SUICIDE IN TIIE PENITENTIARY.--An inquest was held in the Milbank prison on Saturday, on the body of Lewis Cocks, a convict, who hanged himself in his cell. The prisoner had been low-spirited, and had asked to have Charley," another convict, to be allowed to work with him; he had also recet,ve, letter from his wife, which deeply affected him. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." A messenger arrived at Cambridge-house in the early part of last week from the Continent, with the gratifying intelligence to the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, that their eldest daughter (Princess Augusta), the Hereditary Grand Duch,,ss of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, was safely delivered of a s(et and heir on the 22d inst., at Strelitz. The gratifying intelligence was immediately forwarded to the different members of the Royal The first infant of the Hereditary Grand Duchess was born at Cambridge• house, and lived but a short time. The young Prince is second cousin of the Prince of Wales and the younger branches of the Royal family.— Observer.  " Whereas the tridernamed persons stand charged with having been concerned in treasonable practices, and have absconded,— " Michael Crean, late of the city of Dublin; Thomas Matthew Halpin, of the same; Francis Morgan. of the same, attorney-at-law; Patrick James Smyth, of the same; John 11. Drumnie, of the same; James Cantwell, of the same; Thomas d'Arcy M‘Gee, of the same; Joseph Brennan, of the same; Thomas Devin Reilly, of the same; John Cantwell, of the same; Stephen J. Meany, of the same; Henry Shaw, of the same, printer; and James F. Lalor, late of Tinnikill, Queen's county. " Inspectors of police, constables, and sub-constables are authorised to apprehend, and cause to be committed into safe custody, the before-named offenders, to be further dealt with according to law. "And inasmuch as they respectively stand charged with having committed felony, all persons are warned against incurring the penalties to which in such cases they will become liable under the provisions of an Act passed in the eleventh year of the reign of her present Majesty, cap. 2, intituled ' An Act for the better prevention of Crime and Outrage in certain parts of Ireland,' by harbouring or sheltering them, or any of them." Thomas Matthew Halpin was secretary to the late " Irish Confederation;" Francis Morgan is one of the attorneys to the Dublin (repeal) corporation; M'Gee, a leading writer in the Sullen, and one of the crack orators; Joseph Brennan, Devin Reilly, and Meany, writers in the Felon; Shaw, printer thereof, and Lalor, the modern Murat, who quaintly observed the other day in a published letter of his, that before dealing with the present proprietors of the land in Ireland, the 40,000 armed men employed by the Queen to guard it should be ,killed.  _______ The Government cannot set a very high value on the lot, as they do not offer a pound reward for their apprehension. Now, this is not treating M'Gee, for instance, fairly; for, as a writer, speaker, and organiser, he is, to use a familiar description, the " daddy' of the whole lot of patriots recently outlawed. Subjoined are particulars of the latest arrests. It will be observed that at six o'clock last evening the town of Nenagh did not exhibit the least excitement or sympathy for Mr. Lalor, who was expected there in custody every hour. (From the Nenagh Guardian of last night.) "
