HAMMERSMITH SUSPENSION
This beautiful and elegant structure, which was to have
been opened to the public on the 29th inst. (this day), and
on which occasion his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex,
(who laid the foundation etone of the bridge), was to have
honoured the ceremony by his presence, has been postponed
for a fortnight in consequence of the road-way being scarcely
finished, and the absence of his Royal Highness from town.
At the expiration of that period, there is no doubt the
ceremony will take place.

This morning, about half-past seven o'clock,
as• a waterman was crossing the Thames from Billingsgate
to Bankside, when nearly half way, be perceived something
floating, and, on rowing up to it, discovered that it was
the body of a young man, apparently about 18 years of age.
He immediately procured the assistance of a fellow water-
man, and took the body and deposited it in the first public 4
house; there to await the Coroner's Inquisition. In the
pockets of the unfiirtunate youth were found several letters,
addressed -to penman, of, the first respectability ; amongst
which was one to Mr. Win. Bourne, Cheadle Hall, Lanca-
shire. He was most fashionably attired.
INQUEZT ON THE BODY OF THOMAS HAR-
Foan.—An inquest was held yesterday on the body of the
deceased, before Alderman ARCHISIL, at Stevens's Hospital.
After some consultation the Jary returned the following
verdict :—" We find that the said Thomas Harford died in
consequence of a wound in his breast, inflicted by a sharp
instrument, supposed to be a knife, by Joseph Barrett, at
the same time aided and assisted by Thomas Barrett." The

A Naval Court Martial assembled on Mon-
day, on board the Britannia, to inquire into the cause and.

the,poli
circumstances attending the loss of his Majesty's late packet •
brig Cynthia, on the island of Barbadoes, on the 6th of
June last, and to try Lieutenant John White (b), her coin-
mender, the officers, and crew, for the same. The Court
having heard the Lieutenant's narrative, and the evidence
of several of the officers and seamen, and very rqaturely
weighed and considered the same, were of opinion that the
loss of the Cynthia was to be attributed to the haziness of
the weather, which prevented the low land from being'
seen, and the unusaully strong currents which prevailed at
the time, and that no blame was to be imputed to the said
Lieutenant White, his officers, and crew ; the Court there-
fore
adjudged the said Lieutenant White, the officers, and
company of the said packet, to be acquitted. Captain P.
Campbell, C. 8., of his Majesty's ship Ocean, was Pre-
sident of the Coart.—Plymouth Paper.

canal will be Cleared in about ten days after the engine.
