THE BISHOPS IN THE LORDS.

The Dublin Freeman of to-day (Thursday), commenting
on the motion for excluding spiritual peers from the
House of Lords. says :—" The lords spiritual had better
look out. Their places in the House of Lords are likely
to be vacant before many years roll over their right
reverend heads. The Nonconformists are resolved to
carry out the policy of their forefathers before Charles
the First's time, and relegate the Bishops to their
sees, where they are more useful than in the
Upper House. Mr. Beaumont opened the trenches on
Wednesday night. The Conservatives do not appear to
have felt much interest in the motion, for they mustered
only 158. The Liberals were not very anxious about it,
for they knew that the removal of the Bishops is only a
branch of the far larger question, viz., the disestablish-
inent of the Church. That the Liberal party will gird
themselves for the encounter as soon as circumstances are
allowed, we have many indications ; but the time has not
yet come, and meanwhile such motions as Mr. Beau-
mont's are premature.

THE DETERMINED SUICIDE IN DRUR

LANE.

Last night Mr. Bedford held an inquest at King's
College Hospital on the body of Edward Herbert, aged
33 years, who committed suicide on Monday last by
throwing himself from a window at 41, Parker-street,
Drury-lane. It appeared from the evidence that deceased
was in partnership with his mother, who carry on the
business of architectural modellers at 242, Euston-road.
On Saturday last he went to visit his sister, a married
woman residing at 41, Parker-street, and remained
there up to the time of his death, which resulted
from his leaping from the third-floor window
between one and two o'clock on the Monday morn.
ing. It was proved that the suicide was of a most
determined character, as deceased, after jumping once
from the window, went upstairs and repeated the act.
The medical testimony disclosed the fearful injuries he
received, and a statement made by Thomas Herbert, his
brother, left no doubt on the minds of the jury that he
was insane. A verdict of " Suicide whilst in a state of
temporary insanity'' was then returned.

FURTHER DETAILS.

NEWCASTLE, Wednesday.

Between ten and eleven o'clock this morning a collision
took place on the Tynemouth Railway, near Newcastle,
between a passenger train from Tynemouth and an excursion
train from Berwick. The signal was put up for the Tye-
mouth train to stop until the Berwick train had passed over
the points from the North line on to the Tynemouth
branch, but, instead of doing so, the driver of the Tyne-
mouth came on with his train,apparently thinking that he
could pass before the North train came up. Just then the
train from Berwick came in sight, and the driver of the
North train, seeing a collision inevitable, turned off the steam,
but the train could not be stopped in time, and it ran into
the Tynemouth train, breaking several of the carriages to
pieces. A large number of passengers were injured, but
none very seriously, The line was blocked for about an
hour and a half, and a great many trains with passengers
to see Newcastle races were detained.
