Yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock, AK. TuoNY GELL, Esq. Coroner for Westminster, held: an Inquest, at the sign of the Hoop and Grapes, Queen-8:1one,, on the body of Miss MARY CRAM. 1.-AxrE, who was drowned in the Canal in St. James's Park, about one o'clock on Monday afternoon.— When the Jury were sworn they took a view of the body ; after which they proceeded to examine the witnesses. Francis Yarrow, one of the Park-keepers, deposed, that about half past one o'clock on Monday after. noon, he being near the Guard-house at the Queen's Palace, heard the alarm given that a young Lady was drowning in the Canal ! He immediately ran and climbed over the paling. • He saw the deceased on the surface of the water, with her face downwards. He came. to the waterside near the paling, that di. vides the Park, on the Westminster, side, facing Queen.square Gate. Yarrow could not swim, and was therefore afraid to venture in. A Waterman, who attends the coach rank at Buckingham Gate, came up, threw off his clothes, and plunged in. He brought the body to the bank, and assisted him to take it out of the water, at which time it was ap. patently dead. They held up the body with the head downwards, and some _water came out of her mouth. With some assistance they carried the body to the Hoop and Grapes • Public.house, near .Queen. Square. Robert Burnett, Waterman to the coach-rank, near Btickingham Gate, deposed, that on Monday last, about half past twelve o'clock, a hackney coach set down the deceased outside Buckingham Gate. He saw her pay the coachman his fare, and desired him to remain there untitshe, came back, as she must go into St. James's Park. The coachman desired her to remain a little longer in the coach, as it rained very heavy at the time, to which she made answer, " I iball be wetter presently." Burnett saw her walk' down towards the trees, on the Mall, and though the rain fell down in torrents, she .held a small urn. brella, which was in her hand, down by her 'side, without making any use of it to guard off the .rain. Some time after he heard a Gentleman give an alarm, at the Lodge, that there was a' Lady drowning in the Canal; that he immediately ran and climbed over the railing ; that there were two men running down also in the same diredion ; and that they were a considerable way before the Deponent on the \Vest. minster side of the water. The Deponent saw the body lying on the surface of the water. When he came to the water-side, he asked the men if either could swim ? They answered no ; on which the De ponent strii.ped off part of his clothes, and went in. He rock hold of the deceased by the hand, to pull her to the bank, when she struggled twice, as if pulling away her hand. She was, however, at last taken out of the water. He held her round the middle, and made the other hold bp her feet, with her head down, when there was discharged about a cuart of water. There appeared no signs of life. She was then carried away, and the Deponent saw her no more. • He heard the coachman say she took his coach from the Minories. John Brooks, another witness (but not put to Vt oath), said; that as he was returning home from th e City, through St. James's Park, and came as far as the centinel who stands facing St. James's Palace, running quickly at the time, as it trained very heavy, the centinel cried to him—" For God's sake make haste and save a Lady who is drowning in the Canal !" He then looked and saw the Lady in question in the water, and heard her cry in a most piteous manner, which hurt his feelings very much ; he ran down to go to her assistance ; but he was some con siderable time before he' could get over the railing, on account of the spikes. She kept uttering dread. ful moans. He had to go round the canal, as she was on the opposite side. He gave the alarM to the soldiers, who were at the Queen's Guard Room ; but they only made a ridicule of hiM, and none of them came: to afford her any assistance. He .was not well himself; and having taken • medicine the night before, he did not like to go into the water. Two men joined him at .the water.side ;• one of them, the last Witness, stripped and brought the body out of the water. Mr. Whitrow, a Partner of the deceased ' s father, 41 Champante and Whitrow," wholesale .stationers in Jewry street, Aldgate, said, that the father of the deceased could not attend, his feelings having been so afFeCted. The deceased was Mr. Champante's second daughter. She was in the ItSt year of her age. 'Three yeah ago she appeared not altogether so colletted as she should be ; but never slimed any particular symptoms of insa nity before. On Monday morning last she returned from Chelsea by the stage. Site was there on a visit. She ran, on her return, to her father, who sat writing at his desk, to communictite some tri fling affair to him. Fit being busy settling some accompts, desired her, rather hastily, to withdraw; which check had such an effed upon her, that she ran out of the house. She told the servant-maid in the kitchen that she would destroy herself ! She de.. sired her to get her a coach. She went out when it rained very heavy. The maid imagined she went to Mr. Whitrow's house, which was just oppiite ; instead of which she turned round George-street; into the Minories, where she took a each, and drove as already stated. . Thus ended the evidence. There were no Me.i. dical Gentlemen exatnined. • Without any ilesitu., Lion, the Coroner returned a verdia that the young` Lady was " Deranged in her mind, and, in a ft of irtranit,y,drouned hersilf;'' which verdict was signed by the Jury. . On inquiry we learnt, that when the 4eceased was' brought to the Public Howe, there was a Nte. JIM Gentleman, who lived in the neighbourhood; sent for. He came and looted - at the body, and immediately . went a.E. Those presenrilliagiOed he went fur some assistance; but hco nbitierab:e. citric 'having elapsed, and . he nut returnitt, other Gent:e. men were applied to, who came, and used every "'leans in theirliower for a recovery, but to no. el. lett. Miss Cbampante *appeared cas t after the most atbnirable model. She was of a lofty statote.'Ber skin was of the purest white, and her cheeks. of.a lovely tiermillit n hu'e.

