COUNTY OF MID LOTHIAN EIMMION.—The elec-
tion of a member of parliament for the county of Mid-
Lothian (Edinburgh), took place on Saturday, in front of
the County-buildings, Edinburgh. The only candidate
was the Earl of Dalkeith, son of the Duke of Buccleuch,
who bad been invited to stand by a very numerously
signed requisition. The noble earl was proposed by Sir
'George Clerk, of Pennycuick, Bart. (who represented Dover
in last parliament); seconded by Mr. Dickson, farmer;
and declared duly elected. H a lordship returned thanks,
and the proceedings terminated.
INDIAN POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS.—Nothing has
ever shown the defective postal overland arrangements
between Calcutta and Bombay mora than the last
Indian mail. Although two Bombay mails were received
by that arrival, of the dates of the 10th and 23rd of
IMay respectively, no news was received at Bombay
from Calcutta between these two dates. Considering that
extra steamers often start from Bombay either fur Ceylon or
Suez later news from Calcutta than that sent direct from
the latter place by steam-packet would often reach England
if the overland mail from Calcutta to Bombay were expe-
dited. This mail is at present nothing but a foot post,
which travels about 20 miles a day. For years put the In-
dian government have been urged without avail to substi-
tute a horse post. It often haptselis that the Oriental Com-
pany's steamers run between Bombay and Calcutta, tra-
versing the Arabian Sea and the Bay of, Bengal, in less
time than it takes to send the mail between those places
overland. A glance at the map will show how ludicrously
and shamefully slow the latter communication must be.
While the East India Company are boasting of what they
have done for India they are evidently too modest to speak
of the postal communication between Calcutta and Bombay.
SUICIDE BY A GENTLEMAN OP FORTUNE. Lout
Saturday Mr. Wakley held an inquest on John Shedden,
Esq., at the deceased's private residence, Tavistnek.plue,
Tavistock-square. The deceased, who was a bachelor, aged
64, always enjoyed the best health and spirits, and
betrayed a suicidal tendency or symptom of insanity beyond
a Flight eccentricity of manner. "Wednesday evening he
dined with his brother, George Shedden, Esq., at 6, Bed-
ford-square, when, with the exception of a slight bilious
attack, he appeared in his usual health and spirits. Thurs-
day evening be dined alone in Tavistock-place, retiring to
bed at his usual hour without evincing the slightest change
of
breakfast hour the following morning, the servant proceeded
to his bedroom to call him, when receiving no answer to her
repeated knockings, she became alarmed, and calling
assistance, had the door forced open, when she found
her muter suspended by a silk neckerchief from the
cross pole of his bedstead. He was instantly cut
down and medical assistance procured, but life had been
some time extinct, as it would appear that the unfortunate
gentlemen hung himself *non after retiring to rest. lie wan
undressed, and had been evidently in bed, as appeared
front its disturbed state. On the dressing-table was a letter
written by deceased to a friend, in which he spoke of his
resolve to commit suicide to end a life of misery, and as he
was unable to face his friends again. lie concluded the
letter by stating that he was contheiled tecommit the snici.
dal act. The coroner observed that the letter was evi-
dently
the production of an insane brain. George Shedden,
Esq., could not account for his brother's suicide, as his
affairs were in a most prosperous state, and he had nothing,
as far as witness was aware, to disturb his mental quietude,
Several other witnesses having been examined without at
all clearing up the mysterious circumstances that induced
deceased to destroy himself, the jury returned a verdict of
" Insanity."
