SUDDEN DEATH OF SIR RICHARD
SUTTON, BART.

We regret to announce the sudden death of Sir
Richard Sutton, Bart., which melancholy event took
place at his residence (better known as Cambridge
House), in Piccadilly, yesterday forenoon, under very
painful circumstances. The respected baronet had
only arrived in town on Monday last from his seat in
Nottinghamshire, and rose yesterday morning at his
usual hour in apparently excellent health and spirits.
After partaking of a hearty breakfast he wrote a letter
to a near relative, and then repaired to the closet. His
prolonged abeence at length occasioned alarm, and on
forcing the door Sir Richard was found dead. Medical
assistance was promptly obtained, but the vital spark
had fled, and medical aid was of no avail. It was the
opinion of the professional gentlemen called in that death
had, most likely, resulted from disease or some affection
of the heart.
The deceased baronet was eldest son of Mr. John
Sutton, son of Sir Richard Sutton, formerly Under
Secretary of State. He was born Dec. 16, 1798, and
when in his fourth year he succeeded to the baronetcy
on the death of his grandfather, Sir Richard Sutton,
the first Baronet. The deceased married Dec. 17, 1819,
Mary Eiizabeth Burton, daughter of the late Mr. Ben-
jamin Burton, of Burton Hall, Carlow, which amiable
lady died in January, 1842. The lamented deceased is
succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, Mr.
Richard Sutinn, born Oct. 21, 1820, and married in
December, 1844, to Emma Helena, daughter of Col.
Sherlock. The late baronet was an ardent lover of the
chase, and was well known to every sportsman in the
midland county. Sir Richard for many years kept the
Burton Hounds, and then took to the Cottesmore
Hounds when the late Earl of Lonsdale gave up that
celebra'ed pack, and for about ten years has been owner
of the Quorn Hounds hunting the Melton country. The
death of the worthy baronet will he deeply regretted by
the noblemen and gentlemen who annually rasurt to that
sporting metropolis.

ExTENSIVE FLOODS IN WALES.—The late heavy rains
have caused serious inundations in many parts of the
principality, and in some places whole districts have been
covered with water. Cattle, ponies, anii sheep have been
drowned, embankments swept away, and at one period
the Holyhead and Shrewsbury road was five feet under
water. In South Wales the lowlands have also been
covered with the inundations, and some loss has been
experienced in cattle, sheep, hay, &c.
A RUSSIAN KNOUT.—The Journal de Villefranche
says—" A soldier of the sth Regiment of the Line,
coming from Sebastopol, lately passing through this
town, showed as a trophy a knout which he had seized
on an officer, made prisoner by him in the Crimea. This
instrument of correction has a handle about a foot and
a half long with a heavy metal at the end. One end is
covered over with woven wire, like the handle of a cut-
ting-v!hip, and at the other is a thick, leather thong.
This instrument of serfdom, whioh forms such a con-
trast with our liberal ideas, excited the curiosity of all
who saw it."
