SUICIDE.  Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Carte; the Coroner- for Surrey, at the Angel Tavern, Rotherhithe, respecting the death of Mrs. Mary Osborn, aged 29, who committed suicide from Waterloobridge, on Wednesday last. The finding of the body on Monday last by a man of the name of Henley, off Shadwell, caused much notice. She was dressed in a black silk dress and white satin bonnet. Round her neck was a guard chain, and attached to it a handsome gold watch. Suspended from her neck was a gold eye glass, and on her fingers were four gold rings. She had also a fine enamelled gold brooch.  Mr. Hunter, of 5, Bath-street, City-road, stated the deceased was his sister, and he was able to identify her by her clothes ; the body being dreadfully decomposed. He saw her alive about a month ago, and she seemed then in a sound state of mind, and in perfect health. Her husband had married her for her property, and having ill used her left her, and went forueh aatfrlaeiads,t hsaedv elnedyetaursg. reaTthsius hcseoniduuecutt, ihrereNguv a -s abroad, and he believed she had not seen or heard of htoimo m larity in her conduct. Mr. J. Jarratt, of Bond-street, said he had known the deceased for about five years. He had not seen her for about five weeks before last Wednesday morning, when, about one o'clock, he was taking coffee at a coffeehouse in the Waterloo-road. She came in and upbraided him for being there ; she was in a very excited state, and although she did not appear to Lave been drinking he accounted for it by her being a woman of very irritable temper. She complained that be should be so near and not call upou her. She sat down, but the landlady said she would have no words in her house, and sent for a policeman. The witness induced her to go with him, and they walked towards the bridge, and having got.

Huniftehris  A FOOLISH AND ROGUISH SON, AND lIIS PAL: On Tuesday. two young fellows arrived at one of the inns a Matichessterocoach , dressed in topcoats, in Buxton, by n for tlaie thrievaatrtee artootthhe and round gold laced ea to a bed-room being shown, by request, , they cphd.anged their .clothes, took tea, bar,nthe then shae3rnot obtained dt taehidne)et.do mighttwothe down in the bill.

The fact is, the young: styr had robbed his father of 82/, and the other was laudably engaged in helping him to spend. it—having, it is said, first persuaded him to commit the theft, They had taken placers in the Amber-gate coach, en route for London the next morning ; taid after taking tea, the younger one went to a jeweller's shop and bought a gold waich for 171., tendefing a 50/. note in payment. The in, ney and watch were afterards re-exchanged between the jeweller and the father. It was unfortunate they were not allowed to return from i the theatre to the nn, where they might both have been safely taken—us no doubt the most culpable rascal escaped. The father left Buxton the next morning, and afterwards sent for young Hopeful to go in custody of the constable on Thursday morning to Manchester.— Shefiidd
