CORONER'S INQUEST.

An inquisition was held on Monday evening, before JOHN
CARTER. Eq.• Coroner for the county of Surrey, at the Ship and
Sun, ‘Valworth, St. Mary Newington, on the body of Sydney
Walsh. 23 years of age.
Edward Smith deposed that he resides at No. 11, East-street,
Walwnrth. The deceased had lodged with him nearly two years.
On Friday morning, between semi and eight o'clock, he heard a
noise, which his wife said was the report of a pistol; he instantly
rushed up stairs, followed by his wife. On entering the deceased's
apartment he found him lying on his back in bed, and bleeding at
his breast. Witness left his wile in care of the deceased, and ran
for medical assistance. By the time he returned borne he found
Mr. swift, the,surgeon, in attendance. NVitnes.s had observed for
the last three weeks a great alteration in his behaviour; he seemed
to avoid society, and more particularly so within the last few days,
that he communicated his observations to his wife. Previous to
that time the deceased possessed a cheerful disposition and a highly
cultivated mind.

Deceased's brother slept in the same room with him, and had
only left it a few minutes before the tircumstance occurred. Wit-
ness has since understood the alteration in the appearance of the
deceased had proceeded front being rejected by a young woman to
whom he was paying his addresses. {Witness has no doubt the
deceased was of unsound mind fur some days previous to commit-
ting the dreadful act.
Mr. John Swift, of East-street, surgeon, stated, that he was sent
for on Friday morning to attend the deceased ' • he went immedi-
ately ; the deceased was lying on his back in bed. On examining
the body he discovered a pistol shot wound in the centre of the
chest; he probed the wound. but found it impracticable to extract
the ball, which had entered the cavity of the chest. He appeared
quite sensible, but in a fainting state. {Witness rerceived a small
nfle pistol on a bench under tit,: window, which had been removed
(Tom off the bed by Mrs. Smith, the landlady, previous to his ar-
rival. Witness, after lie had dresse'l the wound, begged of the
deceased to disclose to Sim the cause of committing the rash act ;
he pointed to his coat, where, in one of the pockets, he found •
letter addressed to him from 3liss Lucy Keep ( which was read to
the Jury). It stated. that she hail taken an unaccountable dislike
to him, and was positively determined to break off all further in-
tercourse, as she could not accept him for a husband ; that she!
had endeavoured to love him but could not ; at the same time re.
commending him to look out for another young woman, and not to
give himself up to foolish despondency. I.hceased lived 36 hours
after the fatal catastrophe in great agony, which he bore with ex-
traordiaary fortitude. {Witness had since his decease opened the
body ; two of the ribs were broken, and the bullet had lodged be-
tween the ribs and the lungs. On the Wednesday previous de-
ceased called upon him, complaining of excessive pain in the
bead; his health appeared to be generally disordered. On that oc-
casion witness te‘ok about six ounces of blood from him, and sent
him some medicine, intending to call upon him op the day he
committed the deed. {Witness is of opinion the deceased was de-
ranged in his mind.
The Jury were perfectly satisfied from the evidence they had
heard, and unanimously returned a verdict—" That the deceased
shot himself in a state of temporary derangement."

COGNOMINA!. PUNS OF HERALDRY.
Heraldry is a hierogliphical art • and since the distinc:
Lion of peal wit from punning is iltfined to be a pleasing
representation of ideas, as compared with a whimsical
combination of sounds, we should class such heraldic jeae
d'es;.rit (sonic highly whimsical), by which en object,
whether animate or inanimate, is made to represent a man's
name, by similarity of sound, under the appellation of
Pictural or Heraldic runs. For example—
The Lyonses, Lords or Glamis,
bore - A Linn in their Arms.
Roger, Lord Maintain - - Three Hands argent.
The horde Martel . . Three Hammers: from Afaoup
The Veers - A Boar: from Verres.

MARKETS.

