SUICIDE.

An Inquest was held on Tuesday evening-be.
fore T. STintrioa, Esq. Coroner, at the Belvidere Tavern,
Pentonville' on view of the body of an interesting young wo-
man named Alary Lock, who hung herself in a lit of derange-
ment, occasioned by disappointment in love.
John Scott, Esq. of No. 16, 'Middleton-terrace, Pentonville,
being sworn, stated, that deceased lived with him as a servant
on Saturday morning last Mrs. Scott came into the room in
great agitation, and witness could just understand that Mary had
hung herself in the area ; witness went down as fast as he could,
and found her suspended by a rope fastened to a railing, a part
of which still remains ; witness instantly cut her down, but she
was quite stiff; and witness supposes she had been there all
night ; a medical man was sent for, but he said the body was
cold, and he could render no assistance.
Mary Elizabeth Phillips stated she knew deceased perfectly;
she had kept company for some months with a .young man
named John ilawess, a carpenter; deceased informed witness
she expected to be his wife in a fortnight; saw deceased acci-
dentally, who said she had heard that he was married to another
woman, which he denied, and was very angry with her for be-
lieving it ; she. seemed very wretched in consequence, and said
she certainly regarded him very much; she sighed greatly, and
appeared very miserable.
Ann Eversley said she knew deceased amid about a week ago
she said that she was going to be married to a young man after
Christmas.

Sarah Hanson said she was intimate with deceased, knew she
kept company with a young man, a carpenter, having been out
walking with them ; deceased told witness he had promised her
marriage about three months ago ; she was very low spirited in
consequence of his conduct towards her so long as two months
ago, since which time witness has seen very little of deceased.
Sarah Lock, sister of deceased, said she had seen her sister
and Hawes together. Deceased said to witness, that he wished
her to settle, but she put it off; deceased afterwards told wit-
ness that newts said to her, he had been married a month or
six weeks ; he then afterwards told her he was not married;
witness saw her sister on Sunday evening, and thought she
looked very dull.
This being the whole of the evidence, it was intimated that
the key of the area. gate in which the unfortunate woman had
put an end to her existence, was missing, and of which no at-
count could be given.
The CORONER, therefore summed up the evidence, and
dwelt in very strong terms upon the conduct of Hawes, who
had been the occasion of her death; and as the key of the
gate was missing, he recommended the parties to apply to the
Magistrates at Hatton-garden respecting the recovery of it, for
he certainly did consider the man deserving of some pu-
nishinent.

The Jury, accordingly, returned their verdict--" That the
deceased hung herself, being at the time in a state of tempurerY
mental dereangment."

A reprieve arrived at the County Prison on Sa-
turday morning (28th ult.) for the two burglars:
Lewis and Oliver, who were left for execution at
the late Assizes. On the happy intelligence being
communicated to these unfortunate men, their
feelings were so overcome that they fell on their
knees, and remained speechless for some moments.
Their conduct while under sentence of death was
most exemplary, and they evinced the greatest
penitence and contrition. We wish we could say
the same of.Hartky (who attempted to assassi-
nate Capt. Owen, of the Bellerophon), bnt that is
not in our power. This miserable being appears lost
to every sense of remorse or religious feeling. In
vain does the Rev. Chaplain of the prison endea-
vour to excite in his Mind a proper sense of hisaw-
ful condition, and cautions him to beware of that
rock of infidelity on which so many have foundered ;
but, alas ! the desolating ideas of Paine and Car-
lik, have taken such deep hold of him, that the
exhortations of the Rev. Gentleman are rendered
of no avail. The warrant for the execution of
this wretched man is arrived, and will be carried
into effect on Thursday next (this day.)—(Maid-
