An inquisition was taken on Tuesday evening, at the sign

by .hooting himself through the bead with a pistol, at his
ludgings in Thownhaugh.street.
Mrs. Swum Lovegrove being sworn and examined, said,

ORANGE AFFAIRS.

We really begin to apprehend that the affairs of
t!4. Orangemen will not, after a short time, even
afford tos an opportunity of cracking a joke at their
espense. The truth is, they are getting as flat and
a,Jle as they have long been unprofitable. But it
is our temper to make the best of a bad thing. The

Yea, verily. at two o'clock, of a dark November

In removing the library and clearing away the
low and hook•ca•es that have so lung encumbered
the Lady Chapel of Exete► Cathedral, a discovery
has been made of two ancient tombs. The sculpr
tare of both is rally. They are phicl.ti in Gothic
rieites of much later date, and appear to he the lids
gaily of aarcopluagi, and to lia%e been removed from
setae other station to that which they tans occupy.
material is toe Putbrc quartile. The most
sitreient of diem is the figure of a prelate with a
steprented mitre, a beard, and mmtachins ; the two
Ora fingers of the right hand pointing upwind% in
slur act of benediction ; in the left hand a crosier.
In spandril!, above the head, on each side. are
cherubs. The fret of the figure and the crosier
rest ow two birds, which ter ttttt late in the centre
with a single head, the face of which is human.
The sides and ends are wrought into wide
flora, without I,ke the fluting of the
I)oric column ; the fin tit is placed parallel with
niche, and the tipper coiner of the lid at
the back, inward tour or five inches into the wall.

This tomb is on the mirth side of the chapel. The
other tomb is placed its a niche on the south side of
the chapel. immediately opposite that first describ-
ed. This is likewise the figure of * prelate, and is
carved so good style, and in much higher relief than
th- former. The arms and hands are placed in easy
awl natural positions on the body. over the staff of
the crosier; the head or crook is defaced. The
4nitre of this figure is of a more recent form thou
the other ; the feet rest on a chimera, carved in a
style of spirit mid beauty that would do htnour to
a period of more refined art. The head is that of
a wolf. terminating the body of a serpent, breach-
ing an each side, and scrolling dowu the sides of
the ltd. sod finally branching off into rich foliage
tistefully arranged by the feet of the figure, be-
tweeu which the bead is seen.
