yesterday James Connell and John Dundon were hanged in front of the county gaol, for attacking the house of Denis Morrissy, a farmer, at Cappanahane when ltiorissy, after making a spirited resistance, was murdered by. Daniel Connell, their companion, and for hich he was executed a few weeks ago.ir a dre The unfortunate of firmness, nfortunatecu butlprits ascended the platform with ra tter with 'the most apparent peni tence. Whilst the ,ropes were adjusting, they emphatically said that they were guilty of the crime for which they were so just ly to sower, forgave their prosecutors, and trusted, through the mercy of Christ, for pardon. They were then launched into eternity. Both the malefactors, who were in the prime of life, uncommonly stout and well-looking, were for a length of time much convulsed, .Dundon in particular. After hanging the usual time, their bodies were cut down and given to their friends, which was on e o f t h e l a st requests made by the unfor tunate culprits. A f ew moments b e fore Connell and Dundon ascended the platform, Daniel Nunan, their companion in guilt, anti who was also to be hanged yesterday, received a re prieve, which was announced to him by Sheriff Cuthbert in the condemned cell. This pl eas ing intelligence was quite the execution, unex pected, so much so, that his co ffi n was prepared to receive the body, and the announcement of it made a deep impression on the wretch, who wept bitterly, and said, that if it was only' a that rapri d es a s y, to stay he was better pleased to suffer ter. John Griffj;, who was sentenced to be hanged on Wed as he was perfectly_resigned to meet his Divine Mail. nesittY lase, at e late assizes of Ennis, has been respited.— (Limerick , Aug. 13„ ) On Wednesday evening, about six o'clock, a horse and chais e left for a .mornent in the yard of Mr. Spur vy , C arpenter , Th om as-street Wa terloo-road, t oo k fright at . some object, and,. dashing through the yard, proceeded up the street, a narrow one s with great velocity, upset-, ting every thing that came in its way: Luckily no lives were lost, though, in running against a post, the chaise was shattered to pieces. Thus liberated of its appendages, the horse quietly walked into its own stable, and was secured with out further mischief. The street was strewed with boxes, parcels ) and the fragments of the chaise. CORONERS' INQUESTS. THE AFFRAY AT PADDINGTON. Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, the Inquest on John Nor. Man, the unfortunate man who was killed in a conflict with a party of the Grenadier Guards on Thursday evening, was held before Trios. STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, at the Red Lion, Westbourn.green, Paddington. The Coroner had been specially requested to hold the Inquest yesterday afternoon, which he consequently complied with. The following evidence was adduced : William Davies, of 13, Chapel-street, Paddington, assistant to Mr. Davis, of that place, was called upon on Thurs day after noon to attend the deceased; found him opposite the door of this house in the road ; he was then quite dead, but did not appear to have been dead any length of time. Did not attempt to bleed him, being 'perfectly satisfied he was dead ; there did not appear any marks of violence about his person, and at the present time witness w a s incompetent t o acc o u nt for his death, the body not having been opened. A Juror suggested that the body should have been opened before any further evidence was taken. Witness—There were no marks of violence, the deceased's face was perfectly natural, but there was a swelling on his neck, under the ear; it was not at all, however, discoloured, nor did it appear to have been occasioned by any violence ; no one else had examined the body. The Coroner considered it very strange that no other gen tleman was called in to examine the body ; he understood some persons had been detained respecting it, and he much wondered the body had not been further examined. It was therefore suggested, that the body should be further examined by the above Gentleman, in the presence of the Jury. This was accordingly done, and on their return, One of the Jury said, lie considered th e body should be opened by some Medical Gentleman in the neighbourhood, when he could give his opinion. After some further conversation, Mr. Snell, of Chapel-street, was sent for ; in the interim the further evidence of 31r. Davis was taken. He said, that on now examining the body, there were marks of injuries on it, which were not observable before, on the left side of the abdomen he observed one severe' bruise, and others on various parts ; the one on the abdomen was sufficient to cause death ; that mark, he had no doubt, proceeded from a blow • the whole of the abdomen in fact was much tumefied, Which, in witness's opinion, proceeded from a blow. Coroner—Have you been accustomed to see dead bodies in hot weather ?