SKYE.—This very desirable and beautiful Highland Property is-of 'great extent, and has always been noted for the richness of its pasture, and for the superior stock of cattle and sheep sawed upon it. About 600 acres of the Estate are arable in good condition, and capable of raising any crops known in that Country. The Mansion House is fit to accommodate a respectable Family. It isdelightully situated within a few hundred yards of the seacoast (with an intervening lawn), fronting a picturesque bay, whichafforda capital anehorage; and in which are studded seVeral much-admired islands, contributing 'remarkable beauty to the scenery. There are thriving plantations about the Mansion-house, Which is one of the most dsirable residences in tl!e Highlands. A large garden and office-horses in complete order adjoin the Mansion-hOuse. Tilis Estate is full of game, including grouse, black cock, snipe, partridge, Sic,, ; and the shores abound in every variety of seafowl. The bay affords, in abnndance, white fish of almost every description, besides shell-fish on the shores, and salmon trout, Ace. The roads are excellent, and the post-office at a convenient distance. Besides which, the communication-ty vegan- steampackets with the South will greatly add to the' advantage of thesituation.

On Saturday evening an inquisition was held at a public-house, called the Jolly Miller, at Millbank, before TIIOIIA9 Moos, Esq. . the Deputy Coroner for Westminster, and a respectable jury, upon view of Elizabeth Banks, who committed suicide by taking a large quantity of oxalic acid. This was a case calculated to excite feelings of deep commiseration. The unfortunate deceased I was only 19 years old, and was possessed of uncommon personal i beauty, and her manners were so mild and retiring, as to gain !her the esteem of every one who knew her. Her situation in I life was humble, .the loss of her mother having compelled her. to .. go to service, but she had received a tolerable education, which she took 'every opportunity of improving. Mrs. Elizabeth Moore deposed, that the deceased came to live with her in the situation of houiemaid about a fortnight since. The deceased appeared much depressed iu spirits. On Friday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, the deceased retired4o rest, and witness observed that she appeared more cheerful than ordinary. 10n Saturday morning, at a quarter before seven o'clock, witness' rang the deceased's bed-room bell for her to rise, and shortly after she heard her go down stairs. But a short time had elapsed,. however, before witness was alarmed at a noise as of some person in great agony, and she got up immediately, and went 'I down stairs, but the girl was not there. Witness then went up stairs to the bed-room of the deceased, and, on opening the door, was dreadfully shocked at seeing the unhappy- creature stretched on the bed outside the clothes, her eyes fixed, froth issuing from her mouth, and the covering of the bed tightly grasped in each hand.  Mrs. Alain, of Goodman's-fields, had known the deceased from her infancy. On Tuesday evening witness sat up late with the deceased (the family being out at a party), and during the night she several times acted very strangely. Witness inquired the cause of her singular conduct, and she said, " Did you never hear that I was going to be married ?" Witness answered in the' negative; and the deceased said, " Yes, indeed I was, and the furniture fcr the house was actually purchased ; hut my lover suddenly ivglected his attentions to me, and ultimately broke off the acquaintance in a very extraordinary manner." The deceased cried, and said the circumstance had had a great effect upon her; it was a shock which she thought she should never get over. Elizabeth Shadwell, a char-woman, on Saturday morning was sent for by Mrs. Moore, and found the deceased dead. She searched the person of the deceased, and found a scrap of paper, singed, on which was written as follows :  " Dear Father—Alt I hope is, that you wilt bear this with fortitn lc. death warrant is signed ; my health is bad, and I rind tcannot keep my place, So this is the-best. Yours—adieu " E. B."  'The Jiiry returned " That the deceased poisoned herself with oxalic acid, being at the time in a state of temporary derangement." •  .• It (lid not appear in the course of the inquiry, who the "Inver' mentioned by the unfortunate girl was.
