THE SUICIDE ON EPPING FOREST
O Saturday evening last an inquest was held at the
King's Oak Inn, High Beach, before Mr. C. C. Lewis,
the coroner for South Essex, on view of the body of
Alexander Scott Grove, Esq., aged fifty years of age,
who committed suicide at mid-day on Wednesday last,
in Epping Forest. The circumstances attendant on the
death of the deceased, seemed, for two or three days, to
'
be enveloped in considerable mystery, and the report
current in the neighbourhood was, that on Wednesday
morning he arrived from town, at the establishment of
Dr. Allen, at High Beach, on a visit to one of the female
patients there, and shortly afterwards was found hanging
from a tree in the forest.
From the evidence adduced before the coroner and
jury on Saturday evening, it appeared that the deceased
gentleman had been a patient in the asylum of Dr.
Allen for five months, and left in perfect health.
The week before last symptoms of his farmer disease
having presented themselves, his medical attendant in
town recommended another retirement to the
asylum of Dr. Allen, and on Monday last he was
taken there by his brother. There being no certificate
of his insanity, he was not placed under any particular
restraint. On Tuesday night his malady seemed in-
creasing, and in the presence of Dr. Allen himself let
drop some hints about his intention to commit suicide,
but the Doctor rallied him, and he subsequently joined
in a game of whist, and his mind seemed more at ease.
Dr. Allen, however, felt it necessary, from the symptoms
that presented themselves, to write to the brother of the
deceased, and request his attendance at Iligh Beach
without delay. On Wednesday morning deceased was
allowed to walk about unrestrained, and had been seen
by many persons in the neighbourhood of High Beach.
About one o'clock he was found by two men, named
Clerk and Morgan, suspended by a white silk handker-
chief from the branch of an oak, in a thicket in the
forest. '_they immediately cut him down, and carried
the body to the King's Oak Inn, where Mr. Scool, a
veterinary surgeon, made several efforts to restore ani-
mation, but withoLit effect. The body was hardly cold
when the brother or" the deceased had arrived at Dr.
Allen's establishment, Ichere, news of the melancholy
discovery bad hilt' a few miut:tes before reached.
Dr. Darling, a medical gentleM'an• under whose care
and treatment the tle6efieel had freqii°lltly been, deposed
to his being subject to 'occasional attacks of yinnity, and
said that Mr. Grove' had latterly expressed fear of
laying violent hands !on himself, and he (Dr. Darling) in
consequence recommended him to go back to Dr. Allen's,
and keeping himself quiet there, and he should soon
recover from such a feeling.
The CORONER expressed his regret, after what fell
from the deceased gentleman himself about his intention
to commit suicide, that he was not put under some re-
straint or surveillance. Had such been done his life
might have been spared, and he considered that the con-
duct of Dr. Allen was not altogether free from blame in
the unfortunate affair.
The jury expressed a similar opinion, and returned a
verdict that the deceased had committed the act of suicide
while labouring under temporary insanity.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

- - - -
During the past week rather an extensive supply of
English Wheat came to hand from Lincolnshire, but
from Essex and Kent the receipts of that article of
grain were only to a moderate extent. Of other kinds
of grain the arrivals were by no means large. Fresh up
the supplies of Wheat coastwise, as well as by land car-
riage and sample, ware only moderate, yet we had rather
an extensive show of parcels of both red and white, ow-
ing to which the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce was in a very sluggish state. However, the
finest qualities were mostly disposed of at fully last
vc eek's quotations, but all other kinds were a mere drug
at barely late rates. The 'general condition of the
samples was inferior. The imports of foreign Wheat
have been small, and we had very few samples hero
to day. Generally speaking, holders were firm. The
finest qualities commanded a fair inquiry, at very full
prices. In other kinds, next to nothing was doing. A
tew speculative sales took place in bonded Barley ; but
other Corn, under lock, was almost nominal in value.
The show of Barley was tolerably extensive. Fine
parcels sold at a decline of Is ; other kinds, Is to 2s per
quarter, and a large portion remained over for Wednes-
day. The Malt trade was very dull, and, in some
instances, the rates were somewhat easier. The show of
Oats was good, while all descriptions met a slow inquiry,
at barely last week's quotations. In Beans very little
was doing, at an abatement of Is per quarter. Gray
and Maple Peas were ls per quarter cheaper. Flour,
and all other artichs, were very dull.

