Grove asking his opinion on the church-rate question, and
expressing a hope that he was not diaposed to vote for the
total abolition of that ancient heritage of the church. the
following reply has just been elicited:—" I am glad you
have made the inquiries your letter contains relative to
my opinion oaths clinrch.rate question, as my answer may
remove much misconception on the matter. lam not pre-
pared to vote for the unconditional abolition of that rate.
On the other bawl, there in so much mischief accruing to
the church from the constant agitation on the .object, and
the law is in my opinion in such an unsatisfactory state, that
I should be willing to approve of any arrangement which
(whilst securing to the church some fixed resources) would
relieve those who differ from its tenets from the position in
which they now stand."

nEz.zune ENT AND SVDlDE—Yesterday, Mr.
Carter received information of the suicide of a young
man, named Pope, under the following painful cirenni-
stauces :—Having been instructed • few days since
by his father, • stonemason and beer-shopkeeper,
in Park-road, Clapham, to pay some money to a
tradesman in the vicinity, the young man did not
pay the money, but told his father he had done so, and upon
being rebuked for such conduct, after admitting he had spent
the money, he left his father's house and went to his home,
and on going uistdre deliberately loaded a gun that hung
over the mantelpiece, and which was always kept unloaded,
awl, putting the mink to his month, blew the upper ion
of hi. head and fare completely away. The deceased, a line
young man of about 24 years of age, has left a wife, who is
rams(', and one child to lament the sad ostaatrophe.
Actilieler ON THE SOUTH COAST RAILWAT.—An
accident, happily unattended with onions consequences, oc-
curred yesterday morning to the early up-tram leaving
Portsmouth at six a.m. A little beyond Foa4 and between
that station and Littlehampton, the railway is carried over
Arundel Creek by a single.line drawbridge, a necessity im-
posed upon the company when the railway was nude by
the then Board of Admiralty. The double rails at either
end of the bridge converge into a single line, soil pointamen
are stationed on both sides of the river to direct the trains
up and down, and telegraph to the adjoining stations
of Ford and Littlehampton when the bridge is opened
to allow craft to proceed up to Arundel. A cattle true,
which leaves Ihighten fur Chichester market every Wed-
nesday morning, awaits on the Littlehampton side the pas-
sage of the early nwtrain across the bridge, awl the points
are altered son to allow the London train to diverge on to
the up line, and proceed on its tourney. Yesterday morn-
ing the point man in charge, as it appears, in a fit of momen-
tary oblivion, seized time lever as the passenger train crossed
the bridge, and turned it directly into the cattle train,
which, as usual, was waiting to allow the np-train to pass.
The collision was • violent one, and very much alarmed •
single passenger who was in the train, but beyond an inter-
ruption of the traffic for two or three hours., no serious con-
sequences occurred. The pointsman has been given into
custody, and will have to unswer for his misconduct. In
the last session of parliament, the South Coast Company,
after very considerable opposition and difficulty, obtained
power to throw a permanent iron structure with • double
lined rails uric this creek, so that in a few months all
danger of u aindlar mischance will Le at an end.
