SUICIDE IN BLENHEIM PARK.

On Friday afternoon'an inquest was held at the
Bear Hotel, Woodstock, by Mr. William Brunner,
on the body of a Spanish gentleman, when the
following evidence was adduced :

Mr. Joseph Haines, landlord of the Bear Hotel,
Woodstock, deposed that on Tuesday afternoon, the
12th inst., the deceased arrived at his house by the
omnibus from the Woodstock station on the Great
Western Railway, and stayed there till the middle
of the day on Thursday, when he went out, as he
supposed, to make sketches in the Park, as he had
previously inquired which were the most forest-
looking parts of the park to make sketches from.
He left the inn about 12 o'clock, having previously
ordered a dinner to be prepared for him by 6 o'clock
in the evening. He heard nothing more of him until
about 4 o'clock, when he was informed that a gentle-
man had shot himself in the park, and on going
there he identified the body as that of the gentle-
man who had been staying at his house. The de-
ceased spoke English fluently, was particularly
quiet and reserved, and employed himself chiefly
in writing during the time he was at the inn.
Malcolm Keir, inspectar of the county police at
Woodstock, deposed that in consequence of infor-
mation which he bad received from Mr. Scott, he
went to that part of the park where the body was
lying, and found that the deceased had a pistol in
one hand, with his fingers on the trigger, and that
a bullet had passed from the mouth through the
skull and out at the back of the hat. Upon the
deceased were found a double-barreled pistol, powder
flask, box of caps, box of wadding, five bullets, a
Spanish knife, a sovereign, three shillings, thre e
pence, a cigar-case, shirt and wrist studs, and a
pocket-book containing a letter addressed to the
Duke of Marlborough, one to Mrs. Haines, at the
Bear Hotel, a passport, and sundry other letters in
Spanish as well as in English. One of the latter
was addressed, " Don Antonio •Arrom de Ayala,
Spanish Consul for Australia, Tavistock Hotel,
Covent-garden."
The following is a copy of the letter addressed
to the Duke of Marlborough
" Woodstock, April 14.
"My Lord,—l humbly ask your lordship's pardon and
forgiveness for the great liberty I have taken in coming to
put an end to my dreary and miserable existence in your
park. It may be childish feeling, but one cannot blow his
brains out in a common road, or one of those cultivated
fields full of cottages, and life, and civilisation, and rail-
ways, and establishments of all kinds, of which your bessed
country of England abound. So I have not found another
proper place to die decently than your handsome park, and
you must bear the inconvenience of a dead man in your
grounds. I mean no offence.
" I have yesterday visited your house, hoping that the
sight of good things, and chiefly good paintmgs, could do
me good, and soften the wild ideas that have led me to put
an end to my life ; but all of no use. Your manor is one
of the most splendid things I ever saw in my life, and I
have travelled about and seen nearly everything worth
seeing. You have the finest Rubens that can be seen;
that should have a great attraction for me under other
circumstances, but now they have been of no use.
" I hope, with that splendid house, and park, and paint-
ings, and library, you are happy, my lord. If that is the
case you will have a kind heart, and pity a poor devil come
to die in your grounds. If, on the contrary, you are miser-
able also, as wealth is a medium, and do not' constitute hap. '
piness then you will say, like old Dido,—
" Non ignara mall, miseris succurere '
and pity me, and order that they shall leave me quiet., and.
bury me in the spot I have died, and put a cross on it in
the Spanish fashion. I will be very grateful in the other
world for it if you do so, and wish not to trouble any more
your Lordship about me.
" I am, my Lord, yours respectfully
"A. ARROM DE AYALA "

the Duke of Marlborough, Blenheim Manor, or
where he may be."

Haines :
April 14, 1859.
"My dear Madam,--Pray do not be alarmed when you
know I am dead on account of the payment of expenses at-
your quiet, comfortable place.
" I had rest and quiet for my last arrangements at your
hotel, and comfortable accqmmodation, and I am grateful
for it. I wrote to my friend in London, Mr. Albert Rott-
man, 26, Duncan-terrace, Islington, London, who will
come, no doubt, open my carpet-bag, and pay you liberally
my last bill on earth. If that letter is lost, and by some
chance this gentleman does not come after two months from,
this day, nor any other person of my relatives or friends
and settle your bill, I authorise you to open my carpet-bag
and take £4 out of £ll you will find in my purse, and send
the carpet-bag, with my watch, chain, a ring with a seal o
coat of arms of Spain, and all its contents, to Messrs, Duff,

