CORONER'S INQUEST.

On Saturday afternoon an inquisition was taken
at the George Inn, Holloway, before Thomas Stir-
ling, Esq., coroner, on view of the body of Mary
Ann Palmer, aged 38, who terminated her existence
under the following circumstances :
Mr. G. Culverwell, a surgeon of the Lower-road,
Holloway, deposed that the deceased was in the ser-
vice of Mr. Hardisty, of Molloway ; he had attended
her professionally for about a fortnight before her
death; her indisposition was produced by a violent
cold, attended with fever. Witness saw her on
Wednesday last, when she was much better in health
but extremely low-spirited; on Thursday last wit-
ness was called in to attend the deceased. . He im-
mediately went, and found the unfortunate young
woman lying on the floor, with a dreadful wound in
her throat, which she had inflicted with a razor ;
she, however, was alive, and perfectly sensible ; the
wound had divided the windpipe and gullet, but not
the principal arteries. There was not a possibility
of her recovery, and the cause of her existing in such
a dreadful situation was, that she respired through
the wound instead of the mouth and nostrils. Wit-
ness stanched the blood, and she survived till the
next morning, when she expired from exhaustion,
arising from the wound she lad inflicted on herself.
Prior to her dissolution, she by signs (the power of
speech being completely destroyed) intimated that
she wished for pen, ink, and paper, which being
furnished her, she, labouring under great anguish,
and in an almost unintelligible hand, wrote
the following sentences :—" My master's house
has been robbed; but how, the Lord only knows.
I went out oue day, and locked up the house. When
I came home, I found the street door open, and all
my master's plate taken away; the Lord only knows
who got in while I was out : the circumstance has
preyed upon my mind, and has made me deranged;
I was deranged all night at the thought of my mas-
ter losing all his plate; but before I should be sus-
pected of stealing from my master I would die; I
committed the act while I was deranged, but when
I had done it I came to my senses." On witness
questioning her as to whether she had any other
thing on her mind besides her master being robbed,
she, although in a state that her life was not worth
five minutes purchase, wrote the following words :
" If it should please God to take me to-night, oh
how happy I should be ! I was once in happy cir-
cumstances, surrounded by friends, and even had a
servant to attend upon me, but that is all over, never
to return. I have had more troubles than I could
bear, but my brother's wife knows all about it. I
can write no more; my spirit will soon take its
flight."
Miss Hannah Hardisty—On last Thursday after-
noon, witness having occasion for something called
to the deceased, but she not being forthcoming, wit-
ness went up stairs to her room, and was shocked
at discovering her kneeling on the floor, with her
head reclining over a wash-hand basin, and in the act
of hacking at her throat, with a razor, from which
the blood was copiously flowing.
Mr. George Hardisty, of Holloway, and of the
Subpoena Office, Chancery-lane, stated that the un-
fortunate deceased laboured under a mere delusion
in supposing he had lately been robbed of consider-
able property. Such was not the case—he had
lost nothing. The deceased had been in his service
four months.
The Jury returned a verdict-4' That the de-
ceased committed the act whilst insane."

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--Mr. KENNEY'S
much abused Comedy—Forget and Forgive—compressed
into Three Acts, was on Saturday night perforraed at this
theatre. It was tolerably successful, but had it not been
for LISTON'S broad comedy would have been a decided
failure. The house was full.

CASSEL, MARCH 2.—The Opera of The
Marriage of Figaro was performed at the theatre of this
town yesterday. At the end of the first act a performer of
the name of PISTOR, who played the character of Bar-
lobo, placed himself before the looking-glass on returning
to the green room, and cut his throat so dreadfully that it
occasioned his death instantaneously. Another performer
played his character; in consequence of which the public
was not apprized of the tragical event till after the per-
formance was over.

MILTON'S will bears date 1670, and in 1674
he died. Introductory to one of the legacies is the fol-
lowing :—" Unto my daughter, next mentioned, I should
have bequeathed more, but she neglected me in my old
age ! I therefore," &c.

Mr. SEYMOUR, a gentleman of fortune and
family, in Wilts, has been found Guilty of having (in con-
cert with his footman, CHARLES MACKLIN) attempted to
commit an unnatural offence. The trial excited a great
sensation in the county. Mr. SEYMOUR has, we learn,
absconded, but his Advocate, Mr. Sergeant WILDE, says,
that he ha little doubt of being able toyver turn the verdict,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)

PORTSMOUTH, I‘l4 am 15.—We are sorry to state the
loss of his Majesty's bomb-vessel the Terror, Captain David
Hope, which sailed from this port on the 29th January, to
join the Mediterranean squadron: This unfortunate event
occurred on the 19th of February, on which day she was
wrecked at Villanova de Melfontes, near St. Übes (on the
coast of Portugal). All the officers and crew, except one
man, were saved, together with the stores, provisions, and
money—about 27,0001. in silver and copper coin, intended
for the use of the Commissariat at Malta.—The Jean (of
Quebec), from Liverpool, hound to Gibraltar, was lost on
the same day, within a half cable's length of the Terror;
and one-third of her cargo was saved, with the crew and
passengers, except an officer of the 42d Regiment, a wo-
man, and three children.

