TON. " To Charles ILtikhead, M.D." &c. After the above document had been read the Jo: yr expressed their thanks to the Coroner, and stated, that the letter just read tended to shew the propriety of the decision they had come to by their verdict. The knife with which the fatal deed was perpetrated by his Lordship was larger in size than a common penknife. It had a white handle, and was a clasp knife, with the blade bent or hooked like a scimitar. It was viewed with great minuteness by the Coroner, the Jurors, and many persons who weie present during the above inquiry, which was atteEdedd• by many Noblemen and Gentlemen, political friends and supporters of the late Noble Marquis. It was stated that several of the Opposition were present. We are happy to hear so favourable a report la.t evening of her Ladyship's health. She was said to be much more composed, and, under all circuit:stances, ,vas as well as could be expected. Last night, after the Jury had retinue] their verdict, the body of the Marquis was laid out on a led, ready for placing in a coffin. The preparations for the funeral, which it is said will take place as privately as possible, are in great forwardness.  CHARGE or Rarra—Mrs. Gibson, an interesting looking young woman, keeping a toy-shop near the 3laid and Magpk, Stepto yfields, applied yesterday to Lambetb.street Office, for a w..r. rant to apprehend a Mi.
