SKI NNER., residing at Thomas-street, Lambeth, by trade a carpenter.  Last night, at nine o'clock, an inquisition was taken at the King's Head Tavern, Peter-street, Westminster, before THOMAS HIGGS, Esq., on the body of Mr. JOHN FINNEY, aged 38, an eminent urmleller, of Addinstreet, Marylebone, who put a period to his existence by throwing himself out of a window last Sunday morning, in a fit of delirium, whereby he received the injuries which terminated in death o❑ Thursday. The Jury returned a verdict " that the deceased committed suicide, being in a state of temporary derangement." It was statd on the inquest that the deceased had been employed on the modelling work of the new Palace at Pimlico, and was considered a very ingenious man in his profession•  The stealing of horses has of late become very prevalent in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. Within the last week, information has been received at the public-office, Hatton-garden, of no less than seven horses being stolen, viz., two from near Tenterden, in Kent ; two very valuable mares from Coningham-hall, Essex ; two from a field near Finchley church ; and one from a field near Cambridge. It is supposed that there is a regularly organized gang of horse-stealers infesting the neighbouring counties of the metropolis, and that their plan is to transfer the stolen homses from one distant part of England to another, using the precaution of travelling with them as fat as possible during the night, and resting at some obscure place during the day-time. In most cases the horses stolen are so altered by docking, trimming, &c. that they rarely answer the description given of them by their owners.
