JAMES CASHIN. JAMES CASHIN has turned King's evidence, and his and the woman's joint testimony leads to the conclusion that Oar reins of Mr. LEONARD'S gig were seized by PHILIP MALONE, the man arrested at the funeral by Alderman Mews. Mr. LEONARD was attacked from behind by Jall CASHIN, now King's evidence, who was in possession of a pistol, handed to him by a min whom we shall pre-. sently have occasion to notice, but CASHIN hesitated to fire. Plume MALorts called out, " You cowardly rascal, why don't you fire ?" PHILIP MALONE then drew a pistol, and snapped it at Mr. LEONARD, but it burned f.riming. CASHIN then fired, but with no other effect Virzi that of injuring one of his own fingers. Another assailant—the man to whom we have just now alluded.— then rushed forward and hurled at Mr. LEONARD'S head a stone which inflicted a dreadful wound, that probably proved instantly fatal; for, to use the expression of CA suf.X, in his confession, the head immediately bung over the gig and never rose. This actor in the sanguinary scent' is not ye- in custody. PHILIP MALONE backed the pony, and the party placed stones before the wheels of the gig to prevent its moving from the hedge. The murderers then proceeded to make their infernal business doubly sure. Mr. LEONARD appealed in most piteous terms to have his life spared. The Magisterial inquiry into the circum-, stances of this frightful enormity was conducted by 11. ALCOCK, Esq., and J. Esmozins, Esq., brother of Sir T. ESMONDE, Bart., and of the Rev. B. ESMONDE, principal of the Jesuit Seminary at Clongowes-wood, near Kildare. Waterford Mirror.  Yesterday an inquest was held at the George and Crown public-house, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, before Mr. STIRLING, coroner, and a respectable Jury, touching the death of Josara MYERS, a young man of the Jewish persuasion, who terminate.l his existence by taking prussie add. The assistant of a surgeon found some remains of tle poison in a bottle under the decease,: Sod. The hurtle was produced. It was labelled " Prussic Acid." The name of the chymist who had vended the poison was omitted from the label. Witness was of opinion that the deceased died by taking prussic acid in a diluted state ; and that if he had been called in earlier he could not have saved his life. JOSEPH Nlyzas, of 61, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, pencil-manufacturer, the grandfather of the deceased, stated that he had been under his care almost ever since his infancy. He fell from a tree in St. James's Park about six years ago, when he so injured himself that he was rendered almost blind. Since that period he Lad been very untractable, and betrayed symptoms of aluberralion of mind. He enlisted twice for a soldier and deserted, and witness on both occasions redeemed him, About year ago the deceased was admitted into the police forte, which situation he held about 10 montns, when he was discharged for insolence to his sergeant. The deceased was i: to ere sum terms up he a very powerful man, And since his accident be had been very violent in his disposition and conduct.

The jury concurred in the propriety of the coroner's remarks, and recorded a verdict " That the deceased poisoned himself while in a state of temporary mental derangement,"
