MURDER.—An Inquest was held yesterday, at
the Pinder of Wakefield, in Gray'slnn-lane, be-
fore Mr. SHELTON, Coroner for the County
,of
Middlesex, on the body of a child that ,was
found murdered within twenty yards of the above

named house.—lt appeared lioin the testimony of
a man named Chaiway, that on Thursday morn-
ing, as he was going to work, be observed a large
parcel lying in a,sort of ditch by the road side;
oil examining it be discovered it to contain a
male child : there were marks of great violence
on the head of the infant, and a quantity of blood
had been trickling down its face.—This witness
was corroborated by Smith, the parish constable,
and by another witness, named Ryder, who both
were of opinion the child's death was caused by
violence.—Mr. STIRLING recapitulated the evi-
dence' with his usual clearness, and the Jury, after
considerable deliberation, returned a verdict of
%%Mini Murder against some person or persons
unknown." ,

It will be, seen by oar House of Commons Report,_ of last
Hight, that the magnificent ceremony of the Coronation has
been postponed for a short time. It was found impossible to
complete the whole of the preparations for at least a fort-
night after the time originally appointed; and as delay thus
became unavoidable, it has, we believe, been deemed pru-
dent, in consequence of the Queen's request for an immediate
investigation of the charges against her, to postpone the
Coronation until the proceedings against her Majesty shall
have been finally terminated. How lung that will he, we
shall probably be enabled to form some accurate notion from
the determination of the House of Lords on Monday next.
With respect to the time at which the second reading of the
Bill of Pains and Penalties shall take place, should her Ma-.
jesty not again-alter her mind, and (really abandoning her
first claim for delay, irforder to procure witnnses from Italy),
adhere to her last request for an immediate investigation of
the charges against her, it is probable that their Lordships
will appoint an early day for the second reading, and instead
of adjourning, as was originally intended for her Majesty's
accommodation, will continue to sit until the painful pro-
ceedings shall have been brought to a close. From the pre-
sent request of her Majesty, for immediate proceeding,
it should stem that she has abandoned her intention of
sending to Italy for witnesses, as it was expressly, for
that purpose that she in the first instance demanded delay.—
Her Majesty has doubtless been well advised in this respect,
though we should have thought that any witnesses whose
testimony might tend to serve her cause, it would be desirable
to procure at all events; and it has been acknowledged by
her own advocates that abundant supplies of 'inOney are af-
forded her fOr.th is and every other purpose. We shrill at pre-
sent offer no further observation on the case of this unfortu.•
nate Illustrious Lady, contenting ourseiveS with repeating the
expression of our deep regret at the distressing situation
to which she has thus suffered herself to be reduced,
by attending to the advice of worthless and mischievous
men. If, instead of running on headlong to her own ruin,
she had early attended to the advice of her able and legiti-
mate Counsel, her present lamentable state had been effec-
tually avoided. Whether the utmost exercise of the great
abilities of these learned and ingenious Gentlemen will ulti•
mately bt- able to repair the gross and'alarMlng error into
which she has been led, is a question which we do not wish
to answer, hut which a short time must now determine. We
shall only say, in genuine charity and good Wi11...." Goo send
her a safe deliverance."

In the House of Commons last night the Lord Mayor took
an opportunity of vindicating his conduct in requiring the
aid of the military on a late occasion, and manfully avowed
it. to be his determination to take effectual measures for pre-
serving the public peace while he remained- the Chief
Nlagistrate or the City of London, by calling for a force,
Whenever it might be endangered, that • should be fully
competent to repress any attempt at riot.— We con-
gratulate the loyal and' well-disposed inhabitants of

the Metropolis„ upon the acquisition of such a Chief Ma-
gistrate at a time of such imminent peril as the present, when
the exertions of all good men are necessary tcrthe preservation
of order and the frustration of the views and objects of thst
disatiectcd.—(Thid.) •

Some persons have already arrived from the Continent, to
give evidence in substantiation of the charges against the
unfortunate Queen. There are also some English •Ladies
and Gentlemen ready to give evidence upon the same dis-
tressing occasion.—(lbid.)