Compared with that exhibited on many previous
Mondays the supplytof Beasts on sale was but moderate,
while its general quality was very inferior. Owing to
the favourable change in the weather, the increased at-
tendance of both town and country buyers, and to the
dead markets being well cleared of their last week's
arrivals of country-killed meat, the beef trade this morn-
ing:was active, at an advance in the currencies obtained
on this day se'nnight of quite 2d per 81bs. ; the best
Scots, &e., readily producing 4s 2d per Bibs., and at
which improvement a clearance was effected without
difficulty. During the week the imports of live stock
at Hull hare amounted to 96 Beasts and 40 Sheep,
by steamers from Rotterdam ; while in London
we have received seventy-two Oxen and Cows from
the above port, exclusive of 40 Sheep. At Southampton
three Oxen have come to hand from Vigo. Generally
speaking these imports have come in fair average condi-
tion. To-day we had only five Beasts and 20 Sheep
offering from Holland. The whole found buyers at a
trifle more money. The arrival of Beasts from Lincoln-
shire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to
about 1,400 Short Horns. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex
and Cambridgeshire, we have received 300 Scots, &c. ;
from the Western and Midland Counties, 600 Devons,
Herefords, Runts, Irish Beasts, &c. ; from other parts of
England, 500 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 200
Horned and Polled Scots—the remainder oft he supply
being derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
The supply of Sheep was only moderate for the time of
year. but quite equal to meet the wants of the buyers. Prime
old Downs commanded a steady inquiry, at an advance
in the quotations of 2d per Bibs, the highest figure being
4s 2d ;but in the value of other qualities no variation
was noticed. As is usually the case at this season, the
Veal trade was extremely inactive, at nominally low
figures. There was a steady business doing in the
primest Pigs ; but other qualities were a mere drug.

The arrivals of country-killed meat up to these markets
during the week have been seasonably extensive, but for
the most part of very middling quality. With meat
killed in the metropolis we have been well supplied, yet
the demand for the primest Beef and Mutton has ruled
active, at full prices. All other kinds of meat have sold
heavily, at, in some instances, reduced figures. A few
carcases of foreign Beasts and Sheep have sold at fair
quotations.

BOROUGH AND SPITAZFIELDS.

Rather an extensi v;;Wpliof Potatoes has been re-
ceived at the water side since Monday last, yet very
little effect has been produced upon the demand, arising
from several of the large dealers being short of stock.
The trade, however, is by no means active.

The supply of Hops on offer here, since our last re-
rort, has been only to a moderate extent, yet, as the
declared duty has somewhat exceeded previous estimates,
the demand is inactive at our quotations.
WOOS. DELLIMET.

In the past week the imports, of Wool have been libe-
ral, they having consisted of 159 bales from Hamburg
288 ditto from Callao, 60 ditto from Rotterdam, 425
ditio from Taganrog, 289 ditto from Port Phillip, 500
ditto from Sydney, and ,275 ditto from Odessa. Both
foreign and colonial qualities are a dull sale, yet the
rates may be considered about stationary. In English,
next to nothing is doing, and prices are not maintained.

TALLOW.
Tho price of Tallow continues very steady, and from
the circumstance of many persons having an interest in
the market, the price is not likely to decline, at all events
for the present. For the spring the price is firm at 41s
for January, and 41s 3d for February and March. The
season has closed at St. Petersburgh. The total quan-
tity shipped off is 113,509 casks, against 121,787 last
year, to the 30th October, when the winter had set in.
The vessels, with one or two exceptions, will, no doubt,
get away. Town Tallow is 41s nett cash.

made them the parents of seven, all in one room, and in
very deplorable circumstances. This case is a very

