CORONS INQUEST. SUICIDE BY A PROFESSOR OF Mustc.—Yesterday morning, at ten, an inquest was held at the Boardroom of Middlesex Hospital, before Thomas Wakley, Esq., M:P., the Coroner, on view of the body of Mr. John Taylor, aged 62 years, a professor of music, who committed suicide under the following circumstances :—The deceased, a widower, resided at No. GO, William-street, Albany-street, Regent'sPark, and was in very comfortable circumstances. Latterly he has become very strange and eccentric in his manner, and laboured under the delusion that a crowd of persons were continually followinc, him about and slandering him. At times he stated that the persecution he endured was such that he wished he—was dead; and at others he would say that he knew it was a delusion, but he could not divest himself of it. On Saturday last, having remained in his bed-room until a much later hour than usual, one of the inmates proceeded to call him, when he was heard groaning. On entering his room he was found in an insensible state, and about the apartment were three bottles, which had contained laudanum. He was immediately brought to this hospital, but although the stomach-pump was used and electro-galvanism applied, he expired shortly afterwards. On his- dressing-tuble was found a note, in his own hand-writing, addressed "To the Coroner." The contents were as follow:—" My persecutors and slanderers have at length induced me tocoMmit this most horrible crime. I could bear it no longer. I call God to witness that this is the truth. I have no care for man, but with the Deity these words will not avail."—Verdict, " Temporary mental derangement." A lengthened inquiry was yesterday gone into before Mr. Carter, Coroner for Surrey, at the Angel public-house, Rotherhithe, concerning the death of Mr. Joseph Paul, aged 39, late master of the brig Eden, of Newcastle, who was unfortunately drowned a week ago by his boat being capsized in a collision with the Waterman steam-boat No. 2, while off Colestairs, Shadwell:  Much excitement was produced by the accident, and the inquest-room was crowded with persons interested in the proceedings, amongst whom were the Harbour Masters of the Port of London, and others connected with the navigation of the river. Mr. Pelham attended to watch the proceedings on the part of deceased's friends, and Mr. Newbone, solicitor to the Watermen's Company, for the captain of the steam-boat.

TUE SENTIMENT OF BUSINESS.—At Union-hall On Thursday, a Mrs. Stanley was brought before Mr. Trail, charged with attempting to commit suicide. It seems that on Thursday she hired a wherry on the Surrey side of the Thames, and while the waterman was rowing her across the river, she suddenly threw her legs over the gunwale, exclaiming, " I'll jump overboard," whereupon the man replied, " Pray don't do such a thing as that, ma am, or you'll get me into trouble ; besides losing my time at the inquest !" The prompt attention to the interests of Num.. ber One evinced in this reply, is admirably characteristic of the man of buSiness. True, the waterman intreats the lady not to drown herself ' • but why ? Because he himself may be put to personal inconvenience, and probably be out of pocket by her suicide ! These are the considerations that weigh most with the aquatic philanthropist. Here the shoe pinches. Self takes the alarm— the interests of the pocket are in peril. Hence the waterman's supplications ! If the lady would but throw her-se2f out of any other boat ; or if she would only assure him that he should not be summoned to attend the inquest, and thereby run the chance_ of losing a fare, then be would be the last person on earth to thwart her wishes ; but a plunge headforemost into the water from his own wherry, without any.such assurance, is not to be thought of. 'Under such circumstances suicide becomes quite unjustifiable, and accordingly the tender-hearted creature enters his most strenuous protest against it. A parallel case to the above may be found in the following advertisement, which was inserted in the daily papers some two years since :—" If the young gentleman who left his home last Friday, will not return to his distracted parents, he is at least requested to send back the key of the tea, ' caddy !"

SUICIDE OF A. PR ENCH ',Ain 0-.... Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, an inquisition was taken before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Rock Tavern, Lisson-grove, on the body of Marie Victoire Andre Isnaird, aged sixtyfour, a French lady of independent fortune. M. Augustus Chastelain stated that he resided with his mother, at No. 32, Grove-place, St. John's-wood. The deceased, who was a friend of his mother, resided with them. She had been very low and desponding of late. On the morning of Monday, the 20th ult., the deceased not making her appearance as ;usual, Madame Chastelain sent the servant up to de• ceased's bed-room on the second floor to wake her, but she returned, saying she could not make deceased hear, and that her room door was fastened on the inside. Witness was out at the time, and, becoming alarmed, they sent for Mr. King, a neighbour, whe was passing, and who burst 'aBlotl open the door. Mr. James King dgeapoessteiodn,toanbdeinog, beVilar: in by the servant on the morning in htoalidpebryiedAtloadahmere friend, et weOtthat auk; tofeared her er sobemde_ttrsh.:lo!, broke open the door. On entering he found the deceastO lying and on the bed on her back, with her hands up to her t ctenched tight. On removing them he found •s, 'miss stuck through the centre of the winclpire, and buried nearly up to the hilt in deceased's neck. The blood was, pouring from the wound, and the whole place was saturated. She had also tied a ribbon round her neck with a view In strangle herself, but had apparently failed. He ran for a doctor, as lie found deceased was still alive, and Mr. Rtggard, of Chureh-street, promptly attended, and with much difficulty extracted the knife. (It was here produced, and the greatest surprise was manifested as te how the deceased could have inflicted such a stab, it being an ordinary round pointed dessert knife. It was covered with blood up to the handle.) It further appeared that, after dressing thu wound, the deceased revived and became conscious, and Mr. Burford, another surgeon, was called in, and attended her, She got better for some days, but gradually sank, and died on Wednesday last of the injury. The deceased admitted that she committed the act herself, but said she could not assign any cause for so doing. After some remarks from the Coroner on the extraordinary determination manifested by the deceased in the commission of the act, the Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased committed suicide by stabbing herself in the throat whilst in a state of insanity."
