rOnroorna : „.
The Governor has reeeived' the communication which the
Alcaldes in Ordinary and the Regiders of the Illustrious Ca-
bildo have addressed to him. upOnthepropriety of suspending
the' romulgation of the Order in Connell that he has received
for the protection of the slaves.
The (lovernor has adverted ,to the laws alluded to by the
Cabildo. In that of the Particles* he recognises a benevolent.
'disposition on the part of the Sovereign to receive the repre-
sentations of' his people, on subjects ;greeting their local in-
terests; in that of the frlies,t however, the exercise of the
powers thereby conferred is made to depend on the views which
the authorities, to whom these powers are entrusted, may take
of .try order transmitted to them for execution. •
The Governor does not.think, upon mature reflection, that
those laws govern the present case.
For nearly twelve months pest, not only have the provisions
of the Order been distinctly notified to the inhabitants, hut
every facility has been afforded to those who might consider
themselves affected by the enactment of them to express their
sentiments on their probable effects.
The representations and resolutions of the different quarters
of the Island have all been transmitted to his Majesty's (,o-
vernment without reserve; and the Order in question has since
been framed. and has been submitted to, .and received unqua.
lifted, the approbation of bath !louses of Parliament. The
Law of Particle adverted to, expressly commands, that if the
Sovereign persists In the signification of his pleasure, his orders
shall be Carried into effect ; and admitting, therefore, that law
to he applicable on the occasion, the terms of it seem evidently
opposed to the object of the Chianti° in referring to it.
The Governor regrets that the especial commands which he
has received from los Majesty's Government for carrying this
order into effect, will prevent his complying with the wishes
of the Cabildo ; buthis Excellency will not fail to tranaptit to
the Secretary of State the representation which that Body have
addressed to him upon titcepresent occasion ; and in the mean
time he relies with confidence on the fidelity and. attachment
of the Csbildo ;to his Majesty'a Person and Government, to
promote, within the sphere of their influence, 'that obedience to
the law which is necessary to the tranquillity (lithe Coloey.

SHOCKING SUICIDE.

CORONER'S INQUEST ose SIR J. FITZGERALD, Bart.

Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, a Jury
was summoned before THOM*B STIRLINO. Esq. Coroner, to
inquire into the circumstances connected with the death of the
above Baronet.

The Jury, which were gentlemen of the greatest respectabi-
lity, assembled in the deceased's drawing-room, a No. 67,
'
Baker-street, Portman-square. Joseph Hume Fe;q. 31. P. was
the Foreman. The Hon. Gentleman appeared to take great
interest in the proceedings, and was very minute in noting
the whole of the evidence which came under the Jury's con.
sideration.

The decea4ed, Sir James Fitzerald, our ceaders are proba-
bly aware, was between 00 and 70 years of age ; at No. 07, in
Baker-street, lie had resided but a short time, having removed
from another houile in the same street, and previous to that
from Bath, where he had been sojourning for the benefit of his
health. Sir James-, it appears, about four years since went into
Ireland, where ho has considerable landed property, as also
personal in his Banket's hands. He there met with a
severe paralytic affection, which considerably disordered his
intellects, and front that time he has appeared to his friends
as a different man.• On returning to England, his peculiar
manner was particularly observed by• his intimate friends, and
those with whom he was in the habit of daily transacting busi-
ness. In his banker's hand in London was lodged a consi-
derable sum, and 'therefore it cannot for a moment be pre-
sumed that circumstances may have disordered his mind. At
his banker's he was a daily visitor, and there again his peculiar
manner did not pass unnoticed. With those Gentlemen
he had for years transacted a multiplicity of business, and
lodged in their 'hands title 'deeds of extensive property.—
On his return from Ireland, instand of meeting those Gentle-
men in the condescending manner they had hitherto charac-
wised his behaviour, he was fearful that his property was
wasted, and more than once during the day, has he been en.
gaged. upwards of two hours turning over the old title-deeds,
to ascertain that none were misplaced. His conduct with this
Solicitor, Mr. Kaye, was equally singular, and from that gen-
tleman's evidence, it will he seen what was his opinion re-
specting the deceased's state of mind. His peculiar demea-
nour in walking the house during the night, when he has fre-
quently hastened Into his study, and wrote a note to a friend,
excited suspicion that he was deranged. In fact his appear-
ance for the last few months, when he has addressed his ser-
vants in a forgetful and hurried manner, and his own exclama-
tion " that it was his head," will naturally lead to the same
conclusion that the Jury have formed.
The Jury having been sworn, they awaited the attendance
of evidence, when Mr. KATE rose to address the Jury re-
specting the deceased's state of mind. He was proceeding to
detail that their house of business had been employed by Sir
J. Fitzgerald. They had not had the honour of seeing him
for sonic months past until Friday last, when he called at the
office.

