SHOCKING SUICIDE.  ?MlTian PARTlCULAllll.)—Vesterriay morning Saffrimha presented a most unusual and singular appearance, in consequence of an Italian female, named Anna Maria Soma'Wiwi putting an end to her existence, by cutting her throat in a deplorable manner, from ear to ear, with a razor. The unfortunate woman beforenauted resided it: Saffron-hill with het husband and family, and was thirty-fiveyears of age. The distress the whole of the family were in previous to the fatal oeetirtence was considered as bar reason . for destroying hemelt: and So much commiseration did evty person feel for the poor woman's case, that crowds of persons continued to surround the beam: (baring the day. At four o'clock yesterday afternoon the Jury met at the Hoe In Armour publicuse, *4llton-hill, before Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, when the following evidence was adduced on this ells. teetaing ciecasien Anthony Sornaliico, who spoke brolten.Stiglisit, said he resided at 164, (heat Stitil-on-lah and was a Pandesn•piPe rocker He breakfasted with his deceased wife ytsterday griArnine, eight o'clock, and then went out, leaving her in ears of four children— one at the breast. lie returned about ten, when lit saw a ems d round the door, and inquired in the shop the occasion. They would not, however, Intbritt hut, end he then went into the yard, when he understood his w,fe was dead. The wi,ness at this time was asked if he could inform the Jury whether his wife laboured under any depression of mind. In answer us which he said his wife's sister keep* a shop in Saffron-hill, to whom the deceased used to act as servant, On Monday last the sister informed the deceased she had no fur.. titer occasion for her services. The witness at that tirite'viat very ill, and the sister advised the deceased to seal her goods and go into the workhouse. This he considered fretted her very much, and had preyed upon her mind, as since that time she had been very inditrerent in her manner. During the laq week he had applied to the parish, and received from them four shillings. John O'Hara accompanied two other persona into the y,sra when the alarm was given yesterday Morning. He found the deceased in the privy, with her throat cut in a shocking man,ner ; a rasa was lying on her right aide. A doctor was sera for, but she survived only one half an hour. For the hit few days he considered the deceased appeared more dull than usual, and apparently seemed to labour under derangement. Several of the Jury here observed they had knowt*.the husband many years, and when he was in better eireutnstanceL The Coroner considered the deceased laboured under insanity at the time she committed the dreadful .act; indeed.he eutsytdered the distress .ahe had undergone was sufficient' to ccea. mon it. After taking a view of the body, the Jury returned their vetdiet—" That the deceased, Anna Maria Sornabrico, cut 'cot throat, beinrt at the time in a state of temporary mental derangeolent."

A Hessian General, and some servants of the Princess, committed or seconded this reprehensible, and, in every respect, arbitrary act. The Prussian Government, whose territory had been violated (the town of Bonn forming part of the Grand Duchy of the Rhine, subject to Prussia) complained at Cassel. After long and warm explanations, the Hessian General suffered sort of disgrace; but the fate of the Princess, who had been carried off' under escort to Hunan, appears not to have been ameliorated, since, tc escape from it, she could find no other resource than suicide.  The mortality among the French Officers in Spain begins to excite suspicion. General Count D'ALEmnettr died the first week of the present month, and General flounae was also reported to be dead. The Countess of CARTIIAGLNA, at Comma, received a letter from Madrid, stating that BouIIKE was so ill that he was not expected to survive, and two days after the news of his death was current. They were both taken sud. denly ill, and under present circumstances, every thin; suspicious is naturally laid hold of.

