DREADFUL SUICIDE BY A LAW WRITER.—OR Satur-
day, Mr. Wm. Baker, deputy coroner, held an inquest at the
Bridge Houze Tavern, Hoxton Old Town, on the body of
Mr. Henry Arrowsmith, aged 27, a law-writer, of 17, Can-
ning-terrace, in that neighbourhood, who destroyed himself
by discharging a loaded pistol through his heart. George
Arrowsmith, brother of the deceased, said that on Wednes-
day afternoon, whilst he was sitting in the front parlour, his
attention was suddenly arrested by hearing a discharge of
tire -arms. Knowing that the deceased was in an adjoining
room, he called to him, but not receiving an answer, he pro-
ceeded to the room, where he found his brother lying oil
the bed in a pool of blood, and a pistol firmly grasped in his
hand. He was then alive, but unable to speak. During
the last two or three years he had suffered much from a ner-
vous affection, and he had been out of employment upwards
of twhi Months, which had preyed upon his mind. Verdict,
Temporary Insanity.
MELANCHOLY OCCIMRSNCE OFF BANKSIDE.'7",9
LIVES LOST.—Yesterday forenoon, shortly .fter one ver4
a distressing accident happened at Bankside, near Len: V: 7_
bridge, by which two lives were lost. What renders it m
painful is, that it was witnessed by a great crowd of person"
on shore, who were unable to render the least assistants ftl
the unfortunate parties. The calamity arose from the. prd6;
tice of bathing at that place, which is most dangerous, id
consequence of the steepness of its banks and the great.
number of ballast holes. A number of youths, from nine to
sixteen years of age, had been bathing during the forenoon,
when at the time mentioned, a cry was raised that a youth
was drowning, and one was seen struggling in the agonies of
death within fifteen or sixteen yards of the bank. Another
youth, named Pry, fifteen years of age, hastened to the spot
where the boy had been seen to go down, and dived after
him, but when he rose it was seen i he other boy had grasped .
some part of his body-, and that they were both drowning.

great eclat. After spending some time in promenading the
grounds, the company sat down to a dejeuner, laid out in a
spacious marquee, erected for the occasion beneath the grate=
ful shade of the trees, the banquet being enlivened with the
strains of a military band. The Lord Mayor, who presided,
then briefly proposed the toasts usual on such occasions,
among which were—" The Queen," " The Queen Dowager,
Patroness of the Institution," and " Prosperity to the
So-
ciety." The company afterwards adjourned to the lawn,
when the amusement of dancing commenced, and was pur-
sued with much spirit, with the substitution of fresh
turf and the setting sun for gas light and chalked boar&
The proceeds of the fête will, we hope, prove a welcome ad-
I dition to the funds of the society.
THE MURDER AT KIN ETON. WA RW IC KSHIRE.—
(From a Correspondent.)—No clue to this mysterious affair
had been found up to Friday night, when bills were printed
at Warwick offering 100/. reward by the Secretary of State
for the apprehension and conviction of the perpetrator, of this
atrocious crime. Early on Monday morning, however, pri-
vate information was received at the county town that two
persons were actually in custody, a rumour to that effect
having proved to be incorrect on the Monday previously.
We therefore immediately set out for Kineton, and on arriv-
ing there about two o'clock. P.m., we found that a private
examination of witnesses had been going on at the Red
Lion-inn from eleven o'clock in the morning. Upon making
an application for admission to the magistrates, we were in-
formed, that the court had thought it best for the ends of
justice that the details of the evidence should be kept private
until a formal public examination, as the aspect of the ease
then was only one of "strong suspicion." The names of the
parties taken into custody were James Shelswell and William
Mumford, both young men, and both natives or residents of
Eineton.
THE SUSSEX CLUB —The members of this county
club dined together on Saturday, at the Thatched-home
Tavern, St. James's. street. The Duke of Richmond pm-
, sided, and among the circle were Lord Abinger, Sir C.
Burrell, M.P., Sir John Dodson, &c. It was-the last meet•
ling this season. 4nrd Abincer was liatlledEiresidsa feu*.