VOTING IN NEW SOUTII WALES.—Mr. H.
Berkeley has obtained a return of the act passed by the
legislature of New South Wales, authorising the use of the
ballot at elections. The system there adopted is as follows :
—A. large box is prepared with a slit in the lid, and this is
left open on a table in the polling booth for the inspection
of the candidates and the scrutineers whom they may ap-
point. When the hour for the election arrives the box is
locked and the key entrusted to the returning officer. Each
elector then comes singly into the room and is supplied
with a voting paper, on which are the names of all the can-
didates. This he takes into a compartment partitioned off
from the room, and strikes out the names of the candidates
for whom he does not wish to vote. He then folds up the
paper and drops it into the box. If he cannot read; the
ramming officer may, on his request, strike out the names
to which he objects, and vote for him. If there should be
ally suspicion of bribery, he is required solemnlypon.terearsz

X_A ported me a few weeks ago having three times passed
public Resolutions inviting me to ask your suffrages at the
approaching General Election, I do not feel at liberty to resist
their flattering desire.
My political opinions are already well known to you ; and
they have recently been sanctioned by the decisive judgment
which the House of Commons has pronounced against the
Government. In accordance with that judgment the conduct
of affairs will doubtless be transferred to the well-known
friends of Freedom and Reform, as soon as the new Parlia-
ment assembles.
The Petition against the late return was presented on Mon-
day, the 4th instant, without the slightest knowledge that a
dissolution was impending. Conclusive evidence was ready
to establish, upon oath, that the destruction of the polling
booth commenced before four o'clock, on the 18th of March ;
and that, on this and other grounds, the Election was illegal.
It now remains with yon to show that, as you have hitherto
continued, you still will continue faithful to the principles
you nobly upheld in 1857, and which have so often ruled the
councils of the Empire.
I shall take the earliest opportunity of personally waiting
upon every Elector of the Borough.
And have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,

Lord Jolts RUSSELL is determined to die game.
He is struggling hard to retain his seat for the
City of London, the loss whereof would be the
most emphatic condemnation of his policy, not
only with respect to his recent resolution, which
shelved the question of Reform for the present
year, but also as to his hostility to THE BALLOT
the point on which, of all others, the public mind

is most intent. It is an important issue; for
although the noble lord should not be returned for
the metropolis, it is quite certain that he would not
be excluded from Parliamentary life. He. would
find some place of refuge, such as Westburyproved
to Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Tiverton to Lord PAL-
MERSTON. From under some such convenient
shield he might still discharge his shafts at
any Government which had incurred his dis-
pleasure, by not finding a prominent place for him-
self in the Cabinet !

The great matter which he sought to excuse was
his conduct in bringing forward the resolution,
which proceeding was justly characterised by Mr.
GLADSTONE as " not only a novelty, but a very in-
convenient novelty." The manner in which he
laboured the subject, the specious sophistries he
put forward, clearly indicated the grave mis-
givings which be must have entertained respecting
the opinions of the independent Liberals of Lon-
don. He consulted, as he tells us, men of all shades
and varieties of political opinion, and he found that
many of these gentlemen thought that throwing
out the bill on the second reading—which he him
self was quite prepared to do—would be a violent
course ; that it would prevent any further pro-
ceeding with the measure in any case, even
if the Government themselves consented to alter it.
Did he believe, for a moment, that such an altera-
tion could or would be made ? Was he not perfectly
well aware that the adoption of his resolution must
inevitably have proved the signal for the with-
drawal of the Bill, and the resignation of Ministers,
or a general' appeal to the country. Perhaps he
did not fully realise the probability of the latter
alterative. Quod volurnus facile credimus ; and Lord
JOHN was too intent on once more obtaining a pro-
minent position in the Cabinet to give full weight
to all the elements of the calculation, as he might
have done if he could have known that he would be
required to defend his seat for London against so
formidable and popular an adversary as Lord
STANLEY.

