SVICIDE.—This forenoon, a painful degree of ex-
eitement prevailed among the occupant, of the Saracen's
Head Hotel, Skinner-street, Snow-hill, in consequence of

the suicide of Mr. James Bristow, a gentleman very highly
connected, and surposed to be lately residing at Henley, in
the county of Middlesex. The deceased gentleman had
taken apartments for a few days at the hotel, and appeared
11 in very excellent health and spirits. Deceased went out
yesterday morning, returning in the evening, and after
taking some refreshment got in conversation with several
gentlemen who had been to the Great Exhibition, in Ilyde-
park, and when ho had taken supper he retired to rest
about one o'clock this morning. Nothing more was heard
of him until one of the ostlers had his attention drawn
to a pool of blood on the floor of a coach-house
underneath deceased's bedroom. One of the fe-
male servants went up and found the door closed ;
she raised an alarm, and when she entered the apartment
the deceased was lying on the floor with his head nearly
shattered to pieces. The deceased had been dead some
time, and by his side was discovered a six-barrel pistol,
which, from the position of the deceased had been dis-
charged The police were called, and when
two letters were found, one
mouth. The
of Half Moon-street, Piccadilly,
iahitdisds:eckhdeittsnhtolew"):dirmereeeased mentions something relative to the
late Derby races and other matters. The letters had been
stamped with a shilling, and were taken charge of by the
police constables. Mr. Payne, the coroner, has received
information of the distressing case, but the inquest is not
yet fixed, as the relatives have not been made acquainted
with the death.—[The foregoing is given on the authority
of a casual reporter ; but it may be observed that the fact
of no report of fire-arms being stated to have been heard,
gives some reason to doubt its being correct in every parti-
cular, though there seems none as to ita being substantially
true.]
