DEPTFORD.

The late Death from Poisoning.

The adjourned inquest, touching the death of Mr. John Clements, captain of the Government hoy Mary, who was supposed to nave been poisoned by tincture of the seeds of colchicum, given him by the assistant surgeon of the Rosamond, was resumed on Tuesday last, at the "Black Horse Tavern," Lower-road, Deptford. It then appeared that Mr. Ray, the assistant surgeon, had not made up or administered the medicine, but the deceased had received it from a man employed to clean up the surgery, who had since left the vessel, and no one knew where to find him. Under the advice of the coroner an open verdict was returned.
