An inquiry terminated in London on Monday, as to the death of Miss Caroline Eliza Perry, aged 19, daughter of Mr. Perry, of Christow, near Exeter, which had taken place at the residence of her aunt, Edgwarerim', under such peculiar circumstances that the co. oner had felt it is duty to direct an analysis of the contents of the stomach by the medical officer of health (Dr. Winter Blyth). Mrs. Julia Perry, mother of the deceased, dated that deceased, after leaving school, had been a governess some r, or 16 months. She went to London on a visit to her aunt, Mrs. Caroline Hudson, on the 22nd of September.

Mrs. Caroline Hudson said deceased had a cough, but was otherwise in good health up to. Sunday last. On that day they went together to thee Zoological Gardens. On .Monday morning she went out, and on returning about 11 o'clock, she found deceased lying on the couch seemingly very ill.

After Dr. Raynor had seen deceased, a chemist carne, and then Dr. Raynor asked witness to leave the room while her servant remained. She believed that death took place about an hour after, but she did not know exactly, she was in such a fright. She could in ni. way account for the death of deceased, who was of a most cheerful disposition. She was not upset by anything. She did not know if deceased had any male acquaintance, but it was her custom to take a walk every morning by herself in the park. Emily Loader, servant to Mrs. Hudson, said on Monday morning deceased, who seemed perfectly well, got up about seven, and had her breakfast at eight o'clock. Mrs. Hudson went out about a quarter to nine, and the deceased came and asked her whatehe was t ) do about her clothes, as Captain Day, who had engaged rooms was coming in that morning. She told her what to cloy and presently deceased asked for a cup of tea, whica she made her. About half-past nine, wanting some., soap, she called to deceased to give her the key of the. store cupboard, but receiving no answer, she wrist into the sitting-room, aod found her lying on the couch on her back, stretched out as if in an hysterical S. She was quite sensible, and witness begged her to Cr , is it would relieve her, and she rep.ied she co' not. She roused deceased with some water, and she then said, "Oh, don't leave me? don't leave me ! " and asked for another cup of tea, which she gave her, she observed that her I,ce be_ came alternately white and red, while at time, it twitched and she appeared cony& sed. The deceased said she had done somethini wrong, repeating it twice; but on being asked ' what she had done, she said she would not tell. Mrs. Hudson. returned home about half.past ten wP h Miss Bartlett She told her about deceased and ad vised a doctor to be sent for; and Mr. Miles, w- I. to came in at the moment, went for one, and retu r.r ,ed with Dr. Raynor. When he came deceased express,' a wish to be alone with thedoctor. The coroner, as Dr..

He hoses not been out with deceased at any time, and never paid attentions to her, as he did not like her. He had never heard her threaten to take her life in any way. He bcdieved she was jealous because her aunt used to walk out with him in the evening without taking her. Sometimes her aunt used to tell her that all her money and property was left to her, and at other times to him; but he looked npom it as idle talk. There was nothing wrong on Mrs. Nucleon's part as far as he knew. The medical evidence showed that the deceased died from the effects of strychnine and brucine poisoning; and the jury found that death was caused by strychnine poisoning ; self administered while in a state of mental excitement.

They declare that they speak with • hope and a confidence greater than they ever poepesserl before. In the name, of Ireland they call on the Irish penple for a civilian° a of those Nocieiies and personal and political hostill.,iea that make them appear a disunited people.
