At the base of the tower is the inscription :

"Scandit ad wther virgo puerpera virgula Jesse "
"She mounts to Heaven, the virgin mother, the rod
of Jesse."

The church consists of a nave and chancel, and
is benched throughout, and contains some very fine
monuments to members of the Tollemache family.
Atter leaving the church the party proceeded to a
field, from the formation of which Mr Cardew said
he felt certain that there had been an ancient tu-
mulus there. He set two men to work digging,
and at once they came upon a large quantity of
pottery, which some thought to be Anglo-Saxon,
but the majority of them thought them Romano-
British. He also found a spear. bead and the jaw-
bones of some animals. He had made elaven ex-
cavations in other parts of the field, and found re.
mains in each. He found the site of a house in which
were Roman remains, a few Saxon and some me■
dioeval, and the house ceased to exist is about the
reign of Henry VII. At another spot a gold coin
of Vespasian was picked up by one of his parish-
ioners. Mr Cardew then led the way to a moat
at the bottom of the field. At the rectory
Mr Cardew then exhibited the remains he
fund just above, and with the bodies in the ceme-
tery, and stated that he believed the date of the
cemetery was certainly not so late as the later
Norman occupation, but probably of the early
RAnan occupation, or before that time. He also
showed the remains (Roman and mediaeval) found
in the Pond Field.
The cemetery itself (near the churchyard) was
next visited. Here a great deal of excavation has
been going on, and the skeletons ethibited. There
was no coffin or any sign of one to be found any-
where in the cemetery. There is a very large num-
ber of skeletons lying very close, many of them
perfect—one of a mother with that of her child.--
about five or six years old. One body was buried
ins mutilated condition, the head cut off, the
vertebra of the neck on the bosom, the head sup-
ported in its place by a flint; this was evidently the
body of a man of enormous power, the bones being
very large. Above the bodies the usual black
funereal pottery, some fragments of querns, and
some bones of animals ware found.

It was now time to return to Ipswich, which was
reached at a quarter past one o'clock.
At two o'clock the omnibuses were again called
into requisition to drive to Orwell-perk, Nacton, the
seat of the President, G. Tomlice, Esq., AL?.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN RENSIN GTON•GARDENB.
Yesterday Dr. Lankester instituted an inquiry at
the Hall Arms, Paddington, relative to the death of Fre-
derick Seholfied, aged 31, who was found dead and shot
through the head in a shrubbery in Kensington-gardens.
The deceased was identified by his brother. Witness heard
of his death last Monday evening, and his opinion was that
he committed suicide. He came to that conclusion owing to
the discovery of a letter at his lodgings in Short-street,
city. The coroner read the letter as follows Mother
pear,—These lines are the last my hand will trace, and
when your eye meets them I shall have passed into another
existence. It has come to this at last, and now I see how
mistaken I have been—how I have been playing a losing
game for years, I sea it all now it is too late. Forgive me
if you can for my conduct to you and everybody; there is
much that requires forgiveness. I have lost all but life,
and that I have rendered worthless. Wearied, sick,
disgusted, and hopeless, I must end it. I have delayed too
long already, and go to find rest if I can. Forgive me for
all, and forget if you can. God bless you. I know I am
wrong,very wrong, but I want to go. God bless you, mother,
and forgive me. From your miserable FRED." The witness
added that the deceased was not a good son. He had been a
cripple from birth. John Bunston, parkkeeper No. 37, de-
posed to finding the body at 4 o'clock in the morning of
Monday last. He heard the repert of a pistol on Sunday
night after the gates were closed. He and other officers
could not then discover the body although within 20
yards of the spot where it was found the next morning.
Mr J. S. Beale of Paddington, examined the head of de-
ceased, and found that the hair had been singed. Judg-
ing from the wound, he believed that death must have
been instantaneous. After some remarks from the coronet,
the jury returned a verdict of "Suicide under temporary
insanity."
