CoRoNER's INoUEsT.-A coroners inquest was
held at the Steamboat Restaurant, corner of Ne
braska and Wide Water street, yesterday morn
ing, over the body of one John Thompson, a
Sweed, and one-third owner of the schooner Ma
tive, of Baltimore. As mentioned yesterday in
this paper, the deceased went into the bar-room
of the said restaurant and shot at, but missed,
Henry Townsend, the bar tenders he then shot
Geo. W. Mail, one of the proprietors, the ball, IN
its passage, striking the index finger of the right
hand and entering the right hip; he then raised
the pistol to his left breast and fired, the ball
passing through the heart and entire body, lodg-
ing in the cuticle under the left shoulder blade
Several witnesses were examined whose testi-
mony Tailed exactly, and all confirmed the first
statement that he had shot at Townsend, wounded
Mail, and then committed suicide. The most i'm
portant witness, however, was Mr.. Richard Kirk,
of the night police; he arrived at the door of
the bar-room after the first two shots had been
fired, and saw the deceased place the pistol to his
breast, heard the report, and saw him fall on the
floor with the pistol in his hand. He Kirk
then placed a guard at the doors and would ad-
nit no one until he sent for, and the Lieu
tenant OF Jne w aJcn arrived. ne mousse was
then closed, and the body left lying the floor
until the inquest was held.
Mr. Townsend, one of the witnesses, stated that
the deceased was drinking, but not drunk, and
that the deceased asked him to tell him who it
was that had beat him (deceased) the night be-
fore, and his reply was that he could not, because
he did not know; deceased then pulled out the
pistol and fired one shot at him, which missed,
and second at Mr.. Mail, who was lying the
sofa He (Townsend) and Mr.. Mail then ran out
of the side door and the watch up; while at
the door he heard the third shot.
The pistol found on the body of the deceased
was the army size Colt, and was recognised by
the partner of the deceased as that he (de-
ceased) had owned for some time Three of the
chambers of the cylinder were empty, and the
pistol was found cooked, as if the deceased in
tended fourth shot, but arrested in the act
by DEATH
Mr.. Mail is badly wounded, both on the finger,
which is shattered, and in the hip, where the ball
now remains.
The jury patiently Investigated the case, heard
number of witnesses, and finally rendered a
verdict that the deceased, John Thompson, came
to his death by pistol shot from his own hands.

AT WoRK.-The Street Inspector, in our siste
city, busily engaged renovating Court and High
streets in that city. We hope his exertions will
be extended, and that all the grass oyergrown
streets of Portsmouth will be cleaned and put in
good repair. The Swimming Point bridge is in
horrible condition, and either the citizens or
naval authorities should repair it. The Naval
men, are as much interested as the citizens living
on the North side of the creek, over which the
bridge goes, as it is the main thoroughfare to the
u s. Naval Hospital.

ELEcroRIAI.-The Secretary of the Common
wealth informs the Clerks, Sheriffs and Commits
oners of Elections of the several counties of the
State, that there is no law in force in Virginia
providing for voting by ballot; that the poll
books are made out in the manner prescribed by
the Code of Virginia of 1860, and that there is no
law in force authorizing" him to furnish poll
books at the expense of the State.
The above, from the Richmond Times, of Octo-
Der the 18th, is in extreme juxtaposition to the
published law of the General Assembly of Vir-
ginia of 1865, in which the minutes are entered
into, even so far as specifying the kind of locks
to be used on the ballo, boxes The penalty i'm
posed on those in whose hands the ballots are
entrusted is also stated, and as the day of cleo
ton for Delegates and others, is near at hand, we
advise those interested to look into the matter.
