MURDER.—An Inquest was held yesterday, at the Pinder of Wakefield, in Gray'slnn-lane, before Mr. SHELTON, Coroner for the County ,of Middlesex, on the body of a child that ,was found murdered within twenty yards of the above  named house.—lt appeared lioin the testimony of a man named Chaiway, that on Thursday morning, as he was going to work, be observed a large parcel lying in a,sort of ditch by the road side; oil examining it be discovered it to contain a male child : there were marks of great violence on the head of the infant, and a quantity of blood had been trickling down its face.—This witness was corroborated by Smith, the parish constable, and by another witness, named Ryder, who both were of opinion the child's death was caused by violence.—Mr. STIRLING recapitulated the evidence' with his usual clearness, and the Jury, after considerable deliberation, returned a verdict of %%Mini Murder against some person or persons unknown." ,  It will be, seen by oar House of Commons Report,_ of last Hight, that the magnificent ceremony of the Coronation has been postponed for a short time. It was found impossible to complete the whole of the preparations for at least a fortnight after the time originally appointed; and as delay thus became unavoidable, it has, we believe, been deemed prudent, in consequence of the Queen's request for an immediate investigation of the charges against her, to postpone the Coronation until the proceedings against her Majesty shall have been finally terminated. How lung that will he, we shall probably be enabled to form some accurate notion from the determination of the House of Lords on Monday next. With respect to the time at which the second reading of the Bill of Pains and Penalties shall take place, should her Ma-. jesty not again-alter her mind, and (really abandoning her first claim for delay, irforder to procure witnnses from Italy), adhere to her last request for an immediate investigation of the charges against her, it is probable that their Lordships will appoint an early day for the second reading, and instead of adjourning, as was originally intended for her Majesty's accommodation, will continue to sit until the painful proceedings shall have been brought to a close. From the present request of her Majesty, for immediate proceeding, it should stem that she has abandoned her intention of sending to Italy for witnesses, as it was expressly, for that purpose that she in the first instance demanded delay.— Her Majesty has doubtless been well advised in this respect, though we should have thought that any witnesses whose testimony might tend to serve her cause, it would be desirable to procure at all events; and it has been acknowledged by her own advocates that abundant supplies of 'inOney are afforded her fOr.th is and every other purpose. We shrill at present offer no further observation on the case of this unfortu.• nate Illustrious Lady, contenting ourseiveS with repeating the expression of our deep regret at the distressing situation to which she has thus suffered herself to be reduced, by attending to the advice of worthless and mischievous men. If, instead of running on headlong to her own ruin, she had early attended to the advice of her able and legitimate Counsel, her present lamentable state had been effectually avoided. Whether the utmost exercise of the great abilities of these learned and ingenious Gentlemen will ulti• mately bt- able to repair the gross and'alarMlng error into which she has been led, is a question which we do not wish to answer, hut which a short time must now determine. We shall only say, in genuine charity and good Wi11...." Goo send her a safe deliverance."  In the House of Commons last night the Lord Mayor took an opportunity of vindicating his conduct in requiring the aid of the military on a late occasion, and manfully avowed it. to be his determination to take effectual measures for preserving the public peace while he remained- the Chief Nlagistrate or the City of London, by calling for a force, Whenever it might be endangered, that • should be fully competent to repress any attempt at riot.— We congratulate the loyal and' well-disposed inhabitants of  the Metropolis„ upon the acquisition of such a Chief Magistrate at a time of such imminent peril as the present, when the exertions of all good men are necessary tcrthe preservation of order and the frustration of the views and objects of thst disatiectcd.—(Thid.) •  Some persons have already arrived from the Continent, to give evidence in substantiation of the charges against the unfortunate Queen. There are also some English •Ladies and Gentlemen ready to give evidence upon the same distressing occasion.—(lbid.)