— . l have; I do not consider that the swelling on the neck proceeded from a blow. I consider the different ap pearances occasioned by different blows. Stephen Bunce, of No. 12, Harrow-road, butcher, said he knew the deceased previous to his death, in the capacity of a dustman ; the witness then began to explain the affray as it occurred. As he was coming down the road on Thursday evening, he saw a soldier stripping to fight ; a few words passed between him and the dustman, but what words they were he could not say, apparently they were quarrelling; they they then had one round, when the dustman stripped, and ran in to the soldier ; cradling him by the neck, he held his head and struck him several times in the face and other places the first blow was struck by the dustman, the soldier return the blow. Juror—Are you certain that was the first blow ? Coroner—He has already stated it; and I have admonished him to tell the truth. Addressing himself to the witness : We want nothing of what you have heard, nothing of what you have learnt, but what you actually saw. • Witness,-.-That I have stated. Coroner—Did one or either of them fall. Witness—Yes ; they both fell ; they were hugging each other, and soldier fell undermost; did not see that the soldier put his knees up in the fall; they again met, but who first struck witness could not say, it was what he considered a fair fight, no foul blows were exchanged; the soldier was again undermost; the third and fourth rounds then passed, and in one deceased was struck down by a blow in the abdomen from the soldier; it was not struck sufficiently low to make a foul blow; he did not rise from the blow ; witness left while he appeared dying; there was blood on the soldier's nose, but not from the dustman ; there were no blows struck by either party while on the round, nor no kicking or struggling. The dustman and soldier appeared in liquor; there were several dustmen round de ceased, and other soldiers ; no other person struck the dustman, or encouraged th em to fight. William Benjantin, a serjeant, was there after the man was knocked down, but not before; had previously spoken to wit ness, but never quarre ll e d with him. Wm. Benson, landlord of the Red Lion, was next called. He confirmed in various particulars the former witness's testi mony, explaining the commencement of the affray as follo ws: The - dustmen were standing in front of the house when the soldiers came down ; the dustmen challenged them to play three distinct games, which on refusing to do, they were caned. " cowards," and received some most tantalizing language from the dustmen. On receiving the appellation of cowards, one of them instantly stripped and agreed to fight one of the dust men ; the fight then took place as above related on the part of the dustmen, the soldiers getting the worst. Elizabeth Osborne merely proved seeing one of the soldiers put his fist in the deceased's face, but not to strike him. Richard Millard, ostler, saw them fighting, and in attempt ing to part them got struck himself. Thomas Morgan, of No. 4, Little James-street, a dustman, was in company with the persons on the day in question. This witness commenced his evidence in a manner wholly different front the former witnesses. Ile commenced by saying the dust. men were in company, when the soldiers came up, and wished to play them at tune-pins ; they refused doing it, and the sol diers then said, they would fi ght three of then: out of four, and fight they would ; never he ar d the word " coward" mentioned in the fight, but they had two rounds, and in the second the deceased was killed. Mr. Thomas Doughty, of Portman-place, stated, he had just opened the body of the deceased, and found no 'wound in the abdomen to cause death ; but upon opening the head, be found an extravantion of blood upon the ventricles of the brain, suf ficient to cause death by apoplexy : the exertion of fighting might have produced it. The CORONER observed, they were much indebted to Mr. Doughty for the trouble he had taken ; he bad ent i re ly c l eare d up the affair, and shewed that the man had not died front the blow. Mr. Doughty replied he had had a most unplea sa nt t as k to perform, and in accomplishing it, had spoiled a valuable case of instruments. One of the Overseers said the parish would remunerate him in every respect. The CO no E n then summed up the evidence, dwelling upon the evidence of Morgan, which he considered wholly unworthy of credit; and left it for the Jury to say whether the deceased died from the blow, or by apoplexy brought on by fighting. After a short consultation, the Jury returned a verdict of— " Apoplexy, caused by great exertion in lighting." SHOCKING SUICIDES. Yesterday evening there was an Inquest held at Bartholo. mew's Hospital, before Mi. Surt.TON,. Coroner, for London, on the body of Isabella Mary Madder, aged 60 years.. Mary Ryan de p osed that - the deceased had been turned o u t o f S t . Andrews Workhouse, a fortnight agO,. and she came to lodge with her at Is. per week, but she could not pay that sum. On IVednesday last, atone o'clock, witness found her in her room, lying utter' a basket which she used in the market, with her throat cut, and bleeding. The razor with which she inflicted the wound was lyingclose to her upon a table. She was removed to the hospital, where she died next day. On her cross-examination witness said the deceased told her she had cut her throat through distress; that the overseers turned her out, and refused to re lieve her any longer.