DETERMINED SUICIDE IN HENRY THE
CHAPEL.-AbOut half-past nine o'clock this morning, a very
painful sensation was created in the precincts of Saint Bartho-
lomew's Hospital, by the discovery of a suicide being perpe-
trated in the chapel of Henry the Bth, by the sexton, who also
held the senior beadleship of the Hospital just stated The
facts are as follow :—This morning, an admission to the cha-
pel, which adjoins Saint Bartholomew's Hospital, was wanted,
a person sent to the house of Mr. Thomas Thurrel, the untor-
tunate man, for the keys, but the answer was that Mr. Thur-
rel was missing, and had been some days ; in consequence the
door of the Chapel was burst open, when from the state of
some of the contents, suspicions were entertained that there
was something wrong. An examination was made, and on
going into the belfry, the deceased Mr. Thurrel was disco-
vered, suspended from one of the beams, quite dead, and from
appearances had been two days. The alarm was given, when
the body was cut down and taken to the dead house of the
hospital, till the result of a coroner's inquisition, which will be
held to-morrow. The deceased was a married man, and was
very much respected. He had held the office as beadle to the
hospital, for a great number of years.

An inquest was yesterday taken at the Portland
Arms, Portland Town, on the body of John Trante, aged 47.
It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, who- was
butler in a gentleman's family, about a fortnight ago was on a
ladder cleaning the windows of the house, No. 72, High-street,
Portland Town, when, one of the rounds he was standing
on giving way, he was precipitated to the ground and severely
bruised. He was taken in doors and attended by Mr. Gray,
a medical gentleman of the neighbourhood, who found that he
had broken some ribs, and that his right wrist was dislocated.
The dislocation was reduced, but the deceased became gra-
dually weaker, and died on Monday last. He has left. a wife
and family. Verdict--" Accidental death."

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—As Mrs. Monks, the
wife of a journeyman bricklayer, was passing down Bentinck-
street this morning, about seven o'clock, she was run against
by a brewer's dray, which knocked her down and the wheel
passed over her arm, literally crushing it to atoms. The
poor woman being advanced in years, has no chance of re-
covery.

FALSE REPRESENTATION.—A waiter at a chop-
house in Holborn was married a few days ago to the daughter
of respectable retired tradesman residing at Islington—a man
of considerable wealth—in consequence of its having been
falsely represented to the parents of the bride that he " had
an excellent situation in the Victualling-office."
EXTRAORDINARY CANINE SAGACITY.—The
following fact, which we lately witnessed while passing in one
of the steam-boats down the Clyde, so far exceeds any ordi-
nary instance of sagacity in the dog, that one is almost
tempted to pronounce it a real case of ratiocination. As the
steamer approached, a little dog, seemingly a terrier, was seen
to issue from a bothy used by the salmon fishermen, and
waded into the water till nothing was observed but the ani-
mal's nose. It immediately returned, however, with the end
of the rope to which the net-floats are fixed, which it carried
a considerable distance upon the ground, where it carefully
left it high and dry. Now, as every one may know, just before
the advance of a steam-boat in a narrow river, the water,
owing to the action of the paddles, suddenly subsides, and as
suddenly again rushes iu vi'Aent waves above water mark.
Had no: the dug known this, and taken the proper precau-
tion, the rope and floats would to a certainty have been carried
off. This curious incident elicited the strongest admiration
from all the passengers.-. Correspondent of the Sctosman.
