DREADFUL SUICIDE BY A LAW WRITER.-011 Satur-
day, Mr. Win. Baker, deputy coroner, held an inquest at the
Bridge House Tavern, Roston ou Town, on the body of
Mr. Henry Arrowsmith, aged 27, a law-writer, of 17, Can-
mng•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
fire-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 on
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 two months, which had preyed upon his mind. Verdict,

Temporary Insanity.
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE OFF BANKSIDE._TWO
LIVES LOST.—Yesterday forenoon, shortly after one o'clock,
a distressing accident happened at Bankside, near London-
bridge, by which two lives were lost. What rem
i
ders t more
painful is, that it was witnessed by a reat crowd of persons
g
on shore, who were unable to render the least assistance to
the unfortunate parties. The calamity arose from the prac-
tice of bathing at that place, which is most dangerous, in
cousequenee 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 the other boy had grasped
some part of his body, and that they were both drowning.
A large number of persons collected along Bankside—there

aid of the funds of the above excellent society, was celebrated
in the pleasure grounds of Moat House, Alderman Fairbro-.
ther's villa, at Stockwell. The weather was brilliantly fine,
and thefite, which was numerously attended, went off with
great Mot. After spending some time in promenading the
grounds, the company sat down to a de jeu ner, laid out in a
spacious marquee, erected for the occasion beneath the grate-
fill shade of the trees, the banquet being enlivened with the
strains of a military band. The Lord Mayor, who presided,
then briedv 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 boards.
The proceeds of the ,fete will, we hope, prove a welcome ad- -
dition to the funds of the society.

THE MURDER AT KINETON, WARWICKSHIRE:
From a Correspondent.)--No clue to this mysterious affair
iiad been found up to Friday night, when bills were printed
at Warwick offering 1001. reward by the Secretary of State
for the apprehenEgen 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, r.ar., 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 case
then was only oae 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
Kineton.
