WESTOFT, A DELIGHTFUL
WATERING- PLACE.
A late number of the Muse/Uteri London News con-
tains an in terestingairtie/e on the late Lowestoft Regatta,
written in a very superior style, and accompanied by a
largo, remarkably beautiful engraving, after a drawing
by Duncan, the marine painter, of the esplanade and its
water frontage, the latter covered wiht boats, yachts,
&c., presenting a scene at once picturesque and ani-
mated. We were ignorant, till we read the article, that
there was any such beautiful place as Lowestoft on the
coasts of merry England ; almost ignorant of its ex-
istence. As many of our readers may be in a similar
state of darkness, we will borrow from the Illustrated an
extract for their illumination Picturesque as
Lowestoft at all times is, it was rendered in-
finitely more so than usual by these festive
accessories, which drew the largest number of
visitors ever witnessed by that most übiquitous of
annalists, the oldest inhabitant,' or ever reeorded
by any of its more venerable and veracious chroniclers,
whether Norman, Dane, Anglo-Saxon, Dutch, or
British, for at one time or other Lowestoft has afforded
stirring materials to historians of nearly every epoch in
our annals. Of late, or, rather, until of late, its name
has rarely been heard beyond the district in which it is
situated—that is, it has no English status, whether in
business or pleasure, commerce or hygiene; but its
situation on the extremest point of the eastern coast, its
proximity as the nearest port to Holland, being only
ninety miles from the Texel, directly opposite, has in-
vested it with an almost universal geographical fami-
liarity to the tempest-tossed mariner navigating the
German Ocean; and it may boast of a still wider and
more enduring attractiveness in the circumstance rafts
being close to Yarmouth Roads, the first haven of that
most famous of all voyagers, Robinson Crusce. Lowestoft,
however, is fast acquiring an eminence amongst modern
watering-places, fully commensurate with the posi-
tion it so long held among more ancient localities simi-
larly situated. Hitherto it has been comparatively shut
out from the tourist and the valetudinarian, to whom the
peculiarities of the surrounding country, the genial cli-
mate, and the many topographical advantages, economical
and otherwise, would have recommended it. But within
the last two or three years an extension of the Eastern
Counties Railway has thrown it open, and the population
of the entire district, embracing an area of not less, pro-
bably, than one hunched miles, have since kept flocking
to sco it in progressively increasing numbers, and with
an eagerness which each succeeding visit augments.
There are few structures of a public kind, Low-
estoft being, happily, for the peace and cordiality
of its people, neither a Parliamentary borough
nor a corporate town; so that political and party
feuds in no degree embitter the charities of private life.
These are advantages of which its inhabitants are fully
sensible; and, if they were disposed to forget them, they
are abundantly admonished by the example of a town
eleven miles to their north, which is a prey to the dissen-
sions Lowestoft is so luckily a stranger to. Such are
some of the many peculiarities that potently recommend
it to the patronage and countenance it receives from the
Gurneys, Buxtoas, Frys, and other wed known constitu-
tional quietists cf the same class in Norwich, Cam-
bridge, Essex, and elsewhere, as well us to a very nu-
merous resident gentry in the vicinage, and many health-
seeking families from a distance who occupy lodgings
to a much later period of the year than might bo
thought desirable in so apparently exposed a latitude.
But it would stein that even in the winter months the
atmosphere is exceedingly mild, as the foliage of the
well-wooded neighbourhood sufficiently indicates. This
circumstance had for many years induced Baron Alder-
son to reside, whenever he could, at Lowestoft, braving
all the loss of time and dreary inconvenience of stage-
coach travelling to reach it; and, of course, now that
the railway has so vastly diminished these drawbacks,
he has so much the more reason to continue an ex-
ample which, iu so distinguished an individual, is natu-
rally nroduEtive, of no inconceivable imitation in his

SUICIDE OF A SURGEON.—On Saturday Mr. W.
Baker, jun., held an inquest at the White Hart, Turner-
street, Commercial-road, relative to the death of Mr. Wm.
Wheatley, aged 45, a surgeon, who committed self-destrlic-
tion by shooting himself with a pair of small holster pistol•
through the heart, at 13, Tureer-street. Dr. Thoraaa
Robertson, Mile-end-road, surgeon, stated that he saw
deceased a few minutes after the melancholy occurrence.
He found two perforations near each other, under the left
nipple. The shot had not passed through his body. He
felt one of them close to the spine. He had known deceased
intimately for the last twenty years. He was for many
years in the service of the Queen of Spain. About two
months ago he returned to England from South Australia.
He had been a medical officer on board the Kate, which had
taken some emigrants to Sydney, forwarded there by Go.
vernment. A charge was then preferred against him for
neglect of duty, that he allowed the men to go into the
berths of the single women. An investigation took place at
Sydney, the effect of which was that he lost a gratuity he
would have bad of 601., and he was prevented from ever
again having a Government appointment in that capacity.
Deceased protested his innocence of the charge, and said it
was when the women were unable to come on deck for water
owing to the weather he allowed the men to take water fOr
them. That was no charge against his moral character.
Had no doubt but the imputation on his character affected
his mind. Verdict—" Temporary insanity."

A FACT Fon THE PROTECTIONISTS..---AS a satis-
factory proof of the improvement in the employment and
condition of the poor, we learn that at the board-day, 011
Monday, Mr. Strait, the relieving officer, had not a single
case of application for relief from the parish of Bocking, and
only two on his books from the parish of Braintree—a cir-
cumstance unprecedented in his twenty years' experience as
overseer and relieving officer. Further, it may be added that
last week a poor-rate was made for the latter parish' t only
6d. in the pound, the lowest sum to be found in the pages of
that walking parochial record, the oldest inhabitant. •-•
