UNREQUITED AFFECTION.

Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was taken at
the Barking Dog public-house, North-street, City-road, before
THOMAS STint.ixo, Esq. and I.JxvitN, jun. Esq.
Coroners, on the body of Frances Harriett lleardson.
Edward Green, jun. of Islington Wharf, Regent's Canal,
deposed, that on .Monday evening, soon after nine o'clock, a
person knocked at his door, and said a young woman had just
thrown herself into the water. Heinstantly repaired to the
spot (near the bridge, City-road), with drags, and got the de-
ceased out of the Canal.
Thomas Heardson, a pipe-maker, residing in Arthur-street,
Golden-lane, father of the deceased, was then sworn.—For two
or three weeks past, he said, she had been in a distressed state
of mind, and talked incoherently about a young man who had
" kept company" with her. On Monday evening that young
man called upon her, and they walked out together. They re-
turned in about three quarters of ailliour, and witness heard
them talking at the street door. Shdrtly afterwards he heard
the door shut, and he never saw his daughter again. She was
ill on Sunday. He should not consider her in a sound state of
mind, and had no doubt she threw herself into the water. She-
was 26 years of age last January.
John Jay, of Wrest-place, City-road, the young man to whom
the last witness alluded, was sworn, and deposed, that he saw
the deceased on Monday evening. He could not say how long
before she destroyed herself. He received a note from her on
that day requesting an interview. He called on her in the even-
ing, and expressed his surprise that she should write to him, as
he did not wish to see her any more. He had known her about
six months, but was " not keeping company with her."
Heardson—Not keeping company—what then ? Why you
were with her on Friday.
The letter from the deceased to the witness was then handed
to the Coroner and Jury, and clearly proved the intimacy which
subsisted between them.
Mr. STIRLING-It is plain from this letter that you had
gained the affections of this young woman, and have since de-
serted her. Your conduct is very reprehensible, and you now
see the ill effects of it.
Mr. Green (a Juror) to the Witness—Did not the deceased
tell you that she would destroy herself? No, Sir, she did not.
Juror—A paper was found pinned in her pocket. Were you
not with her when she bought the paper ? The witness acknow-
ledged that he was, but she toll him it was to write a letter to
her sister.
Juror—You left her a few minutes after nine ; on your oath,
did she not tell you that she would destroy herself? No, she
did not.
Mr. STIRLING—If the Jury thought the deceased was in an
unsound state of mind at the time, they would say so by their
verdict. Verdict—" Insanity."

At a vestry meeting on Thtirsday Edmon-
ton, the Rev. Mr. WARREN, the Vicar, muved (purSuant to
notice given at a former vestry) " that a petition against further
concessions to the Catholics be read, and presented to Parlia-
ment," when the Rev. Mr. WILLtAms moved an amendment,
" that the consideration of the petition now proposed to be read
be adjourned sine die," which was carried unanimously. The
original motion for the petition against the Catholic Claims was
consequently lost.
The Leeds and Wakefield 'rolls were let at
an advance of eleven hundred and twenty pounds
a few days since.
MR.. SAVER Y.—Respecting the probable fate
of this unfortunate man, the Editor of the Bristol
Gazette says, the usual time for execution would
expire on Friday week, and the authorities for
seeing the same fulfilled in this city had received
no communication on the subjcaof postponement.