[From the London New Priec Current, July 12.]
_____

COTTON.-There has been a complete stagnation in the Cotton
market ; no purchases are reported during the last week. The let-
ters from Liverpool, dated late on Saturday night, say, 3,000 bales
of Cotton were sold on that day ; the prices id. to ft!. per lb. higher
than on the opening of the market in the morning. By accounts
from Illancliceter the market opened yesterday with animation.
These accounts have little effect here ; no purchases whatever are
' reported either last night or this forenoon.
COFFEE.-The public sales last week were rather extensive ;
Foreign and the ordinary descriptions of British Plantation Coffee
were a aliada lower, all other qualities were unvaried, but the
market was uncommonly heavy c St. Domingo, in large parcels,
taken in at 61s. and 625. Cl., good Cherilion sold at Gds. and 65e.
There were no public sales of Coffee this forenoon, and the only
purchase by private contract reported is a considerable parcel of fair
quality St. Domingo taken on speculation at file. ; the quotation
for Si. Domingo is now els. a 625. all the other descriptions of
Coffee are unvaried ; the tatirket is heavy, but the holders generally
do not appear inclined to force sales at any reduction.
SUGAR -The new Sugars which hove appeared at market here
!sold freely at very full prices : towards the close of last week the
show became very limited, and, as the easterly winds have lately
prevailed, it was ani.cipated the supply for the next two wean
I would not be adequate to the immediate wants of the trade : under
these circumstances, the few sales reported were at prices 6d. a Is.
higher than at the commencement of the week, and the tuirket
closed with the appearance of great firmness; low brown Jamaica*
645., St. Lucia and other browns 625. to 635. The show of Sugats
to-day is again inconsiderable: the purchases are not on an eaten-
sive scale, and there is no alteration in the currency since Friday
the market mny be stated Cal. to le. per cwt. higher than on this
day week. By public sale this forenoon, 172 finds. Barbadoes
off et
Sugar went t full prices, 665. Gd. a 725. At the conclusion of
the market cur Mummies this day, we think the prices are again
a shade higher than last week ; one house sold above 400 hhds ,
but the sales are not general er brick. In the Refined market there
was no briskness last week ; low Lumps could, in some Instances,
be purchased a shade under 87s. ; fine goods were in request for
the home consumption of the country : Molasses were brisk at
27a. Sid. The Relined market is rather heavy to-day ; there have
been sales of low Lumps about 86s. and 86s. Gd., and for money
even below these prices; fine goods are still in demand by the
wholesale grocers: Molasses are again higher, buyers at 28s. By
public sale last week, 1361 chests Havannah Sugars were brought
forward ; an uncommon tine parcel, but a small proportion sold;
brown was taken in at 37c. Cl. a 38a., yellow 395. a 41s. 6d.: nearly
500 bags good white Betimes sold 37a and 375. 6d.
COCO:1.-11y public sale on Friday, 200 bass Brazil and 10
bags Trinidad Cocoa all take i in, no buyers.
RICE.-Ily public sale on Friday, 862 bags East India Rice,
common Bengal, 16s. 6d. and 175.; fine Patna 234.
FRUIT.-There is very little business doing, the demand for
the home trade being very limited at this period of the year, at:d
the few orders for export remaining; unexecuted.
HOPS.-All idea of a Hop crop this season appears now to he
abandoned; the duty has fallen to 10,0001.; the accounts from the
II op districts are most deplorable; a few sttong shoots still continue
to grow, but the great proportion have now turned black, and the
leaves dropping off. The prices advance with great rapidity, and
the market in a very unsettled state; 141., 161., and up to till. paid
for good parcels, and many of the holders will not sell at the present
prices.
OILS.-There is no alterarion in Fish Oil, except in Sperm,
which is 20s. a 365. per ton higher, on account of the few arrivals.-
Olive Oils are dull, and have fallen nearly the whole of the reduc-
tion of duty. Seed Oils unveiled.
II E M P, FLAX, and TA L LOW.-Tallow is without variation,
355. 6tl. a 365.-Ilemp is quoted at the new ditty, which is 41. 10s.
per ton lower than the former; the price is now 121/. to 4W. rather
brisk.-In Flax there is no material alteration.-Tallow for deli_!
very, shipment .l my and August, 11125, 35e. 6d. a 36a. ; for the last
three months delivery 365. a 365. 6d. ; free on board 295.-Hemp,
in bond. 311. 10s. a 32/.
INDIGO-Tile quotations are entirely nominal on account of
the India house sale this morning. The( day's sale went off Is.
lid, a 2s. per lb. lower titan the last sale (in April) ; the preprie-
tors have bought in about half of this day's sale ; as to appearance,
they will ellow nn Indigo to go below the reduction we have stated,
about 2s. per lb. lower than in April.
TOBACCO.-The prices of Tobrcco have again advanced
about id. per lb. since this day week, and there is still a diapesition
to do business, but very few parcels offer, and the most ordinary
Virginia,' cannot he purchased under 4id. and we should think
only small lots at that rate. We have see,, a very correct estimate
of the quantity changing hands within the last ten days, and the
prices; within that time 2,500 hhds. have changed hands, at the
advance of id. a Id. per lb.; since Friday, however, there has not
been much business doing, owing to the few parcels which are on
sale.

Rir3l, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum market it
very firm, but the sales reported are not exten.ive; the bit} ers
Y purchaairg for their immediate wants, and the Rectifiers being
little at market, on account of the very tine weather, and the pro-
spect of an abundant harvest, which will now regulate the Rum
market more than at any former period; the proof Geewards are
10t1.;tinder proofs Is. 3cl. ; fine Jamaicas are still inquired after
for home consumption, and for some parcels of fine 3s. 3d. has
been paid, and for 30 over 34. Brandy is unit/tried, 3s for parcels
to arrive. 34. Id. and 3s. 2d. for the housed of last year. Pale
Geneva still Is. 10d.