—A Gentleman, who had been an over.. seer, and is still a me mber of several committees in the Liberty,. said the deceased had been in the workhouse in winter for the last twenty years ; in summer she used to work in the market. She applied , to him since last turned out of the house; he adviled her to apply to the Magistrates at Hatton-garden, but they had ordered her to be sent home to Ireland. She refused to go because she had no friends there; and she had been forty years in London. The Overseers refused to relieve her, andbe then advised her to sit at tlie step at the workhouse door till they took 'her in. Several of the parish constables were exa. mined, as likewise was the daughter of the deceased, awoman who is herself in indigent circumstances. A long.investigation took place between the Jury, who thought it was cruel to turn an Irish pauper out with no other prospect than starvation, tu less removed to Ireland, and perhaps then destitute; but the Coroner told them it was not their province as Jurors to consi der any thing except what immediately related to the death of thadeceased. The Hospital Surgeon said, the wound was not very, dangerous, but there was a large quantity of blood upon the brain of the deceased. .Verdict—" Insanity." An Inquest . was held yesterday'et the Champion, Goswell street-road, on the body of Mary Deacon. The deceased, to it appeared in evidence, had been for some days preceding in a melancholy state of mind, and on Fridarevemng, the 22d in stant, was found lying in her bed, by the mistress of the house where she lodged, in a state of extreme exhaustion. On being questioned, she admitted having taken a quantity of, oxalis acid; but when medical 'assistanee was procured, no induce. ments could prevail on her for some time to receive the anti. dotes which it was proposed to administer.. After a lapse of objections wer e o ve rcome by.}yr fears, ainbodustutaheroene consented to tohetralccmeaiciiies to ex pel the poison; but thereinedied were applied too late,. and she' lingered in eitriinte agony, till Wednesday last, when she expired. Deems, the brotherof the deceased, dep ose d t h at .s he had heel an ille gitimate child; from winch she had been separated; and the loss of it had constantly preyed on her mind. The Jury re. , 'turned a verdict of aelfanurder under the influence of tempontry mental derangement. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Queen's Head, Fashion. street, Spital.fields, before I. W. URWIN, Esq. on the body of Mary Corsbie. William Wither, 5, Flower and Dean-street, Spital-fields,ipocket-book maker, deposed that yesterday morn. lug, about eight o'clock, on hearing the deceased, who lived in the same street, had hung herself, he went to her room, and saw her suspended by a silk handkerchief from the bed-post ; witness gave a knife to a young man present, who cut her down; had no doubt she committed the act her• self, and that she was insane at the time; knew her to have been frequently watched lest she should commit suicide.— Elizabeth Clarke was nurse to deceased; had attended her in the daytime the last two months • before she went yesterday morning the deceased h a d hung herself ; deceased had fre quently been in raving fits, and was then with difficulty held down.—Elizabeth Williamson had known the deceased for the last ten months ; never thought her of sane mind ; deceased at• tempted to strangle herself more than once; she was 57 years of age.—Verdict—" Lunacy."

LONDON JOURNEYMEN.—We have been in formed by a Gentleman, whose knowledge of the circumstances and behaviour of the journeymen in the metropolis may be regarded as in a very unusual, or rather an unexampled degree minute and correct, that of this important portion of the labouring population, no one ever begs ; that such a thing as a journeyman tradesman, or any of his fa mily begging, is almost unknown, and may with cer tainty be pronounced as one of the rarest of con• tingent events. When it is considered to what an extraordinary degree most of the employments by which these men earn the means of subsist ence are liable to fluctuation, and thousands of them are, for months together, deprived of work, as was the case with thousands, for example, of the carpenters and brick layers during the severe winter of 1813— that of these, the whole must be reduced to the most cruel privations, and a great proportion ac tually starve unpitied, unheard of, and unknown, the resolution by which they abstain from begg :ing should be regarded as one of the- most re markable phenomena in the history of the human mind.—(Mechanics Magazine.) On Monday morning, about three o'clock, one of the Under-Graduates of St. John's College, Cambridge, was awakened by a noise in his bed room, when, seeing a man near his bed-side tak ing his watch, he jumped up and endeavoured to seize him, but the man escaped out of the win dow. The Gentleman wounded bins with a sword-stick which he happened to have near him, traces of blood being afterwards discovered near the gates adjoining the river, and the new iron. gates near the high road at the bottom of the Col lege walks ; which circumstance, it is hoped, wilt lead to a discovery of the offender. He hail packed up some articles of wearing apparel in a bundle, which in his haste to escape he left be hind him. COAL-MAIMET, Auo. 29. Ships at Market.
