THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION BUILDING.—
The Council of the Royal Institute of British Architects
have made • report to a special meeting of that body on
the International Exhibition Building at South Kensington.

fraught with unprecedented probabilities of discredit and

THE LATE SUICIDE IN ♦ RAILWAY TRAIN.—La
the Express of yesterday, there appeared a brief amount'
of the suicide of a gentleman in a railway train near
Newark. We now publish further particulars. From
papers found in the possession of the unfortunate gen-
tleman. it ewers that he was • Frenchman, and his name
was Viscount des Maims. At the inquest held before Mr.
Griffin, the coroner, Mr. F. Douglas, surgeon in her
Majesty's Indian Service, stated that he joined the Edin-
burgh express train at Berwick, h►ving • through
ticket to London. He got into • compartment with
the deceased and Dr. Lowe. He had very alight con-
versation wi►h the deceased, merely an interchange of
common civilities. Both gentlemen were strangers to him.
He asked them if they objected to hie smoking. and they
replied in the negative. They all three then lighted their
cheroots, and ►fterwards dozed. When the train got to
York he asked the deceased, in French, if he would get
out for refreahment. He said, " No, Ido not wish to
get out." Witness and Dr. Lowe went into the coffee-
room and had a cup of tea, and then returned to the
carriage. After the train bad proceeded half • mile,
deceased lighed his cheroot again. Dr. Lowe remarked
that he could not sleep, and the deceased raid the seat
was so very bard he could not sleep. The last time witness
took particular notice of the deceased was about
5 o'clock, when be offered him a light. Shortly before
the train 'cached Newark witness and Dr. Lows were
dozing, being very tired. Suddenly be beard a report or
crack. which mused him to start. His first impression was
that some part of the machinery was broken. Before he
had time to think the deceased fell on the bottom of the
carriage with his head on witn.s's knee, blood gushing
over the seat on which he was sitting. Wane.. exclaimed,
"Good God, the Frenchman has shot himself." Dr. Lowe
immediately waved his bat to attract the attention of the
guard. Death was instantaneous, he never groaned or
moved, and a small pistol was banging on his finger. He
seemed to be perfectly collected all the way from Berwick,
and was smoking quietly. On arriving at the Newark
station they called to the guard and the body was removed.
After other evidence huh been offered, the jury returned
a verdict to the effect "that the deceased took away his
own life, but there was no evidence to show the state of his
mind." _ _

COTTON.—Mr. Warmington, the agent of the
Charing-crew Cotton Company. has purchased Bellevue
Plantation la the Santa. Cruz mountains, formerly the
property of the Venerable Archdeacon Rowe. Mr. War
miogton will take charge immediately and commence
operations. Bellevue is suited for cotton, for the shrub
thrives best in a 'aline atmosphere, and those southern
slopes are well adapted for its growth. We wub the com-
plus, sucoces.—.7amaica Morning Journal.
FREZDOM up SPZECH AT WARSAW. —The police
of the central committee was so much more efficient than
that of the Russian government, that sooner or later the
doom of a spy was urban. So far, then, as the liberty of
discussing openly the situation was concerned, there was no
difficulty. Everyone was glad to give a stranger the benefit
of his patriotic opinions. The Warsaw society met at each
other's houses ; triumphed over the news of victories gained
by insurgents; mourned over defeats; anathematised Rus-
sia in general, end Berg and Wielopoiski in particular ; nen-
sawed the probabilities of aid from without, and the expe-
diency of the policy to be adopted by the central committee.
It was strange to be in a room with thirty or forty per-
sons, all of whom were uttering sentiments which would
have infallibly consigned them to Siberia if they bad been
beard by a Remise ; and yet so thoroughly confident of
each other, that co man hesitated to say exactly what he
thought.—Bleckwoods ilayartu for July.
