SUICIDE BY A GENTLEMAN.

On Tuesday evening
an inquest was held at Bath, be-
fore Mr. English, coroner for that city, to inquire into
the death of a gentleman who had committed suicide at
one of the first hotels in that city on the previous even-
ing. It appeared that the deceased went to Bath by the
down mail train on Monday afternoon, and proceeded to
thi hotel, where ho took dinner, and a pint of bitter
ale. About four o'clock in the afternoon, at his own
request, he was shown to his bedroom by one of the
chambermaids, to whom ho remarked, " What a confu-
Bien the town seems in to-day." She said, " Does it,
Sir; I have not been out to-day." He replied, " Yes,
it it is all through this bothering election; it is a
rack of nonsense." The chambermaid, about eight
o'clock the same evening, tried the door, but found it
locked. She took no notice of the circumstance,
tuaposing the gentleman had gone out and
taken the key with him. Next morning, however,
as the gentleman did not make his appearauno, his door
was tried and found locked, and, as no reply could be
obtained from within, a police,constable was sent for and
the door forced open. The unfortunate deceased was then
dizcovered lying on the goor in a large pool of blood,
with his throat frightfully cut, and quite dead.
Upon the dressing-table was found a razor covered
with blood, with which the melancholy act had
neon committed. The deceased's gold watch was
also found upon the dressing-table, and 11. Os. lid.
in silver and copper coin upon the mantel-shelf.
His coat and waistcoat were off, and in the pocket
were found prescriptions, signed by Sir James Clark, so
late as Saturday last, showing the deceased to have been
under medical treatment. A letter, directed to " Mr.
Underwood, architect, Oxford," was also found upon
the unfortunate man, which is the only means by which
his identification can be traced, as he was a perfect
stranger to the hotel. A messenger was dispatched to
Oxford as soon as the melancholy discovery was made,
but as he had not returned at ten o'clock on Tuesday
evening the inquest was adjourned. On Wednesday
evening the inquest was resumed upon the unfortunate
gentleman, when it appeared that the deceased was Mr.
Itu entvY Jones Underwood, architect, of St. John's-street,

THE BISHOP OF OXFORD AND STONE ALTARS.—
We learn that the Bishop of Oxford has directed the removal
of the stone altars erected in the several cemetery chapels in
that city, and that in consequence they have been converted
into communion tables, by being separated from the walls to
which they were attached, so as to become moveable tables
according to the rubrics of the Protestant Church.-0,27fr0d
