SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF A GIRL.

Mr. Bedford coroner for Westminster, proceeded
yesterday morijing with a lengthened investiga-
tion, at Westminster. Hospital, respecting the death
of Ellen -Daleyi aged .16, who took a quantity of
essence of bitter almonds, under -very extraordinary
circumstances. ' • •
From the evidence of Catherine Collins, it ap-
peared, that on Thursday evening last, she went te
No. 5, George-street, Broadway, where deceaied
lived with her mother. On going into the room
she saw deceased sitting at the table with a cup in
her hand,
.and on the table was a small phial empty,
which deceased told her to smell, saying it was like
honey, and then handed her (witness) the cup, in
which was some, liquid, which deceased mid she
had poured from the phial. Witness asked what
she was going 'to do with it, when she said she was
going" to drink it, and almost immediately did so,
when-her head fell, forward, and she became speech-:
less and , appeared to be dead. 'Without delay she
Was conveyed. to Westminster Hospital, and at-
tended by Mr: Trendall, assistant-house surgeon,'
but, netwithstanding• every remedy, she sank and
expired in a few.lnoments..

It further appeared from the statements of. other
witnesses, that the deceased had been home only a
week froin a situation she was in at Windsor,
where it is supposed the poison was brought from.
The deceased was to have been married to a young
man, named.ltichard Hill, on Sunday next, Which
4/1, she fixed herself on Monday evening last.
The `medical testimony showed that/ death was
caused from •the swallowing of the, essence of
almonds, and *further went to show that, some
doubts-existed of foul play towards 'the deceased.
The Coroner then remarked that it *as one of
the most extraordinary and mysterious cases he had
known for some time, and he considered that the
further hearing of the case had better be adjourned
in order to find out whether the poison was really
brought from the house in which, the deceased was
in service at Windsor or not. The account that
was glven of her coming frOm her ,situations and
other fac4ltWidgCl:tptthrow susifieion.on 'the, case,-
and therefore he considered the case had bettell4o:
adjourned.
The jury concurred,

,
Atio:l3ullien, owing to the arrivals.froin the United.
States and Australia, shows a small addition. The
-increased _.demand for money,.howeiefi has caused
a slight augmentation in the other securities, and
the reserve, of notes has been dithiniShed by over
.half &..million sterling. In the public deposite
there is a further accumulation, but the active Col-
lectiOn.df the revenue has caused a decrease in the
private deposits of more than a million sterling ;
arid in the •aCtive circulation there is an increase of
fully three-quarters of a million. The other items
of the balance-sheet exhibit no material alteration.

The demand for money is well sustained, and the
binking and discount establishments find' their
resources saniewhat reduced. The consequence is
that the applications at the Bank have largely in-
creased,
_and the possibility of a speedy reduction
in the. 'rate of discount no longer pro-
,motes fiiscussion.
