CORONER'S INQUEST.

On Saturday an Inquest was held at the Queen's
Head public-house, in the Strand, before Mr.
HIGGS, Deputy Coroner for Westminster, on the
body of Isaac Kendal, an elderly gentleman, who
lived in Salisbury-street, Strand, and was found
dead in his bed-room on Friday morning under
the circumstances stated in the evidence.
Mr. Felix Fitzpatrick, a student in Gray's Inn, stated that he
had lodged in the deceased's house about a week before Friday,
during which time he breakfasted with the deceased and his fa-
mily, and observed that he laboured under a great depression of
spirits and occasional absence of mind. One evening witness told
the deceased he was going to Drury-lane Theatre,and inquired the
way, which he told him,and at the same time asked the witness for
a clothes brush he had lent him in the morning, which witness
immediately brought to him. The deceased then asked him,
whether he would not like to go out for a walk with his son,
apparently forgetting that witness had, the moment before, told
him he was going to the theatre. On Friday morning, about
10 o'clock, witness was sitting in the parlour, and was alarmed
by Mrs. Renshaw, a lady who was for a few days on a visit at
the deceased's house, desiring him, in a very agitated manner,
to run up to Mr. Kendal's room. He did so, accompanied by
a gentleman who was in the parlour, and, on coming to the
deceased's bedroom door, he found Mrs. Kendal and the maid
outside, the door fast, and blood streaming out under it. The
door was instantly burst open, and the deceased was found
sitting in a chair, leaning on a table near the door, in his shirt
and night-cap. There was a deep incision on the right side of
his neck, and the floor near the place where he sat was covered
with blood, and a razor, also bloody, was lying on it. The de-
ceased was quite dead, but witness did not feel whether he was
cold. A surgeon was sent for, who came in about 20 minutes.
The witness, during the time he lodged in the deceased's house,
observed that his wife and son watched him with great anxiety.
Mr. Durham, a gentleman who lodged in the deceased's
house Since the 16th of the month, gave the same account of
the situation in which the deceased was found on breaking open
his bedroom door, which witness observed was locked on the
inside. This witness stated, that he lodged in the deceased's
house about a year ago, at which time he appeared a very
healthy man, and always in excellent spirits; but on coming
to lodge there lately, witness observed the greatest differ-
ence in his appearance and manners ; his body was wasted,
and his spirits depressed. On Wednesday evening last, Mrs.
Kendal requested the witness to endeavour to arouse him by
conversation, which he did. The deceased complained to him
greatly of his head, and appeared to labour under a great de-
pression of spirits.
Mr. Beamont Renshaw, a gentleman who resides at Farn-
bury, in Kent, stated that he had been acquainted with
the deceased fbr forty years. He was, till within the last
year, a person of excellent spirits, but of late he became
greatly depressed. About four months since, witness in-
vited him to the country, thinking it would do him good :
he went, but was so low spirited, that he could seldom be
prevailed on to walk out. He appeared to be in a state of re-
ligious melancholy ; and intreated a lady who was at witness's
house to pray for him. The witness's wife had since frequently
mentioned to him that she was afraid the deceased would de-
stroy himself, as he was evidently losing his reason.
Ann Parr, servant to the deceased, stated that she had lived
in his family for the last eleven months. Both his appearance
and manners became greatly altered of late ; she was unable to
understand him, and obliged to inquire of her mistress what he
meant.

Mr. C. Kendal, the deceased's son, who holds a respectable
situation in the city, stated several instances of the deceased's
conduct of late that evinced loss of reason. He was himself
constantly praying that God would spare his reason, which he
found going fast. This witness was overpowered 1:3, his feel-
ings, and the Jury unanimously declared that they did not wish
to hear any farther evidence, and immediately returned a ver-
dict of " insanity."

LISMORE.-We can best contemplate with
pleasure the grateful and lively sensations that
are created in others, when a great and noble
character• visits his estates, affording confidence,
comfort, and happiness to thousands. As a proof
we cannot refer to the little town of Lismore
without noticing the effect of his Grace the Duke
of DEVONSHIRE'S late visit there ; the thatched
cottages are vanishing fast, good substantial stone
buildings erected in their place ; a noble inn, fit
to entertain the most sumptuous parties, and
even the trading community, greatly improving.

EXTRAORDINARY FACT.—Our readers will re-
collect that a few weeks since we inserted a
paragraph, stating that the Bishop of CHICHESTER
had presented one of his tenants with a hundred
pounds, as a deduction from his rent. This kind
act has brought a host of applicants upon his
Lordship's bounty, as well personally as by
letter. It is positively a fact, that a few days
ago his Lordship received a letter, stating that
the writer, presuming on his known liberality, had
forged his Lordship's acceptance to a bill of thirty
pounds! which would be presented in the course
of the week for payment; and that should his
Lordship refuse to take up the draft, he would
hear of a Coroner's Inquest in a few hours after-
wards. Thus the case stands at present.—

SUDDEN DEATH.—Mr. HILL, superintendant
of the school for the indigent blind, St. George's
Fields, went to bed in good health on Sunday
night, and was found dead next morning.

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS,

DURING THE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Nor. 26.
There was a very great diminution in the supply of Wheat
as well as of Oats, and of Barley there has been none since
this day se'nnight. Comparing the relative value of malting
Barley and of Oats with Wheat, it strikes us that it might be
of essential service to the farther, if the Legislature would
give permission to the distillers to make use of Wheat.—
There was very little done at to-day's market; speculators
would not buy, and dealers but sparingly. New Irish Wheat
could have been bought 2d per bushel, and New Oats Id per
bushel lower than on last Tuesday Old Wheat and Oats still
maintain their price, and there was no alteration worthy of
notice in any article in the trade. There is some inquiry for
Bonded Oats ; but none for any other description of Grain
under lock.