The resolution was skilfully contrived to capture
stray votes—to keep together those who would not
have taken the extreme step of voting against the
second reading, but who were glad of a plausible
excuse to that which, to all intents and purposes,
answered the same purpose. It was not until
Lord PALMERSTON flung forth the tabula in nau-
fragio, that the pretext was eagerly seized on and
rendered available to secure the services of sundry
waverers. It was scarcely fair for the Noble Lord
to say that the Government might have accepted
the spirit of the resolution; when he confessed that
he never expected them to adopt its language. Nor
was it more fair to say that the Chancellor of the
EXchequer declared—" If you do get a majority
against any of the provisions of the Bill, or in
favour of introducing new provisions, we shall feel
at liberty to go on with the Bill, or to drop it—
to assent to such alterations, or to refuse our
assent." At what time was this statement made ?
Was it not at the very conclusion of a protracted
debate, when every mind was decided, with per-
haps one exception. How, then, could it have in-
fluenced the resolution, or induced parties either to
bring it forward or support it ?
Besides it was not a voluntary statement. It was
made in answer toone of the most extraordinary ques-
tions ever exhibited to a Government. It was inquired
if they would, in the event of being left in a mino-
rity on certain points, pledge themselves not to
resign. And, as a matter of course, so humiliating
a promise, which would have degraded the Govern-
ment, and rendered them unfit to direct the affairs
of a great nation, was unhesitatingly declined.
Not much better is the mystification respecting
the Ballot. It is a second edition of the game
played by his brother at the last election, but
which cannot deceive the most short-sighted. His
belief is that if there are truth and justice in favour
of the Ballot it will be carried, but he does not
think it will be for the public interest ; and, there-
fore, his conviction is that "public opinion will
pronounce against it." However, he adds, " its
decision one way or the other can perhaps hardly
be attended with those consequences which some
hope and others apprehend 1" Will any staunch
and consistent Reformer be contented with this
quibbling—will any person earnestly desiring
the abolition of bribery and corruption, and
of enabling even the more humble elector to bestow
his suffrage, conceive that there is any prospect of
obtaining the great and anxiously-sought-for boon
at the hands of Lord JOHN RUSSELL ? Nor
would he give the slightest inkling of what he was
disposed to bring forward. He maintained a dis-
creet silence that prevented those entrusted with
the franchise from knowing what they were about
to do with their votes. The citizens of London
will have to decide between him and Lord STANLEY
—of whom the highest anticipations were long
since justly formed—many of which have already
been completely redeemed.

A few months ago Mr. BRIGHT was all but
revolutionary. His favourite element was at any
rate that of Democracy. He argued energetically
in favour of a very considerable extension of the
franchise, in favour of the Ballot, in favour of a
total redistribution of the electoral districts. His
own particular views in regard to Parliamentary
Reform he not only explained lucidly and elo-
quently to large audiences at Birmingham, at
Glasgow, at Edinburgh, at Liverpool—he defined
them clearly and succinctly, so clearly and suc-
cinctly that those who ran might read in a series
of bold, blunt schedules ranged alphabetically. All
this occurred during the recess—or rather towards
the close of it—during those wintry months when
there is most leisure for politicians, for all poli-
ticians indeed except those who happen to
be entrusted with the ever-onerous and
never-relaxed responsibilities of Administration.
Parliament met at length in February. The pre-
liminary labours of the session monopolised not
very surprisingly the residue of that shortest of the
twelve calendar months. At length, in March.
Ministers made good their promise of submitting
the literally "long vexed question" of Parliamentary
Reform to the candid consideration of the popular
representation. The Government Bill was laid
upon the table of the House of Commons—was
printed for distribution among the members—was
minutely and elaborately explained by the Leader
of the House, the Chancellor of her MAJESTY'S
Exchequer. Recollect that in the address of the
Commons inaugurative of the present session—
the address in answer to the gracious speech
from the Throne—the House had formally
pledged itself to the SOVEREIGN, in so many
words, to give to this most difficult problem of
r rm. the most candid and impartial con,sidera-
tion.
No sooner, however, had the Ministerial
Project for the remodelling of the existing system
of the popular representation been laid upon the
table, explained to the House, and brought under
discussion, than the Commons flagrantly broke
away from their pledge
undeniable, that
l'iert: in
a manner so distinct and
to the SOVEREIGN. They
did this, mor,
the problem— y
had said they would)—into
only did they refuse to take
candid and impartial consideration, but they
actually declined to take it into consideration at
all ! They refused to allow
e Bill to go into

They readily acceded to the spurious
proposition of a disappointed party leader below
the gangway on the side of the Opposition—
a proposition that was only not unprecedented,
inasmuch as that party leader had himself some
years back furnished this precedent. After a
stormy and impassioned debate, extending over
seven nights in all, the vague. resolutions proposed
by Lord JonN RUSSELL as an amendment to the
formal motion for the second. reading was carried
by a clear majority of 39 in a house of 626—the
division taking place only an hour or so after the
last day of March had merged into the first day of
April.

committee.

