CORONERS' INQUESTS.

On Tuesday evening an inquest wm held in the Canteen of the
Royal Horse Gnarls barracks, Regent's Park, before Thomas
Sti-ling, Esq., Coroner, to inquire into the cause of the death of
ilrs. Eliza Brodie, who was killed on the previous evening, by
endeavouring to jump from die gig in whteh she was taking an
airing in the Regent's Park, the horse having taken fright at the
explosion of the steam-gun in Mr. Perkina's fhctory.
Francis Stacey Did the gig was within about 100 yards of Mr.
Perkins's factory. There was a loud continued report, and the
horse took fright, and started off at full speed. Witness thought
the explosion of the steam-gun in the factory the cause of the horse
tak ne fright.
The Jury found a verdict of " Accidental death ;" adding, they
had selected a deputation to wait on Mr. Perkins, to recommend
the discontinuance of such explosions in future.
DREADFUL SUICIDE.
Last evening an inquisition was held before Thomas Higgs, Esq.
Corner, at the Vestry Room of Sr. George, Hanover-square, in
Mount-street, on the body of a young woman named Rebecca Fur-
ler, who put an end to her existence under the following lament-
able circumstances.
Jones, the beadle, mated, 'that between eight and nine o'clock on
Monday evening last the deceased was brought into the watchhouse
by Mr. Honker and a person named Green. Mr. Itoseiter held a
cup in his hand, and said the deceased had taken poison. She
seemed quite senseless. Witness inquired why she was not carried
to the surgeon's, as she appeared in a dying state; upon which
some person procured the assistance of Mr. Parrott, and on witness
returning to the watchhouse, he inquired who the deceased was,
and Mr. Green, who resides in Mount-street, said he knew her too
well. The deceased was a well-looking female, very fashionably
dressed, and appeared to be about 20 years of age.
Mr. Edward Rossiter, of Mount-street, stated that on Monday
evening, about half-past nine, he was standing talking with a friend
at the corner of Meant-street and Charles-street, and whilst there,
he saw a female waling backwards and forwards past htr. Green's
shop. At length she made a halt opposite the shop : she was most
respectably dressed, and seemed deeply depressed. Witness ob-
served a motion in her arms, but on account of her back being to-
wards him, he could not see what she was doing. She then walked
into Mr. Green's shop, and witness saw her My something on the
counter, but he could not see what it was. Mr. Green was at this
time behind the counter, and he immediately ran round to the fe-
male. Mr. Green seemed to be examining the contents of the tea
cun, and caught the deceased by the arm at the moment she was
falling. Witness, on hearing Mr. Green call the watchman, went
over to his assistance, and on going into the shop he saw the de-
ceased, who seemed to have lost her senses, and Mr. Green said
be feared she had taken oxalic acid. IVitneas assisted in convey.
ing her to the workhouse; the deceased groaned very much on the
way, but she did not utter a word. Mr. Green said he knew the
deceased well, and he went instantly for a surgeon, and Mr. Par.
rott, of Mount-street, came immediately, but all his efforts to save
her proved ineffectual. She appeared about 20 years of age, and in
a pregnant state.
Two surgeons deposed to the strength of the poison, and the
efforts made to save the deceased. _

Juror—Did she assign any cause for taking the poison ?
Witness—She did nat. _ .

Mr. Samuel Furler, of No. 2, Newnham-street, Edgeware-road,
carpenter, stated that the deceased was his daughter, and had just
attained her 20th rear, and about fifteen months ago she informed
him she had marred a Mr. Green, and he requested her mother to
make inquiries as to who and what Mr. Green Was; but before she
did so his daughter showed symptoms of pregnancy, and on her
being interrogated closely she confessed that Mr. Green was not bee
husband. From that time he desired her mother not to allow her
to enter the house, as she had brought disgrace on the family. The
deceased declined coming to the house for a considerable time, but
her m then saw her at intervals. Witness would not see her; and
on Monday night last she walked up and down the garden for a
long time, wishing to see him, but did not, and she went away ;
in passing him, she, in a state of the deepest dejection, ejaculated
" Good night." She had been repeatedly asked what caused her
dejection ; but the only answer she gave was, that she was very ill.
The deceased was comfortably situate, and he did not know that
Mr. Green had ill-used her. Air. Green is a man between 20 and
30 years of age, and is a wax chandler. She had been very melan-
eholy for the last six weeks, but more so since her accouehement.
Mary Lawrence, of No. 132 Edgeware-road, stated that she
was employed, alx;ut three mouths ago, by the decease* to nurse
her child ; she called on her every day to see her infant, and ap-
peared very fond of it. On Monday afternoon, about half-past four
o'clock, she called, and took the baby out with her, and returned
again about six o'clock ; she seemed very much dejected, and on
witness inquiring the cause of her melancholy, she said she feared
she was again in the family way. She then took leave of her child,
and witness did not see her again alive.
Thomas Green, wax-chandler, residing In Mount-street, Gros..
venor-square, stated, that in the month of November, 1824. he
accidentally met the deceased at a house for the resort of company
is Buckinghiun-place, Fitrroy-square, and accompanied her to the
theatre ; he afterwards took her away from that lodging, and took
apartments in Csrburton-street, where they lived together as man
and wife, and she gave birth to a child. They afterwards gave up
that lodging, and he engaged a comfortable residence for her in
ilpper Spring-street, and allowed her 51- a month for her support.
Since taking this lodging he had discontinue

A correspondent, in somewhat angry terms, requests us
to correct an error in our Lords' Report of Teesday. The
two petitions presented by Lord Lauderdale from the
debtors in the King's Bench and Fleet prisons, were rag oust
the Equitable Loan Bill, and not in favour of it, as erro-
neously stated by our Reporter.
ELOPCMCNT.—EarIy on the morning of Thursday last,
eloped from As—l—y P—lc, the seat of W. T. D—r—cy,
Esq. the Honourable D—n---s A—r B—ng--m, a minor,
with Maria Helena, second (laughter of R—b—t P—r—se,,
Esq. of R—xbro', in the county Galway. The amiable
couple are not yet of age; and it is said that the Noble
Mother of the Honourable Bridegroom intends enforcing
him by law to continue at school until his minority shall
have ceased. We imagine, however, that the Honourable
Minor determined to graduate no further in the eiasv'ea/
course. The school of Hymen is now, it would appear, the
theatre for his speculations.—Connought Journal.
I N Sunday, a poor Irish labourer,
named Pat Hannowell, whilst standing on the Li:nee Quay, view-
ing the sailing uf the steatn.rekett unconsciously approached so
near the edge that he fell into the Harbour, and had been some
time struggling about, when he was observes' by Michael Richard-
son, a deaf and dumb ladderman, who rushed to the spot from
whence Pat had slipped. and, without the least hesitation, notwith-
standing the tide had fallen very considerably, intrepidly plunged
into the Harbour, a depth of nearly twenty feet, and, with the
eagerness and tannage of a Newfoundland dog, seized hold of this
drowning wan, and swam with him until • boat came to their
assistance. The conduct of Richardson (who was educated in the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum), excited a eery lively sensation, and the
circumstance coming to the knowledge of the Earl of Temotetown,
who had just landed from France, his Lordship suggested the pro-
priety of a subscription to reward the spontaneous exertions of- the
dumb man, and instantly subscribed • sovereign, promising at
the same time to wake known the heroic conduct of Richardson
amongst his friends.

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY H.

was rather more lodination to purchase Wheat to-day, and although
the business done was eery inconntderable, yet Monday's prxe4

but in prices of Oats, Beans, or Peas, there was r.o varieties.