The following extract from a letter from Lisbon gives
snow further particulars of the loss of the Terror bomb,
and adds to that disaster, we are extremely sorry to say, a
still more melancholy one—the total loss of the transport
Ann and Amelia, Lieutenant Hopkins, agent, with all the
crew and passengers.: Lieut. Hopkins who was a good and
highly-esteemed officer, has left a widow and four young
children, living at Southsea, to deplore his. boas. Among
the passengers, we understand, was Mr. Peake, son of the
late Sir Henry Peake, late a Student in the School of
Naval Architecture, who was on his way to join his Ma-
jesty's ship Warspite, in a service connected with his pro-
fession. The Ann and Amelia was very valuably laden
with stores of all kinds for the Mediterranean Fleet.
TA oils, MARCH I.—On Sunday last we were sur-
prised by the arrival of Sir Thomas Dixon and the First
Lieutenant of his Majesty's late bomb the Terror, who had
travelled, dressed like freebooters, and armed with pistols,
more than 70 miles on foot, to obtain assistance from the
Admiral in the Tagus. Their ship, it appeared, after en-
countering tremendous weather, about 70 miles to the
southward of Lisbon, ran on shore near St. Übes, and
bilged. They found themselves, in the night time, in
about 15 fathoms water; they instantly let go the anchors,
but were in a moment thrown upon the beach. Fortu-
nately it was high water, and a sandy shore, or her bottom
would have been beat out, and all hands have perished.
The crew, happily, were all saved, except one man ; and
when the tide receded, they got her stores and specie out.
The Admiral sent the Pyramus and Lyra tender, and the
steam-packet has since sailed, to assist in endeavouring to
get her off.
'We have just learnt that the Ann and Amelia trans-
port, with stores for Malta, is lost oil Malta, about nine
leagues hence, and every soul perished. A few things
washed on shore, which the natives plundered.
The Revenge and Melville arrived on the 27th ult.,
after a boisterous passage of 18 days from Spithead.—The
Revenge, Wellesley, and Ocean, are to go up the Mediter-
ranean ; the Spartiate, Gloucester, Windsor Castle, and
Melville, return to England. General Sir Wm. Clinton
and Officers of the Staff will embark in the Spartiate,
with the Ist Battalion of the Grenadier Guards, consisting
of 600 men. The squadron are ordered to he ready for
the reception of the troops by the 3d instant, though we
do not expect to depart hence till the end of the month.
The Briton sails to-morrow with his Excellency Sir Win.
A'Court (now Lord Heytesbury), for Portsmouth.
We have received letters from the Cape of Good Hope,
dated 28th December, which mention the arrival in
Simon's Bay of the Tweed, 28, Lord H. Joh❑ Spencer
Churchill, from England, without any other casualty hap-
pening among either the officers or crew, since she left
St. Jago, excepting that Timothy Sullivan, seaman, fell
overboard on the 23d December, and was drowned. The
ship was quite healthy at the above date. The names of
tke Officers who died from the insidious brain fever which
developed itself in October and November; after the
Tweed left St. Jago, are thus particularised, to prevent
unnecessary distress among those who have surviving rela-
tives on board that ship:__
Mr. Henry Smart Crawford, son of Lieut.-Col. Craw-
ford, R.A. (lied 31st Oct. ; Mr. Young Green West, son
of Mr. West, surgeon, Poole, died 3d Nov. ; Mr. James
Napper, surgeon, died 4th Nov. ; Mr. Jas. Hyslop, school-
master, died 4th Nov. ; Mr. Arthur Bridgeman Simpson,
son of S. B. Simpson, Esq. Babworth, Retford, died 7th
Nov. ; Mr. John Augustus Aldham, son of Capt. George
Aldham, R.N., died 7th Nov. ; Mr. Chas. Wm. Thorn-
ton, son of the Right Hen. Sir Edward Thornton, Wem •
bury House, near Plymouth, died 14th November ; Jacob
Windsor, midshipman's servant, died 30th Oct.—Ma,
Napper, the surgeon, died of an inflammation of the
bowels, though produced by the same causes, namely, the
effects of the climate at St. Jago, and sleeping on shore: as
none of the ship's company slept on shore, none were
attacked, except the midshipmen's servant, who did sleep
on shore.

