was nominated a Companion of the Bath, and in 1833 was
knighted. The ;we Sir John Macleod was in IS4O appointed

count Goderich and Miss Vynor, daughter of Mr. and Lady
Mary Vynor, is fixed to take place on Tuesday next. The
ceremony will take place by special licence at the mansion of
Earl De Grey, in St. James's-square.
SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES.—Viscount Mahon,
President, was in the chair on Thursday night, and intro-
duced Mr. Evelyn, M.P., of Wotton, Surrey, as a member of
the society, and as the lineal descendant of one of the early
fathers of the body in the reign of Charles 11. The certi-
ficate in favour of Mr. T. Lennard, M.P., was ordered to be,
suspended. Many presents were made to the library, and
thanks returned to the liberal donors. The reading of they
evening was confined to an important and learned paper,
by Mr. Wm. Ray Smee, of the Bank of England, on
the comparative value of gold and silver at various,
antecedent periods, commencing with the early history of,
Rome, and cringing the subject regularly down in our own
history to our own times. It contained many curious illus-
trations, and was most authentic it its details ; but it was
too long to be concluded in one night, end the remainder was
necessarily deferred. Mr. Dickenson sent some interesting
objects in gold from South America, including a Peruvian
idol and an armlet and plate of considerable value. A specimen
of penannular gold ring money was contributed by another
member.
SUICIDE.—At half-past seven o'clock this morning,
Mrs. M'Nicol, who occupied the upper part of the house of
Mr. Grindley, chemist, of Pall-mall, as a lodging-house,
committed suicide by throwing herself out of the upper
garret-window, from the parapet. She fell upon her back,
lifeless. She was immediately conveyed to the Charing-
cross Hospital, waiting an inquest to be held on her. The
cause assigned for this rash act is from adverse circum-
stances, as to-day she would have been compelled to leave,
an execution being :bout to be carried into effect for arrears
of rent, &c. Her husband, who was formerly steward of
the Rotorua club, is WM in America.