INDIA.  (From the Calcutta Monthly Journal.] Dgc. 9, 1022.—We have seen several letters from Persia, received within the last few days. One of them, dated Tabreez, 28th August, states that the cholera was prevailing throughout the country, though its ravages had ceased at Tsbreez, where 60 in a day had been the maximum of deaths. Observes the writer of the letter—" The Prince of Persia gained a great victory of the Turks at Topra Nulls, neat En. van ; it was rather a flight..intleed, than a battle; but the disease making its appearance very violently in his camp he took fright, retrograded, and has returned to the vicinity of Ta. breez. His army is dispersed ; indeed, it is now almost ajoke to talk of a regular army here. The Turkish army was totally dispersed, and did not stand a moment.. The old Caimultan, Prime Minister to the Prince here, died by the Epidemic ; a great loss to this country, for he was an honest, and, for a Persian, a wonderfully patriotic man. His son succeeds him. ' " Persia is just now in a fair way of becoming terribly disorganized and falling into confusion. The crisis, I suspect, will be the King's death,..-an event that cannot be far off. Kho. rasan, since I left it, I hear is In open revolt, and the disaffection to the reigning family is increasing every day, as is their extortion. It will not be a country for any Englishmen to go through soon, and I would decidedly advise any one who constilts his ease, to keep out of it, and prefer the way by Egypt, or a good Indianian." The Russians. (states our other Correspondent) are going to fix a Council Qeneral at Auzace, in Milan. The Persians don't like it, but dare not object to any thing the Northern Autocrat dictates.  Dr.c. 12, 1822.—Accounts brought by the brig Louisa, re. cently arrived from Acheen, state that an attempt lurd been made to poison the King and Queen of Acheen, by a Navedab, who have been seized and put into prison.

ILLUSTRIOUS. ABSENTEE..—We have heard that, on the arrival in town of the first Personage in the State, his illustrious Brother, who has been so long labouring under severe indisposition, hastened to pay his dutiful inquiries after his health. An illustrious Absentee, it is said, quickly followed, and, if we may credit the on Qs, he was not graciously rereceived ; indeed, we have a shrewd suspicion that, besides getting a severe lecture for want of dutiful inquiry, or attention, ,during the severe iiiness that has afflicted this Great Personage, he was reminded that, with it splendid income voted him by the nation, the country would be quite us well pleased if he should for the future ,condescend to spend it in England.— ( Morning. Herald.) AFFLICTING SUICIDE,—A short time since, Mr. Ssurn, an eminent grocer' in the 1110-street; Borough. sent a young man, named Lee, a near relation, to the. bankinghouse of Sir JOHN Prwirouw, to depogit there the sum of fifty pounds, but the youth absconded with the money ; and although every effort was made by his friends anti relations, who employed the police, and disseminated. hand-bills, offering a large reward for his recovery, no tidings could be had of him till last week, when Sir John nog received a letter, with the banker's booir, which he had in his possesion, stating that the young gentleman who had that book, and who went by the name of Smith, had shot himself that morning at the Woolpack-inn, Ingatestone. Sitio the deceased arrived at the inn,' he conducted himself in very penurious manner, except once he went to a a certain sporting place, when he hired a chaise : he was particularly sober, and of a most mutable disposition. It is said that on the ;day he committed the 'rash act, he begged of his hostess to permit a fortune-teller who was passing by to go with him into his room ; to this she ob. jected, but afterwards consented to his seeing her in the back parlour. • She was overheard telling hint he lutist cum the water or die. Whin she departed, he shook hands with the hostess, gave her a small present, requesting her to keep in re. membrance of him, and _gave, other small presents to other members of the family. He then retired to his apartment, and in a moment afterwards the report of a pistol was heard, andhe was found lying on the floor in a gore of blood, quite dead. A New York Paper of the 29th ult. states that ,YAna.Ow, a Moor, died at Georgetown, Columbin tiu Sunday last, aged 130. years!  iiitips--, r • , ~,t. .4.* . f OL4 At,c..,,,e, 2 , r„ ...-, .:. ~. ~,.1..,_,1 ~ •. . y,g* k- -r, '' "' '' '''4krt.N-,44-iilk.i-,,1.

