COBURG THEATRI.--The o her night ws witnesr.. I the performance of Quentin Durward, ..t tL s howe.— a piece for which, we need not tell our reader', the My,tigers are indebted to the " Ureat Unknown." 11 ithou the assistance of this prolific wonder, we hardly know how our theatres would have provided a sufficient fund of rational entertainment for the public, fur so long a period as they have now been accustomed to draw fl ion this source. • The Opera, as it is called, is very well got up, and the characters in general, very well supported; wuh, however, a little too much rant, occasionally,and a too On :'ant endeavour to catch a sndden burst of applause, by *brut t transitions of voice and manner. This is particularly observable in Mr. Slim and Mr. HAINES, as De he March, and Along cabin The latter pe forur r, displayed himself to advantage in one or two instance where 14.. avoided this fault. Nothing is more destructive of Orr, I than a want of unity of step in a grand proct ssion to the sound of music; we observed it several times in the the grand exita in this piece, and recommend the !MlMlger to pay a little attention to this point. After having been wearied almost to death with" in London," in so many shapes, we really hoped on seeing the title of the piece, "The Death of Life. in London," that Tons and Jerry were at length consigned to the tomb of all the capulets; but, alas! we were grievons'y disappointed to had, after witnessing their funeral ohs seeptics, that those worthies had but played a bit of a hoax upon their friends. We confess we had had enough of them, and,-therefore, did not sit down with sentiments very favourable to the piece; yet we must do it the josthe to say, our impressions were by no means strengtheas rd in the present inst.' nee. The parodies of popular s and well-known dramatic scenes, introduced, are well Onsen, and told with considerable effect. There were several encores, emery which was Mr. Jones, " Said a steak to a chop, on a 'rook in my shop." The dance of " Charleys," as we are bound to call them, was excellent. A Trip to the Ball, or the Family Tutor, finished the evening's entertainments. It is amusing enough, end, certainly, not wanting in extravagance.

SUICIDE.—at Sunday morning a respectable female of the name of Marstfall, residing in Marshall's-row, at the nsrth part of the town, was found suspended by a sash line to a nail in the back kitchen.' She was married, and was discovered by her hut:bend on his return from chapel, she having availed herself of his absence to comciit the rash act. No specific cause j can be assigned for it, but she was subject to fits of despondency, and had sevt rat times before attempted to destroy herself. A Coroner's inquest was holden on the body on Monday morning, when a verdict of Lunacy was returned. The deceased was about 49 years of age, and has left two children, the youngest of whom was only fourteen mouths old, and who was found in a garret. where it is supposed the unhappy muther had left it.—(firiyfifon Gazette.) At Ashley Lodge, in the Parish of Porlock, an inquest was held on the hotly of John Jones, aged 4S. Deceased had fur many years been in the employment of Lord King. at his beautiful romantic villa at Ashley, and front his strict integrity and sobriety. and being a most confidential servant, he was universeily esteemed in that neighbourhood. Unfortunately it had been latterly discoverd that he was labouring under some dreadful Impressions of mind, and for a few days hid become so delirious is to resider it necessary to have persons to sit up with him, On sue night of Tuursday last, three persons'at tended him, but towards the morning he eppearing more trsts gull and apparently milers', his protectors also asleep, and about four in the morning deceased escaped from them iu his shirt only, and went to a hay-house about two hundred yards distant, where he put a period to his existence by Ilsiag the head of a halter over a side timber of the building, mad placing his head in a noose of the other end, then threw himself.'; in which situation he was found quite dead. Verdict—lnsattity, dinee the inquest it has been discovered that the unfortunate man was one of those unhappy mortals who believed in witch. craft, and under the stupid belief that he was hewl:ched, had actually sent a person to one of the Baker fatuity (1 notorious set of impostors who reside near Collumptou), to be infurn el of the means of freeing himself from the rnisehievuus agav v which afflicted him.

CORONER—Have you ever seen any despondency about her? Witness—For the last three months I hue observed a depression of spirits about her, and she frequently complained of %Joint pains in the head. CORONER, addressing the Jury—l think it is quite unnecessary for us to inquire into the state of her mind, as tliere is no evidence to shew that she committed suicide; there Is great doubt whether she did do so, and in cases of doubt, the rule of law is, Gentlemen, that you must be on the lettent side of the. , question : I think there is no use in pressing the case any  farther, for the canal was in the deceased's mad, where it was stated the was going, and she might have tumbled in by aceideut.  The Jury said, If it was even proved that she had committed suicide, the evi fence given by her husband would be sufficient to warrant their returning a verdict of insanity. They unanimously applauded the intrepidity with which the witness Williams had acted in taking the deceased out of the water; and wished to know of the Coroner if he was not, under such c.rcumstauces, entitled to a reward from the Royal Humane Soc'ety ? The CORONER said, he had met the Secretary some time ago, who told him, that he was ordered to inform not only him, but all other Coroner:, whet e it appeared there were meritorious efforts used, even although life was not saved, the Society would give a reward. A paper wa then signed by the Coroner, and the whole of the Jury stating, that Williams exerted himself in tile most inert. torious mann-r, by diving into the water, and bringing out the body of th,e deceased, and that it was their opinion, that the said WM. Williams was Willed to such remuneration 35 the Royal humane Society might think fit to seford; the beadle was ordered to accompany the wan to the Society's Office, and present the certifies e.  The Jury, under all the circumstances, returned a verdict That the deceased was found drowned. but bow, and by what means she came to be in the water was unknown to them."
