SUICIDE.—An Inquisition was taken on Thursday at Dewing

the river, who was found dead in a field near Newington on the

uplb&tercr of Clerkebyvell, heard the report of a pistol at about
six 44'l lock in the wonting, which proceeded from the spot where
the deceased was found. There did not appear to he any per-
son in the field at the Owe ; and it was proved that the deceased
had been in a dejected state two or three days previous to his
leaving his vessel on Wednesday. Verdict—INSANITY.
A woman, apparently aboat flO years of years of age, was
found drowned in the Grand Junction Canal on Wednesday, and
the body was owned on 'Thursday. Her name turned out to he
Masters; she had been nursing a Lady at Uxbridge, and is sup-
posed to have fallen into the Canal on her return home to the
Pdgeware road.
WoNDERFEL EscAer..—On Monday afternoon as Mr. New-
ton, of Stoke, was.comin7 into Bath, in a one-horse chaise, his
horse took fright, near the turnpike on the lower Bristol road,
and leaping at the gate, in a most surprising manner cleared it,
and dragged the carriage after without overturning it or throw-
ing nut his driver. who stopped his progress by overthrowing
the gig against a heap of stones, lying at a short distance in the
road. Mr. Newton was only slightly bruised upon the arm;
but the turnpikeman received a severe contusion on his temple
and remains extremely ill.
Tuesday afternoon as Mr. Luther, son of a merchant residing
in King's-road, Chelsea, was riding along Gloucester-place,
New-road, he met a groom riding at a brisk rate With a led
horse, and Mr. L. not keeping at a proper distance, the led
horse threw out both his. feet, and having struck him, broke
his thigh in a shocking manner, so that it must undergo imme-
diate amputation.
On Sunday morning, a poor woman, the wife of one or the
privates in the Life Guards, threw herself into the Serpentine
River. A blacksmith, who was on the spot, plunged after her.
In the struggle she kept him so long under wafter, that when
brought out, by the assistance of others, they were both taken
to St; George's Workhouse, where the man, it is feared will not
survive.

'with unexampled calmness and fortitude, Thomas Holcroft, Esq.
author of Hugh Trevor, the Road Ruin. and a number of
other Works. He was in his 61st year. Mr. Holeroft's has
been a life of literary labour. He possessed great natural en-
dowments, and a most burning desire of-knowledge. He owed
all his attainments to his own thirst of information, and over-
came every impediment that suppressed the ardour of his mind.
Forseveral years he was a Comedian of eminence in several re-
spectable Provincial Companies, and came to London in the
year MS. From that time till the day of his last illness, he
has been indefatigably engaged in almost every department of
literature. Ile acquired by his own assiduity, such a knowledge
of the languages, as to enable him to translate freely from the
French, Italian, *and German; and his Dramatic Pieces, a-
'well as Novels, entitle him to no ordinary praise as a fruitful
and able writer. We lament to say, that he has left an amiable
wife and six children, the oldest of whom is only nine years,
totally unprovided for. lie has also left two daughters by his
first marriage.

LONDON MARKETS.

cow* EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY, MARCH 24.—We have not had much Wheat up
since Monday, yet more than sufficient for the demand. From
the quantity of Flour on hand, our Millers whew little inclina-
tion to purchase. hence the sales continue dull, and with no int-
.provement either in quality or price. Rye is rather de:trer.—
Fine Barley and White Peas fully keep their price. Oats are
dearer, and sold freely at Is. per quarter more than on Monday.
Flour heavy, and rather cheaper.