SUICIDE OF CAPT. 141‘LEOD, OF THE GREAT LIVERPOOL STEAMER. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEVEN 0%..L0t,.. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Queet Captain Russell, arrived this morning at four o'clock, fr°'" the Peninsula, bringing the usual mails. Her dates of departure are as follows :—Gibraltar, 10th March Cadiz, 11th ; Lisbon, 13th ; Oporto, -14th ; Vigo, 15th ; Corunn* 16th. The Quecn brings a full cargo of dates, orangth specie, eggs, &c. The schooner Brand, for Liverpool, with corn, struck  Oporto Bar corning out ; she apparently sustained no damage' and proceeded on her voyage. The Queen experienced very strong S.W. gales outward!: and a succession of northerly gales homewards, or she wou ‘‘' have performed the voyage two days sooner. The Queen brings home about 90 persons, passengers, 9: eluding the crew and passengers of the Great Liveren. They are in a very distressed condition for want of clobtal° and many other necessaries. It is with extreme regret that I announce the death Of Captain M‘Lerel, the late commander of the Great Liver; pool, who died by his own hand immediately after the las_ of the passengers had departed for Corunna. He had been in a most desponding state of mind ever since the unfortnt nate occurrence, and it is supposed could not bear up agar et misfortune. The melancholy event has left a gloomnv the whole town. He was a man universally beloved an respected. He has left a large young family, with propeeo of an early increase. There is nothing further saved from the wreck of the Great Liverpool. The ship is entirely gone top and what /", luables floated ashore were principally purloined by the rae cally natives. 11 1 The Queen brings home her mails. I have person*" inspected them ; but as they are in boxes it is impossibl!! a casual observer to state what damage they have receirt4. I regret to add, that Lieutenant Williamson, the Jt.,urit ralty agent of the Great Liverpool, lies dangerous tw,y; Corunna; se much so, that his life is despaired of. 11' " 1 totally unable to come to England in the Queen. Too much praise cannot be given to Captain Russell his kind, humane, and p,,lite attention in every respect ~, to, unfortunate passengers. Most of their friends were tra4lll.; at the various hotels in the town to receive them and it 0; be readily imagined the greetings were of a most cordial racter. eS• Liaison,

COURIER OF THE DUKE OF CAM BRIDOE.—On Tuesday, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the .marquis of Granby Tavern, Great .Marylebone•street, on view of the body of Thomas Webb, aged 50 years, who committed suicide. The deceased lived at No. 3, Little Marylebone-street, and was formerly a courier ht the family of the Duke of Cambridge, from whom he received a pension for his services. Subsequently he became butler to Colonel Thoyts, but had left about a twelvemonth since. Mr. Reading, the parish beadle, deposed that, from information he received on Sunday evening, between MX and seven o'clock, he proceeded to deceased's room (an attic), and found him suspended to the bed-post by a cord tied tightly round his neek. Witness, with the assistance of the landlord, immediately cut him down, but the body was quite cold, and life must have been extinct for seveial hours. John Cuerton (deceased's landlord) deposed to having last seen hint alive on the previous day ; lie was a married man, and his whe lived at service ; he had lodged in witness's house ever since he left Colonel Thoyts. Deceased was never heard to utter any expressions that might lead one to conjecture that be mit-employed suicide, and be enjoyed tolerable health up to the period of his destruction. The Coroner buttoned np at considerable length, remarking on the ft equrney of suicides amongst butlers ; and as the testimony was: not alte;,.wther satisfactory as to state ordeceased's to return an open verdict.

DETERMINED SUICIDE DT A CHANCERY SUITOR. —Last evening, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Robin Hood, Holborn, upon the body of Mr. James Ede, aged sixty-three, late an extensive tanner at Byrinck, Sussex, and for the last thirty years a suitor in the Court of Chancery for property said to be to the amount of 100,000/. The jury viewed the body, which presented a most appalling spectacle, the throat being cut twelve inches across the spinal bone. Mary Wheatley, chambermaid to the Robin Hood, stated that about nine o'clock on Tuesday morning deceased rang for his clean linen. She answered his bell, and told him that it was not ready. A sheriff's officer was then with him. She had scarcely got down stairs when she was recalled by the: officer, who said, "Go in, I think the man has cut his throat." She went in, and saw deceased with both hands working at his throat. A large quantity of blood spirted from the wound against the wall. Mr. William Arthur Ede, eldest son of deceased, said that his father had been a Chancery suitor for a large amount of property, which grestly affected his mind and depressed his spirits. He was exceedingly reserved, and never let his friends know the exact state of his circumstances. Mr. Willis, sheriff's officer, arrested deceased about ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, under an execution obtained by Mr. Thorpe, proprietor of the Robin Hood, for 180/. When he told deceased under what circumstances he arrested him, deceased replied, "Impossible ; I gave him a judgment, but never thought he would take such steps. It was foolish for him to do so, as be was certain of his money, for an estate would be soon sold which would re alise 20,000/., that would be divided amongst five creditors." He then desired witness to call Mr. Thorpe, and witness was so doing, when, hearing a noise, he turned round, and, seeing that deceased had cut his throat, called for assistance. Mr. Thorpe, landlord of the Robin Hood, stated that he issued the execution at the desire of deceased, in the hope that it would induce the solicitors in the case to pay his demand. Verdict, " Insanity."