Not one syllable all this while had been heard of
Mr. BRIGHT'S Reform Bill, within the walls of
Parliament, deafened though the public had
been previously by the clamour raised on its
behalf outside those walls, prior to the com-
mencement of the legislative session. The
hon. member for Birmingham has very re-
cently said (since the date of the adverse division)
—speaking of the Cabinet proprosition—" Its cha-
racter was so bad and its features so ugly, that not
its enemies only, but those who should have been
its best friends were anxious that it should be put
under ground as speedily as possible." At any
rate the Government - Reform Bill—whether
hideously grotesque or exquisitely beautiful—was
the only Reform Bill frankly submitted to the con-
sideration of the House of Commons. Lord JOHN,
prior to the division, gave not the faintest fore-
shadowing of his intentions in regard to any
scheme for the remodelling of the popular represen-
tation. Mr. BRIGHT, so noisy and loquacious before
the meeting of Parliament, sat there mumchance on
the second bench below the gangway on the
Opposition side made no allusion even to
his Reform Bill, smuggled it up as incon-
venient, gave nobody the chance of accept-
ing it, or, on the other hand, of burying it under
the floor of the house as unsightly. At length,
in the midst of the factious discussion of seven
nights' continuance, the member for Birmingham
did certainly rise in his place and speak in regard
to the Cabinet proposition. The lion of the pro-
vinces, however, roared like any sucking dove down
at 'Westminster. As one of the hon. members said
afterwards in the debate—Mr. BRIGHT'S speech in
the house on Reform was milk and water mixed to
order! His conduct afterwards was consistent. Upon
the frank and manly proposition of the hon. member
for Bodmin—the supplementary amendment in fa-
vour of the Ballot—Mr. BRIGHT, with a perversity
kindred to that of Mr. BERKELEY, refused to vote
in favour of the Ballot—rather than vote then in its
favour he walked out into the lobby, and so left it as
few supporters as possible, in one of the largest
houses upon record.
Now, really and truly, the meaning of all this is
about as plain as a pikestaff. The member for
Birmingham obviously, glaringly, undeniably,
shapes his course according to circumstances.
Lord JOHN thought he was coming into power
again the other day, as the inevitable consequene.e
of his apparently triumphant division. So did
many others beside Lord JOHN deem it probable
that we were again to rejoice in the possession of
a Whig First Lord of the Treasury. But the neW
Whig Ministry, whenever it comes—must—every
body feels this—have an infusion of new blood
into it to give it strength and popularity. ,What
if conspicuous among those who shall supply it
with the new blood, thus yielding it the vigorous
accession of strength and popularity, what if
prominent among those new Ministers should
be the Right Hon. JOHN BRIGHT, M.P.
for Birmingham ! An admirable idea in itself,
but a wholly impracticable one if Mr. BRIGHT com-
mits himself point blank to a democratic Reform
Bill of his own; runs his head against what to the
Whig Party is really nothing better than " that
dead wall"—the Ballot ; and perpetrates with a
like obtuseness divers other kindred extravagancies.
We wonder very much, indeed, if Mr. BRIGHT
himself has been one of those to recognise sponta-
neously the exceeding advisability of this wise reti-
cence ! If not, the course he has recently been pur-
suing in the matter of Reform is really in its way
quite a delightful coincidence. It is one in which
—of course by the merest chance—he has acted in a
manner the most delightfully judicious. Listen to
those amiable and conciliatory words of his
uttered on Wednesday down at Rochdale—
when he observed with quite an effusion of
feeling, " With respect to Lord JoHN RussELL,
he brought the question of Reform before the
House year after year, when none but himself
scarcely advocated it." [Mr. BRIGHT omitted to
add that by the noble lord bringing it forward
thus year after year the country has gained just
exactly—Nothing.] " He" (Lord JoHN), added
Mr. BRIGHT, " had then as now a real sympathy
for Reform" [nevertheless, being then as now dia-
metrically opposed to the most essential of all re-
forms—the Ballot ! Mr. BRIGHT perhaps forgot to
mention that.] "He had a real sympathy for Re-
form," observed Mr. BRIGHT, " although he was
born in a ducal palace. They must, therefore
(down at Rochdale, and such like places), make an
allowance for his shortcomings, if he did not march
at the speed they could wish." So amiably, so
charmingly does the voice become modulated at the
mere prospect of becoming a Cabinet Minister and
a Privy Councillor. Surely these are the wards no
longer of the bold Tribune, but of the Right Hon.
JOHN BRIGHT—one of the colleagues in the next
Administration.
