MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.

Yesterday evening an Inquisition was taken at
the Triumphant Chariot, Pembroke-mews, Gros•
venor-square, before THOMAS 1-116ds; Esq: Coro-
ner, upon the wife of Mr. S— S—, of Stafford-
street, Bond-street, .who put a period to her" ex-
istence by cutting her throat. l'he deceased r..as
about forty-five years of age, and was married
only bbout three years ; she never had any chil-
dren. The husband of t-he deceased stated, that
he had left her after breakfast on last Thursday
morning ; she- was then apparently in better
health than she had been for several years, having
been ailing about ten yeari before their marriage.
tie returned home about one o'clock, whets lie
was surprised at not finding the key in the door;
he went down stairs to enquire if she went out,
as he had told her in the morning to go out to
take the air ; upon being informed in the nega-
tive, lie went up to the door again ; in the
mean time she .opened it, and when he entered,
she came towards hint, clung round his ShOlll-
- and kissed hitt,. She was nearly covered
with blood, her hair covered mostly, all
her face and shoulders, and she was bleeding from
the throat profusely ; she pointed to the razor
now produced, which was lying open upon the
table, • and intimated by sighs she had cut- her
throat with it ; byrhe loss of blood her senses
having recovered, sloe seemed desirous of living ;
with difficulty lie extricated himself from her and
sent for a surgeon, who attended immediately,
and ordered her to the hospital, which was ire-
cordingly done ; she kissed her husband several
times in the hospital; he concealed the raiors in
a box when he went out in the morning; ,she had
been in a state of dejection for the last twelve
mouths, and went to her sister's, in Doctors'
Commons, some time antecedent to her death,
wit. re she attempted to hang herself, and had
been home only a few days ; lie had Stio idea, al-
though. he knew her mind was disordered, that
she would lay violent hands upon herself, he only
though she wanted a more lively society. Ver-
dict--'` The deceased Met her death 'by her own
act, iU a state of derangenrcut."

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.—From calculation
by the College of Physicians, no less t han 40,000
die annually in Great Britain ot Consumption,
and at least 10,000 in London. The late William
Turnbull, Esq. a very ingenious Surgeon, a•cer-
(Hine(' that every 2011 person was ruptured.—
These complaints are truly alarming to every in-
dividoal who uses the least exertion. It is also
incredible the number that suffer Rom a certain
I)'sease, by being improperly treated. It was
those circumstances induced Dr. Cooetiß to select
eminent Physicians and Surgeons, of at least 30
years' experience, to Corm a Medical Board; and
since the establishment upwards of 30,000 Pa-
tients have been cured without confinement—
uta_ny ot them after hospitals had failed.
