Taken up almost, at Bristol, on the 30th day of April last, the body of EDWARD KELLY, who was drowned from on board the privateer Yankee in February last. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, and the verdict was accidental drowning, without violence. He was taken to the Market-House, in a coffin, and after an appropriate prayer by the Rev. Mr. Wight, was decently interred. If he has any friends, they can be particularly informed of the circumstances respecting his death, by applying to
ALLEN WARDWELL, Coroner.
