CROLY. We admire the plan of these ILLtysTnaT lola of Antique Gems, and conceive that they could not be executed with more spirit, trste and learning than by this Gentleman, who justly ranks among the best of living Poets.  CORONEas,  A Coroners' Inquest was held last night before Mr. SHELTON, Coroner, at St. Thomas's Hospital; on the body of Elizabeth Lock, aged 37.—J. Arthur stated, that he was keeper of the lunatics in Lambeth 'Workhouse, where the deceased was a lunatic pauper, he fetched her from her residence, No. 1, South-street, Kennington. cross, on the 4th of July last. On the sth instant he was alarmed by the cries of murder, at three in the morning, which proceeded from a field, outside the walls of the workhouse. He went to a window and saw the deceased ; he instantly went to her and asked what was the matter ? She answered, that she had jumped from the wall, and broke her leg. On examination he found that she had got out of her apartment, where there were about 24 other lunatic females, and had ascended the wall by some means, which is above .nine feet high, and jumped off; he called the master of the workhouse, who ordered a cart, and she was taken instantly to the Hospital. Henry Sterry, dresser to Mr. Green, said he saw the deceased on the morning of the sth inst. about half-past six o'clock, when brought .to the Hospital; she had a compound fracture of the leg. The usual remedies were applied, but she lingered till Saturday last, when she expired. Verdict—That the deceased met her death by jumping from a wall in a state of derangement.  Last night an inquest was held by Mr. Higgs, Deputy Coroner for Westminster, at the Triturrphant Chariot, Grosvenor-place, on the body of Jane Tborville, a window, 45 years of age, who cut her throat on the 17th of September, at her lodgings, the Portman Arms, Portman-street, whence she was taken to the Hospital, and died on the 26th inst..

Holland, 60 years of age, formerly a respectable master plumber and painter, whose body was found in the basin in Hyde Park on Sunday morning; his great coat was tied in a double knot above his knees; he had frequently said he intended to drown himself, but Mr. HIGGS said there was no evidence to shew that the deceased threw himself into the water, and the Jury therefore returned a verdict--" Found drowned without any marks of violence about the body.  In one of the most beautiful churches of the East Riding, are three minstrels, projecting from, one of its pillars, dressed in the ancient costume of their time, blue surtouts anti red stockings ; the late Mayor (whose seat is near them) either 'not being so much ;skilled in minstrelsy. as Sir. Walter Scott, or thinking their dress too gaudy for the sacred edifice, or from some other cause, ordered a painter to daub them over, the colour of the pillar. The Churchwardens being informed of. 'the circumstance applied to the Vicar, but he had given no order on the subject ; one of the Churchwardens, therefore, declared lie would desnowstrate with his Worship, and it appears he did prove, to a demonstration, that the Mayor Was Wrong, for he ordered the painter to re-dress them in blue and red, as before, and they now stand glittering in the full splendour of their ancient finery—( Leeds Independent.)