The Conoxtft, interrupted Mr. Kaye, and reminded him
that he was giving evidence, but be had better be sworn.
Mr. Kay said he was merely wishing to inform the Jury
of the deceased's state of mind ; what he said at the time was
extremely loose.
The Cowmen again interrupted him, and said that such a
statement must he given upon oath.
suggested that they had better call the servant
who first saw the deceased, and hear his testimony.
John Cross, the servant: was then examined. He said, on morningl• opened the bed-room door at. Aix o'clock ;
I found the cleansed lying on the right hand aide of the bedl
with, a. pistol•bp his hand, and another lying beside him. I
found some difficulty in gaining entrance ; one of the servants
bad'heard'tlitziePort of a pistol, and:taking the cleaver I forced
open.the doter; I immediately went for Alr. Powell, a medical
gentleman; tnd,he returned with mo ; we lifted the deceased
up, and, tbanitvery little remains, of life ; from that time be
lived untiLtetrminutes after two o'clock. After Dr. Powell
had arrivedr'llii. Lockley, another medical gentleman, was
• sent for:

Examined by Mr. Kaye: Attended Sir .lames on Monday
in the Park, and . found hint very strange in his manner; he
would complain of the coachman driving too fast when he was
almost in a walk. On'returning borne he fell off' the steps of
the carriage, and fell under-and scraped the skin off'his arm,
• when he mikhgo,(4i!,4,l4fritic j 0 he was rather weak in his head.

Witness resumed: I had heard him walk About very early in
the morning, but upon Mentioning it to the lady's 1.1341, t.
found it was not unusual - Sir James wits a very quiet Ina"
and never had any quarrel: with any one.
A Juror Said he has known hint for some time to walk about
early in the morning, both in London and &flowed': •
Mr. mE suggested, that a gentletrian, named !font, ghoul('
he called to speak to the state of his mind: lie had been in
the habit of conversing with Sir „hones o 9 business, and conae-
quently was capable of forming au opinion.
Hunt was then'sworm:- *he Said that he had known Sir
James several years, and was; .occasionally in the habit of taking
houses front him. He lately let this house to sir James, and
saw hint five or six times on the subject, hut lately his behaviour
was so very strange, that he 'Mentioned the circumstance to
Mrs, Hunt. • Ills conduct upon the whole was so very singular
that he was unwilling to let him the houSew fin ;Monday
morning he saw Sir James passing down Baker-street, and for
the first time passed without speaking, he was talking to him-
self. Ile was walking much quicker than usual, and appeared
greatly agitated ; coming to him on the purpose of taking the
hoiple, he would break oil' and speak upon some other subject
quite foreign to the purpose. Ile first took the house, hut his
own unsteadiness made the witness consider he was not right in
his mind, and that he should have some trouble with him if he
took the house.—Mr. Kaye, son of the Bank Solicitor, said,
sihce I saw Sir Jaines, I have observed him to labour under a
considerable depression of spirits, a want of firmness in matters
of business, which I attributed to an exhaustion of mind. His
orders would vary, and no reliance could be placed on him.
On Friday he called at the Office, and expressed a wish to see
my fatikr, who was out of town. He said he would go to his
friend, lir. Harm end., and hay' lig °caution to. o intoßroad-street
shortl after, 1 found him Walking up and down by Mr. liar-
mond's door:. I pressed shim to go home, which he agreed to;
,viol respect to his affairs, they were, I can lumen, in a pros..
l,creus conditiort—Nr. wrjxlit, the banker, of Covent.gar.
den, one orthe Jury; said, fie hail been acquainted with the
Ades:leased ..upwardis of 111 years ; about four years since he
went to Ireland, when he was airottltti: with a paralytic affee..

tion, and he observed, that his mind from that time was
completely deranged; his letters were in character very sin-
gular, and he kept the deceased's correspondence, thinking it
would be of service to his relatives to take out a Commission
of Lunacy; since that time his limbs have become paralysed.
He kept his accounts with various bankers, and was a man of
great property. (an coming to the banking-house, ho would
quarrel about trifles, and, looking over his deeds which were
lodged at the house, would say that he was afraid *true person
was robbing him. fie Was naturally a good-natured man, and
would beg pardon for giving solnuch trouble. He was,parti-
'cularly apprehensive some persoqs were robbing him, and that
they had burnt a house of his in Ireland.
Mr. Hu ME remarked, that such occurrences often operate
upon strong minds, and prodUce more severe effects upon
them, than if they occurred to those persons possessing weak
minds.

Mr. Powell, the surgeon, of •Mancheater.street, was next
examined: he said, when called on, he found the deceased
lying on the floor, with his head partly under the valens of the
bed, and a pistol in hls• hand. On examining the 'body, he
found the chargebf the pistol had took away partof the frontal
bone, and entering the orbit of the eye, had carried it out of
the socket, and, passing into the brain, part of them had pro.
truded out of the aperture in the skull. The ball did not
lodge in the head, for, on raising him from the ground, it fell
out of the head. The deCeased died of the effects of the
wound at the time before mentioned. The pistols were pro-
duced, and also the fatal ball. They .were common•qmd
pocket-pistols.
The Jury upon this took a 'clew of the body, which pre.
sented a most appalling spectacle, and on their return they
unanimously gave the following verdict :—" That the de-
ceased, Sir James Fitzgerald, put an end to his existence by
Shooting himself with a pistol, being at the time in a state of
temporary mental derangement, produced by paralysis, ex-
haustion, and mental debility."--A number of the deceased's
friends were in the room, and were much affected.
