vernor•General would be pleased to communicate to

that Re'solution ; which His Excellency aceordingly.
4odertouk to do.

Yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock, AK.
TuoNY GELL, Esq. Coroner for Westminster, held:
an Inquest, at the sign of the Hoop and Grapes,
Queen-8:1one,, on the body of Miss MARY CRAM.
1.-AxrE, who was drowned in the Canal in St. James's
Park, about one o'clock on Monday afternoon.—
When the Jury were sworn they took a view of the
body ; after which they proceeded to examine the
witnesses.

Francis Yarrow, one of the Park-keepers, deposed,
that about half past one o'clock on Monday after.
noon, he being near the Guard-house at the Queen's
Palace, heard the alarm given that a young Lady was
drowning in the Canal ! He immediately ran and
climbed over the paling. • He saw the deceased on
the surface of the water, with her face downwards.
He came. to the waterside near the paling, that di.
vides the Park, on the Westminster, side, facing
Queen.square Gate. Yarrow could not swim, and
was therefore afraid to venture in. A Waterman, who
attends the coach rank at Buckingham Gate, came
up, threw off his clothes, and plunged in. He
brought the body to the bank, and assisted him to
take it out of the water, at which time it was ap.
patently dead. They held up the body with the head
downwards, and some _water came out of her mouth.
With some assistance they carried the body to the
Hoop and Grapes • Public.house, near .Queen.
Square.
Robert Burnett, Waterman to the coach-rank, near
Btickingham Gate, deposed, that on Monday last,
about half past twelve o'clock, a hackney coach set
down the deceased outside Buckingham Gate. He
saw her pay the coachman his fare, and desired him
to remain there untitshe, came back, as she must go
into St. James's Park. The coachman desired her to
remain a little longer in the coach, as it rained very
heavy at the time, to which she made answer, " I
iball be wetter presently." Burnett saw her walk'
down towards the trees, on the Mall, and though
the rain fell down in torrents, she .held a small urn.
brella, which was in her hand, down by her 'side,
without making any use of it to guard off the .rain.
Some time after he heard a Gentleman give an alarm,
at the Lodge, that there was a' Lady drowning in
the Canal; that he immediately ran and climbed over
the railing ; that there were two men running down
also in the same diredion ; and that they were a
considerable way before the Deponent on the \Vest.
minster side of the water. The Deponent saw the
body lying on the surface of the water. When he
came to the water-side, he asked the men if either
could swim ? They answered no ; on which the De-
ponent strii.ped off part of his clothes, and went in.
He rock hold of the deceased by the hand, to pull
her to the bank, when she struggled twice, as if
pulling away her hand. She was, however, at last
taken out of the water. He held her round the
middle, and made the other hold bp her feet, with
her head down, when there was discharged about a
cuart of water. There appeared no signs of life.
She was then carried away, and the Deponent saw
her no more. • He heard the coachman say she took
his coach from the Minories.

John Brooks, another witness (but not put to Vt
oath), said; that as he was returning home from the
City, through St. James's Park, and came as far as
the centinel who stands facing St. James's Palace,
running quickly at the time, as it trained very heavy,
the centinel cried to him—" For God's sake make
haste and save a Lady who is drowning in the
Canal !" He then looked and saw the Lady in question
in the water, and heard her cry in a most piteous
manner, which hurt his feelings very much ; he ran
down to go to her assistance ; but he was some con-
siderable time before he' could get over the railing,
on account of the spikes. She kept uttering dread.
ful moans. He had to go round the canal, as she
was on the opposite side. He gave the alarM to the
soldiers, who were at the Queen's Guard Room ;
but they only made a ridicule of hiM, and none of
them came: to afford her any assistance. He .was
not well himself; and having taken • medicine the
night before, he did not like to go into the water.
Two men joined him at .the water.side ;• one of
them, the last Witness, stripped and brought the
body out of the water.
Mr. Whitrow, a Partner of the deceased's father,
41 Champante and Whitrow," wholesale .stationers
in Jewry street, Aldgate, said, that the father of the
deceased could not attend, his feelings having been
so afFeCted. The deceased was Mr. Champante's
second daughter. She was in the ItSt year of
her age. 'Three yeah ago she appeared not
altogether so colletted as she should be ; but
never slimed any particular symptoms of insa-
nity before. On Monday morning last she returned
from Chelsea by the stage. Site was there on a
visit. She ran, on her return, to her father, who
sat writing at his desk, to communictite some tri-
fling affair to him. Fit being busy settling some
accompts, desired her, rather hastily, to withdraw;
which check had such an effed upon her, that she
ran out of the house. She told the servant-maid in
the kitchen that she would destroy herself ! She de..
sired her to get her a coach. She went out when it
rained very heavy. The maid imagined she went
to Mr. Whitrow's house, which was just oppiite ;
instead of which she turned round George-street;
into the Minories, where she took a each, and
drove as already stated.

. Thus ended the evidence. There were no Me.i.
dical Gentlemen exatnined. • Without any ilesitu.,
Lion, the Coroner returned a verdia that the young`
Lady was " Deranged in her mind, and, in a ft
of irtranit,y,drouned hersilf;'' which verdict was
signed by the Jury. .
On inquiry we learnt, that when the 4eceased
was' brought to the Public Howe, there was a Nte.
JIM Gentleman, who lived in the neighbourhood;
sent for. He came and looted -at the body, and
immediately. went a.E. Those presenrilliagiOed he
went fur some assistance; but hco nbitierab:e. citric

Ground, Binksi3e, on a.view of the b )d}i of :`.11.v
Buq, who was found lunging to a blain, in her
house, on Tuesday last.

The circumstances attending this shocking suicide
are singular.. It appeared in evidence, that the,,
husband of the deceased, 'who is an •indastrious-
cOal.porter, employed at Messrs. Dickensan and
Co.'s wharf, had lately received a legacy of between.
fifty and sixty pounds, in consequence of the dcath
of a relation. The money being entrusted to the
deceased, she secreted it, and endeavoured to I.t.!ep
it from her husband, by hiding it' in such a si_
tuation as she thought he could not discover ; the;
consequence was, a quarrel ensued, Mows sue_
ceeded, and in the event; the husband found the
money. On Sunday morning last, she breakfaste,l
with him and several of his companions, apparently
in good hUmOur ; but soon after used many incoh,:!.
rent expressions, relative to an intent to destroy
herself; and, rushing suddenly out of the house,
ran down. the wharf next to Blackfriars Bridge,
from whence she got over the coal craft, ats plunged
into the river. The persons, who were in her corn.
pany, followed, dragged her our, and took her
home ; where she
.shitted her wet cloafhs, and again,
appeared easy in mind. • „On the Monday morning`
she expressed it' desire to •take a • walk with her hus.