Coroner, ht;l , l an t lniptiitti )n, at the Bear anti P.'iggti S:aff 11;0 Ground, Binksi3e, on a . view of the b )d}i of :`.11.v Buq, who was found lunging to a blain, in her house, on Tuesday last. The circumstances attending this shocking suicide are singular.. It appeared in evidence, that the,, husband of the deceased, 'who is an •indastrious cOal.porter, employed at Messrs. Dickensan and Co.'s wharf, had lately received a legacy of between . fifty and sixty pounds, in consequence of the dcath of a relation. The money being entrusted to the deceased, she secreted it, and endeavoured to I.t.!ep it from her husband, by hiding it' in such a si_ tuation as she thought he could not discover ; the; consequence was, a quarrel ensued, Mows sue_ ceeded, and in the event ; the husband found the money. On Sunday morning last, she breakfaste,l with him and several of his companions, apparently in good hUmOur ; but soon after used many incoh,:!. rent expressions, relative to an intent to destroy herself; and, rushing suddenly out of the house, ran down. the wharf next to Blackfriars Bridge, from whence she got over the coal craft, ats plunged into the river. The persons, who were in her corn. pany, followed, dragged her our, and took her home ; where she .shitted her wet cloafhs, and again , appeared easy i n mi n d. • „O n t h e M on d ay morn i ng ` she expressed it' desire to •take a • walk with her hus. .band, which the latter did not consent to ; but , agreed 'to' dine with her at the Windmill public.. house upon beef steaks, which she was to cook. He-then went to work, and at the appointed time proceeded to dinner ; the deceased was not there, she hal not been seen ; and, on going home, the door was locked : he saw no more of her during the day, and finding the house shut 'up in the evening, concluded the deceased was . gone .out : he slept out all night, and on Tuesday resolved to break open the door : he accordingly did so, and found the bed had not been slept in ; the deceased's cloaths ; which she wore when she threw herself into the water, were lying in the one pair of stairs room, and the bus. band saw nothing to lead him to believe she had been in the house since Monday, until going into the garret, a shocking sight presented itielf to his view. The deceased appeared to have coolly meditatc4 her destrudion. A beam ran across the room, ro which she affixed her handkerchief, having a noose made to slide with facility, by sweet oil, a quail. tity of which stood on the floor a vessel. A chair being placed immediately under, the unfortu.. nate woman, having put the handkerchief round her neck, kicked the chair away Or lay at seine distance), and thus deprived herself of existence. The hos.. band, unable from his horror and surprise to take the body down, ran to his neighbours, several of whom ran up stairs to the room where she was hanging. The deceased is supposed to have been suspended a considerable time, being qUite stiff when taken down. From the evidence given in the above case, the Coroner and jury were of opinion the deceased de, stroyed herself in a state of mental derangement, and therefore returned a verdiet—L.mg. • . Yesterday afternoon a young man of the name of NEVIL, belonging to the Tax-Office, was thrown from a gig, by which his arm was broken, and hit received several severe bruizes and contusions in different parts of his body. He had imprudently endeavoured to drive a horse that had never been in harness before : the animil took fright, and.ran the gig against a post,. by which means the accident was . occasioned.
