the welfare of the service and the amelioration of your posi-

country. May God crown your ulterior preceediogs with
succeee!"
SUICIDE AT BIBMIN011•31.—On Tuesday night
last Mr. George Whitehead, of Semite, Suffolk, slept at the
Hen and Chickens h del at Birmingham, and retired to his
bedchamber about midday on Wednesday. Not being seen
swath up to Thursday monolog, hir.Sm lie, the proprietor of
the hotel, became somewhat apprehensive, and knocked
loudly at the door of his apartment. Receiving no response,
the room was foreibly entered, and a ghastly sight pre-
stated itself. In a pool of blood upon the fio .r Mr.
Whitehead lay, face downwards, covered with clotted
blood, and in his right hand a pistol firmly grasped, with
his forefinger resting upon the trigger. It was evident the
deceased had committed solf-destruction by discharging the
contenta of the pistol into hie mouth. He was quite dead.
On searching the pockets of the deceased a pocket book and
miens other articles were found. In the book the follow-
ing entry was made:—" Mr. Smith, landlord,—Have the
goodness to forward this melancholy intelligence to Mr. W.
Wright, bookbinder, of Steele', Suffolk. He will break it
to my dear wife. I scarcely know what I write." On the
following leaf was also written My dear wife,—Res
you receive this melancholy intelligence I shall be no more.
What must have been your anxious hours eines I left my
house I I know that you have nothing to support yourself ;
only you have been too kind. God Almighty protect and
support you, and forgive my worst enemies. Your affec-
tionate though wretched husband, George White-
head." A somewhat singular foci in connection
with the lamentable affair fe, that the report of
the pistol was not heard by any person in the hotel.
From evidence given at the inquest, it appears that the
deceased, who was in the building trade, had been for the
lest six months esteem', nervous, and sometimes appa-
rently as not knowing what he was about. Three or four
of his relatives had been conked for insanity. He loft
Stocks without the knowledge of his wife. Deceased was
in partnership with his brother, but a dieeolutioa was to
take place on the 6th of January next. The circumstance,
ens witness thought, might have some influence upon his
mind. It appeared that on the morning of the dal the
deceased committed middle, be purchased a brace of pistols.
The jury returned a verdict of "Insanity."
MELANCHOLY CASE.—An inquest wan held at the
Gaildball, Doncaster, on Friday evening, before Mr. .7.
Litter, coroner, on the body of Elisabeth, wife of William
Dotty, a small shopkeeper residing in Doncaster. The poor
woman, who was 26 years of ego, had been miming from her
home sines the 17th inst., and her body was found in the
river Don on Friday morning. It appears that she was sn-
aked about four months ago, and afterwards tell into a very
low state of miad, continually dwelling on religious sub-
joins. and expressing fears that she shetild not be saved. Her
medical attendant, Mr. H. Sykes, reoommended a change of
air, and accordingly she was sent to Biagbam, in Notting-
hamsbire, where her parents reside. She remained there
some time, bet grew worse, and was eolneticoes so violent
that three periods were required to hold her in bed. Under
these circumstances her t,usbsnd, actirg under medical
MM.., applied to the governor of tee Bingham work-
house, and also to the board of guardians there, to put
hoe late an asylum. This they refused to do, on the ground
that the woman did not belong to that pariah. A similar
application was then made to the board of guardians at
Doncaster, but they also declined to accede to it, because
the woman was non-resident there. The husband, not
having the means of placing his wife in a private asylum,
bed her brought back to his own houso,whence she wandered