If the following statement be correct, received this
morning from New York, the holders of State Bonds are
in a very bad position :—" Since the departure of the
last steamer there has been quite a decline in the quo-
tations for many of the State stocks, including some
of those now regularly paying the interest on their
public debt. Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania State
stooks have fallen off very much, and a further decline
in the market value of the stock of delinquent States
must be experienced. The election of Mr. Polk
settles the policy of the administration of the general
government for the next four years, and the principle of
distribution falls to the ground. The hope that many
entertained of the success of Mr. Clay, on account of this
principle alone, must now be abandoned, and the cre-
ditors of the delinquent States look to other sources for
the payment of their bonds. Every State must now
depend upon its own resources. Nothing can be ex-
pected from the general Government to aid them
in their financial difficulties. We cannot at present
see the slightest favourable indication in the movement
of the repudiating States, calculated to afford the most
trifling hope to those interested in the regular payment
of the accruing interest on their large debts. So far as
the State of Illinois is concerned, the whole negotiation,
about which so much has been said, and so much time
and money consumed, is narrowed down to the decision
of the Legislature of the State in the coming winter."
The demand for British manufactured goods had ra-
ther improved. The balance of trade was against the
United States, and specie was is demand for exportation
to Europe. The Cotton market was brisk. The Corn
trade was dull.

From Canada we learn that a great deal of interest
was taken in the result of the elections, which were all
but completed. Sir Charles Metcalfe would, it was fully
expected, have a full working majority to carry on his
Government. True it is that a few names are on the
libt of returned members of a most doubtful and sus-
picious repute. Nevertheless it is to be hoped that the
general policy of Sir Charles may be carried on,' as his
desire is to extend the prosperity, and to develope the
resources of the Canadas. The weather had set in very
severely.

Theie are accounts from Buenos Ayres to-day to th•
7th September. It appears that conflicts were still in
progress with the Monte Videans, and that they have
in some instances the advantage, at least according to
their own accounts. _ _

The Government brokers took about 15,0001. stock in
the New Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. to day at 102 A.
The market for the Funds has fallen to some extent in
consequence of the news from tile United States being
considered as rather unfavourable—the election of Mr.
Polk to the Presidency being held as against British in-
fluence. The prices of Consols for the Account this
worming has been 1001 and for transfer to-morrow,
1004 4. The premium on Exchequer Bills has risen
to 625. _

In the Foreign Market a fair amount of business has
been transacted to-day. Spanish Stock has scarcely
been so firm as it was, as it appears that the statement
of the capture of Zurbano has not been confirmed. Spa-
nish Bonds have been at 24, and the Three per Cents.
at 35i. Dutch FourperCents. have been taken at 97; the
Five per Cents at 99; Russian at 119 ; and Mexican at
35i In the other Foreign Bonds the variations have
been slight to-day.
In the Share Market more business has been effected
this morning. Prices are on the whole rather lower,
especially the Birmingham and Gloucester, the Bristol
and Exeter, the Churnet Valley, and some of the French
lines of railway.

BEAUFORT—FOUR LIVES LOST.—Another of those
deplorable and lamentable occurrences which too fre-
quently accompany mining operations, and characterise
the critical and dangerous position of those class of in-
dividuals, who labour to gain their daily bread in this
section of national industry, happened at Beaufort Iron
Works, in one of the mine quarries, or patches, on Tues-
day afternoon, by which the lives of four persons were
sacrificed. The unfortunate party were at that time en-
gaged in pushing up the rubbish tram, for the purpose
of clearing the remains of a "fall," when a piece of
ground, from the strata, lying eight yards above, unex-
pectedly gave way, and fell directly on them, literally
crushing nearly every bone in their bodies, and, in a
moment, depriving them of life. A strict inquiry has
been made, so as to ascertain whether this serious event
was occasioned by any negligence on the part of the
master watchman, and from which it appears there is not
the slightest blame attributable to him, but that it has
been the result of pure accident. The ground was ap-
parently safe, and there was not the slightest indication
of danger. The names of the deceased are Isaac James,
aged 18, Cecilia James, 18 (brother and sister), Charles
Pensham, 21, and Margaret Davies, 18.—Monmouthshire
Merlin.
