INQUESTS.--SEDUCTION.—By Mr. Bedford, at the Star and Garter, St. Martin's-lane, on the body of Sarah Brown, aged 19, who committed suicide by jumping into the river from off Waterloo-bridge on Monday night. Three years ago the deceased had been seduced by a gentleman, under whose protection she had since been living. Through some misconduct on her part, the gentleman had lately discontinued her allowance of money, and she had given her child, aged fourteen months, into her mother's care ; from which time she had been occasionally desponding, and talked abont committing suicide by taking laudanum, or " making a hole in the water." On Monday night, between eight and nine o'clock, she met two female acquaintances in RegentStreet, who told her that they had seen her " friend " in company with another girl : upon bearing which she clasped  her hands together, and, hunting into tears, exc'aimed, " I shall nut go home to-night" tier compeuions endeavoured to soothe her, and she slid she would go home. On being asked when they should see her again, she, after some hesitation, said, "Never," and datted away from them. Knowing that she had to no over Wetesloo-bridge, and suepecting from her memeer that she meditated violence herse't; they resolved to witch tier, and reached the bridge first. Haring hidden thems- lees beneath the seat in the fiat opening on the Somerset House side, they taw her rim Feet, and before they could gain upon her she stepped ou to the second settle, and mounting the parapet (as the wit:ICS/Ica described it) with the swittetee of a bird, plunged into the water. An alarm was immediately raised, and several boats repairing to the spot, after about a quarter of an hour, the body was found; but life was quite extinct. The jury having commented on the melancholy facts of the case, returned • verdict of "Temporary Insanity."— A DEOWNrD Biwa.—By M. Baker, at the Sportsman, Margareteereet, Haggersione, the inquiry into the death of Sarah Whiteorn was concluded. George Phesent deposed to seeing deceased and her husband turn from the Cat-andMutton a'aout one o'clock on Sunday morning, into a path leading to the edge of the Regents Canal. They were quarreling eiolently. Witness and police endeavoured be arouse the instates of the Sir Walter Scott for more than half an hour. Believes deceased was alive twenty minutes after she was taken out of the water. She graved the humid of s young man who carried her on her way to the Hackney station. (Sensation.) Is sere she could have been saved had asaistareie been given.—Mr. Colson disputed this statement, and alleged that the person alluded to was unworthy of credit. —Other evidence having been heart, the coroner adverted at some length to the melancholy neture of the case; and after some de'iberatioo, the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity," adding that " great reckleasne-s had been exhibited by deceased's husband, in neglecting te prevent deceased throwing herself into the Regent's Ceeal, and in endearouring to leave the spot titer the seme' without offering assistance in rescuing her ,• and the jury regret that the law cannot punish him for his inhuman conduct."—SlNOrLell DEtTII.-13eil,ro W. Carter, EN , at the William the Fourth T..vern, Ewell, near Epeem, miJamesWaghont Req., aged a wealthy farmer. The deceased was iu the daily habit of driving round the neighbourhood in his pony chaise, an.'. about one o'clock on Tuesday was entering Eeell, who a person named Palmer touched his hat to him. The deceased nodded, and bent slightly forw tett as if to nave a basket at his feet, which seemed to he rolling out of the chaise. In doing this ho palled the horse on one side, and the carriage got into one of the rucks of the road, which caused him as was thought to fall out by the road side. Palmer instantly ran to his assistance, and found that he was perfectly insensible. He carried him to the William the Fourth Tavern, and Mr. Jullien, the surgeon, very promptly was with him, but he died in about ten minutes. —The Coroner asked if Mr. Jullien could state the cause of rich sudden death.—Mr. Jullicu's impression was that in the nodding to the mesa Palmer, and then the sudden attemet to 4.,;7.: the basket, caused such a Now of blood to the head that it brouglit on apoplexy, and deceased fell into the road.—The jury returned a verdict of " Apoelexy, accelerated by the fall."—The deceased was much respected, but very eccentric in his manner. Those who have I been to Epsom races will remember " Old Waghorn.".—
