Yesterday an inquest was held aj ibielgo of the.Plav
terer's Anne, Seymour-street; Boston-square, before T.
STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, on the body of William Lll:orra
aged b years, son of Mr. Litton, boot and shoemaker, et
Wellesley-street, Somers Town. The detesuat and ano-
ther little boy, with whom Le was in the habit of* ploy-
ing, received permission to go to the fields to play. Thee
mixed with some other bays, one of whoa the deceased
struck while playing t on which he became irritated,
and took up a stone, which be Bang at the deceased, and
it bit'him on the spine of the neck. The deceased suf.
fired much pain in consequence of the blow ; and, as is
must when the spine is injured, a flow of water on the
brain ensued. The deceased lingered in such excessive
pin, that be died in convulsions, which mated his eyes
,le start from his head. It appears jhat the boy shy
threw the stone was not above 5 years of age. and there-
fore the Jury concluded that there could have been no
cringesl intention on his part. They returned a verdict
Accidental death from the blow of a stone."
Ao inquest was held. on Wednesday afternoon, at the
house of Mr. Beverly, No. 39, Great Portland.street, on
the body of Mrs. Caroline Beverly, aged 70, who pat a
period to her existent* by hanging herself, arthe above

of Portland-street, proved heieg called on to attend the
deceased, whom be found in an apartment, after Laving
been cut dote, from the be4-post, from which she Lad
suspendedlierself.—Two otlier medical gentlemen at-
tended, but the deceased was quite dead.—Miss tieveily,
twin to the deceased, stated that the deceased was very
melancholy, and conducted herself iu the straigest man-
oer ; she would frequently complain of her head, and
would say she had no clothes fit to be t-itmt in ; that she
was ashamed to go out; whereas she had every article
requisite for her, and nothing to trouble .her mind ex-
cept imaginary objects. The deceased left witness on
Taesday mornieg, and went to her apartmeote, where
she suspended herself, in which situation witness di.-
covered her, and cut her down.—Verdict, " The de-
ceased hung herself. being at the time is a state of tem.
porary derangement."
A Coroner's Inquest was held last before Thos. Shel-
ton, Esq. Coroner, at the Mitre Tavern, Mitre court,
Fleet-street, on the body of Thema'''. Septimus Jon«.e,
Esq. solicitor of the Temple, aged 39 years. Mr. Wit-
Rao Brow Wescot, Temple-court, auoroey, deposed.
that be called at the deceased's chambers on Thursdly
Morning between 10 and 11 o'clock, auk found the door
of his chamber shot, as he imagined, but was afterwards
convinced it was only owing to the tightness • the
*win. He opened the door, and found die deceased
lying on the sofa. with his right band in his breeches
pocket, and his left coder Lis brad, on his left side.—
lYttness looked stedfastly. and thought life 'had did by
the discoloration of the face. He instantly ran for a'
sorgeoe, who, he believed, came. The first shock so
butt the witness, as to preclude him from returning.—
William Warmer, porter at the Temple Chambers, de-
posed, that. the deceased came home about 12 on Wed
needsy night inebriated, but not so much so as witness
bas seen him : be was what is commonly termed " ISt f-•
ray drunk." Witness saw nothing snore of him till the
next morning, when he was called by the last witness,
and found the deceased in the situation before described;
Ilse touched him, and found be felt cold and uncomfor-
able.—Mr. David Price, surgeon. 172, Fleet-street, de.
posed that he was called upon to see the deceased on
Tharsdsy morninp about 11 o'clock ; he found hint in
the position described by the first witness, which was as
say man might lay, when he intended to sleep ; lie ap-
torVeri have bees dead many hours; there was much
tion of the face; the veins were turgid, which
plght have been occasioned by the tightness of his
neckcloth. Witness's opinion is that the deceased died
in a fit of apoplexy.—After a short impressive addries
from the Coroner, the Jury returned a verdict, that the
'..eeaseda--" Died in a fie of Apephay."

CITY, tS Ara ley
Racot.—The rage for speculation is by no means so vio-
lent as it was ;sad, notwfsbstanding the timely Interposition
*twee buyers who do not belong to the trade. there has
been a fell of nearly It per cent. since last week. It is not
likely. from present appearances, that the ekeesenionsers
will have eccesioe to apply to the speculators for any pert
of their stocks ; which, therefore, wilt probably be held over
for the moths of September and October ; unless the hold
ers become alarmed in the mean time and' et out In the best
manner they son. And we say this with a full knowledge of
the deficieeey in the impocts up to this time as comparee
with those of lest year • for we know that the prices Josh*
consumers cannot be raised so as to glee a prdet *yea upon
the present prices. A committee of very respectable and
iotelligeht men have been for some time engaged th devis-
ing-the means of protecting the interests of tue trade against
the encroachents of the merchants and factors. If they
can discover auy metes whereby a living profit can be en-
sured to the retailers, notwithstanding the auetaatioas
oe
easioned by speculation, Boil notwithstanding the injery
those retailers sustain by being under-sad by the whole—
sale dealers who have retail counters ; if they can do this,
we venture to say that all other difficulties will speedily ad,
lest themselves. On board, 30s. to 375. ; Leaded, 30s.
