CORONER'S I.‘ QUEST'.

DEATH OF THE LADY OF PETER BRODIE, ESQ..
Tuesday (veiling, a Coroner's Inquest was held in the
Canteen of the Royal Horse Guards Baracks, Regent's
Park, before Thomas Stirling, Esq. on Mrs. Brodie
whose melancholy_ death. we stated in the STAR Oi
Tuesday.
Francis Stacey, a man who keeps a stall near the
toll-bar in the road leiding to the barracks, stated, be
saw the gig, in which were a Lady and a Gentleman;
the horse was going at'a rapid pace, and when, as far
as the witness could judge, the gig was within about a
hundred yards of Mr. Perkins'..factory, formerly the
Opthalmlc Hospital, Regent's Park, there was a
bud continued report, and the horse took fright, and
started off at full speed. The Lady appeared much
alarmed, and cried out for assistance; the Gentleman
being unable_to stop the.gig, the Lady jumped out, but
the horse continued its .course towards thp witness, end
several persons assisted in raising the Lady from the. •
ground; she was quite senseless; they carried her into
the hospital of the•barrackr,.where the witness left her..
Cosenza—Do you know the exact cause of the horse taking fright?
Witness—l think the explosion of the stain-gnu in the factory.
Assistant-Surgeon Best, of the Royal Horse Guards,
examined the deceased when 'brought into the hospital.
She was insensible, and, indeed, never recovered' her
senses. He took every means that medical skill cout4
suggest for her recovery, but of no avail, as she died
soon after she was brought in. Her death was- very
likely caused by the bursting of a blood vessel, or a
violent concussion.

Another Surgeon was of the same opinion.
The CORONik said, there was no doubt but the de-
ceased had• met her death by jumping from the chaise..
The cause of the horse running away was evidently
the explosion of a stkalll-gun, or engine of some such
description. '
The Jury /bond a verdict of Accidental Death--adding, they
bad selected a deputation to wait upon Mr. Perkins, to recommend
the discontinuing of such espionionsin future.

After the main question of the third reading of the
Catholic Bill was tarried, and the Bill read a 'third
time, three amendments were proposed ; one, to insert
the words " not to sit in either House of PArliament,"
which was negatived without a division ; the second was
.similarly disposed of ; but the .third, which was merey
a verbal correction, was adopted. •
Two of the race horses and a valuable brood Mare
which were purchased in this country by order of the
French Government, have died at the stables •of the
Duke of A NOWLIN a, of the disease so prevale.t among
the horses' in France, and which, id most instances,
baffles the skill of the veterinary surgeons. Is is nader-
stood to be an inflammation df the brain.
Mr. CoLuttowoon, a bookseller, in the Strand, aber
having partaken of a hearty breakfast, on Sunday
morning last, rose from his chair, and was proceeding
towards the window, when he was seised with apoplexy,
and almost instantly fell on'the BOOT and expired.
A curious occurrence is mentioned in a nench Paper
of Sunday, as having lately happened at ati entertain-
ment given by M. nit V,ILLILB: His Eicellency's hotel
