AFFLICTING SUICIDE OF A YOUNG  WOMAN.  Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken at Mr. Gurney's, the Masons' Arms, Upper Berkeleystreet, Edgeware-road, before Tilos. STIRLING, Esq., on the view of the body of Ann Moore, a beautiful young woman, about. twenty-two years of age, who terminated her existence in the following melancholy manner :  Isabella Gordon.—! have knawn the deceased for some months; she had very respectable relations. The deceased left an excellent situation, where she was a nursery-maid; but owing to her despondency, which was excessive, at the request of her parents witness allowed her to sleep in her master's house, the family being out of town. On Tuesday last she came down in good spirits, and said she would take a walk into Portman-square. On Wednesday she complained of a giddiness in her head, and that her inside was constantly in a work; 1):2r father called on Thursday, and informed the deceased that her aunt, who resided at Stanmore, had written to him, and requested that she would come down and stop with her for a few days. The deceased appeared to be much delighted by the invitation; she retired to rest considerably more ,composed than she had been for some time. On Thursday morning she awoke witness, and told her she had a very restless night, in consequence of an extraordinary delusion which she laboured under. The deceased then proceeded to state to witness, that while awake she feared that she had fell out of the window, and after being supported in the air for some dine, had returned to her bed without having experienced any injury. About eleven o'clock that morning she left town by the stage for Stanmore, to stop for some time, but, to the witness's great surprise, returned at eight o'clock the same evening. On witness asking the occasion of her abrupt return, she replied that she could not stop there, as her friends laughed at her for her lowness of spirits. She became much depressed, and went to bed about ten o'clock. All Friday she complained of a violent pain and giddiness in her head. On Saturday afternoon she went to lay down, and about half-past five o'clock witness went up stairs, and was shocked at finding the deceased hanging to the rails of the bedstead.  The Jury returned their verdict—" That the deceased committed the act being at the time in a state of mental derangement."  Yesterday his Excellency Baron BuLow, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Prussia at the Court of London, jointly with Mr. M. N. ROTHSCHILD, and accompanied by Mr. JOHN VENN, notary public, cancelled and deposited in the Bank of England the amount of 49,6001. in special bonds of the Prussian loan negotiated by Mr. N. M. ROTHSCHILD in London, being the second half of the sum fixed for the redemption of bonds in the tenth year, and also the saving of the interest on the 955,000/. redeemed to the lst of April last.  A gentleman once called upon MATunts, who found him in his study, perusing the letters of his literary correspondents. " The perusal of letters from our absent and deceased friends," said MATURIN, " often creates reflections that are painful to memory and friendship. I seldom in my life felt more gloomily than Ido at this moment." " Engaged as you appear to be," replied his friend, " 'tis natural that a number of recollections should revive in your mind, but I trust they are associated with no hitter or painful reflections?" " I have more to complain of than the degeneracy of friendship. Do I not," continued the dramatist, " look more gloomy than usual ?" " I must confess you do," replied his visiter, " but I hope you have no serious reason for appearing so ?" " I have many reasons to appear gloomy, nay, more, to be discontented, when I reflect, that, as curate of St. Peter's, I have only 1301. a year, while the bishop's cook is allowed 1501."  . It is amusing to observe what strange Mlle', deuces arise occasionally, out of this state of war and no war, when politics and commercial affairs come in contact pith each other. We learn, for example, by accounts received to-day from Petersburgh and other parts of the Baltic, that almost at the very time when the Russian Ambassador was pressing on Lord ABERDEEN the expediency of submitting to a blockade of the Dardanelles, to prevent the entrance of warlike stores and ammunition into Constantinople, his own Government was actively engaged in chartering English vessels to carry freight of that nature into the immediate vicinity, for the use of the Russian fleet. The demand for shipping to the Mediterranean was so great at Petersburgh, much employment for it having previously arisen for the conveyance of grain to England and France, that the price of freight had risen considerably. The Sultan, who has frequently before identified the acts of British merchants with those of their Government, will probably complain of this as a breach of faith towards "an ancient ally," but without justice ; for trade, according to the modern practice is of no side in politics, and if he can afford to pay for them, they will no doubt supply him also with warlike stores in spite of the Russian blockade. But a contract with the Russian Government, of a still more remarkable kind, has come to light in the course of the day, in which, if report is to be trusted, the chief agent and contractor is no less a person than the Duke of