The Herald yacht, Capt. Astley, sailed from Madras on
the 19th October for Calcutta, to embark Lord Amherst
and family for England.
The Hasty schooner (for whose safety strong appre-
hensions were entertained) arrived at Madeira on Feb. 9,
and sailed again on the 11th, for the Cape of Good Hope.
The Sapphire, 28, Capt. Henry Dundas (the only ship
of war at Spithead), is expected to sail about Wednesday
next, for South America. _

. ,
'The Duke of York steam packet sailed this morning,
with passengers for Lisbon.
CoußTs MARTIAL—On Monday, the 3d inst., a Court
Martial was held on board his Majesty's ship Victory,
Capt. Sir Michael Seymour, Bart., 1(C.8., President,
to try Lieutenant Raymond Evans, of his Majesty's sloop
Badger, on a charge preferred against him by Commander
Charles Crowdy, of the said sloop, of a breach of part of
the 22d Article of War, in disobeying his (Commander
Crowdy's) orders relative to a proposed alteration in

birthing the men—when, after a minute investigation of
all the circumstances, the Court declared that the charge
had not been proved, and did adjudge Lieut. Evans to be
fully acquitted. Lieut. Evans (who had been six week
under arrest on the charge) was defended by Mr. James
Hoskins.
On Tuesday last, a Court Martial was held on board
his Majesty's ship Victory (Sir Michael Seymour, Bart.,
K.C.8., President), to try Commander Charles Crowdy,
of his Majesty's sloop Badger, on charges preferred against
him by Lieutenant Raymond Evans, for unofficerlike, un-
gentlemanly, and oppressive conduct to the officers and crew
of the Badger. Capt. Crowdy is to enter upon his defence
on Monday morning.
Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Charles Paget is appointed
to succeed Rear-Admiral Plampin, in the command of his
Majesty's ships stationed on the Coast of Ireland. Captain
M. Frederick Fitzhardinge Berkeley is appointed to com-
mand the Semiramis, the flag ship on that station.
Mr. 'William Harris (of Portsea) is appointed Purser of
the Icarus, at this port.
Mr. Henry Emery, Master Miller of his Majesty's Mills,
at Plymouth (formerly of Portsmouth), is removed to the
extensive Mills at Deptford.
Another instance of the scrupulous attention of his
Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral to the claims of
meritorious officers and their descendants has been recently
evinced. In the year 17811 Lieut. WDougall, off his
Majesty's cutter Flying Fish, on the Downs station, cap-
tured a French vessel much superior in force and number
of mea, for which gallant conduct the Flying Fish was im-
mediately rated as a sloop of war, and Lieut. M'Dougali
was made a Commander into the same vessel ; and at the
peace, in 1783, promoted to the rank of Post Captain,
anti, after 56 years of active service, died a Vice-Admiral.
On his Royal Highness's visit to this port, a grandson of
Admiral M‘Dougull presented a petition to the Lord High
Admiral, through his maternal great uncle, Admiral
Drury, stating his grandfather's services, and that the pe-
titioner was an orphan, and desirous of serving his 'Ma-
jesty. The petition was graciously received ; and, on
Monday last, the young man received an appointment as a
Lieutenant in the Royal Marines.
It is reported that the Committee of Finance has pre-
sented a strong remonstrance against the intended removal
of the Victualling Department from this to the Gosport
side of the harbour, as a measure which must be attended,
immediately or remotely with nn immense expenditure of
public money—it is said 400,0001. in a manner uncalled
for by the public service. Such, we believe, is the opinion
of most practical "common sense men," in this neighbour-
hood, as well those connected with the Naval service, as
others, and we cannot hut conclude that the Lord High
Admiral ham been most ill-advised on this matter. As the
convenience of the public service does not require the pro-
posed change, so the expense that must be attendant upon.
forming an Establishment at Weevil ought to forbid the
execution of the measure ; and we ask, what would be the
condition of the Victualling Department of this port, for,
practical efficiency, in case of any emergency requiring the
equipment of a large fleet of ships and transports, should,
all the capacious, well-fitted stores, and extensive wharfs
attached to that department be resigned for army or other
purposes, and for which they are, in their present state, ,
quite inapplicable? We are also glad to hear that the pro-
ject of enclosing the Common Hard within the Dock-yard
walls, is given up. Such an uncalled-for measure would
have incurred a vast expense, done irreparable injury t(
the private property of a vast number of the most respec-
table inhabitants of the place, and, indeed, would "have •
thrown the island (of Portsea) out of its propriety."

WAKEFIELD, March 14.
There is a fair supply of Wheat fresh up to this day's

down very low, the millers comply reluctantly, and
the sales made are not extensive. Oats are very dull.
The best samples of Barley are heavy sale, at the rates of
last Friday, and there is very little demand for the thin
and light qualities. Beans are very plentiful, such as ato
hard and dry obtain nearly last week's prices, but thnsn
which are in middling condition are nearly unsaleable..
