THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORN)

FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.
Morning caps are principally decorated with a pretty
English lace, put on in the form of a colimacon, each row
being separated by means of small coques of pink ribbon.
Another pretty style of cap is one composed of tulle, trimmed
upon the front with two rows of broad lace, which entirely
conceals the foundation, and is ornamented upon the centre
of the head with a demi-wreath of petits choux of red, velvet,
and terminated upon each side over the ears with a bunch
or chou,rather larger than the rest, having long ends depend-
ing from it.
artEssas.—Those composed of poult de wit are most in
vogue; they are principally decorated round the lower part
of the skirt with six rows of narrow lilac fringe, the bodies
formed half-high, and frilled into the waist, having a demi-
pelerine fastening at the back, and edged top and bottom
with a similar fringe ; plain sleeves, decorated with six
rows of fringe, put on at equal distances up the whole
length of the sleeve; guimpe of plaited muslin, edged
with an embroidered inlet all sound the neck; mantelet
of black lace. Another very elegant style of dress is
made in blue Italian silk, trimmed with a broad flounce dentele,
and surmounted by a second one, very narrow, similarly
dentele, and forming a heading to the broad one; plain
body, made hign upon the shoulders, and forming two
deep points upon the front, which are also decorated with
tkcings dentelies ; plain sleeves and round jockeys, likewise
dentellfs.
COIFICREB.—An elegant small kind of scarf, in shaded
open-worked silk, ornamented with long tast-eI4, has lately
appeared, destined for the forming of a pretty style of win-
ter head-dress ; they are twisted round the head, and have
a very light and graceful effect ; they are also rendered more
magnificent by being intermixed with gold and trimmed
with broad fringe, which floats gracefully over each side by
the ears, having somewhat the appearance of a small turban.
FIRM.--Ermine and sable are still considered as by far the
richest and most- recherche looking furs ; but there is also
another which classes with these, and which last year was in
great favour with our elegantes. Broad volants of martin
serves to ornament those comfortable and elegant-looking
douillettes. We may also mention that les caprites are en-
tirely with grebe or ermine.
Fashionable colours are now mostly of a sombre hue, as
well as those shot silks which produce all the colours of the
rainbow ; glace silks are gradually disappearing, and giving
place to plain colours : they are greatly preferred by our
most distinguished elegantes. The only material which allows
of a mixture of colours being the Pekin damas, which has
a broad black stripe, upon a ground of maroon, blue and
green; sometimes, indeed, the ground is of a lighter colour,
such as pink or sky-blne, the stripe being then of white
pekinee.

MELANCHOL Y SUICIDE.
(From the Jersey Times, Oct. 28.)
It is our melancholy duty to-day to record one of the most
distressing occurrences which it has ever been our lot to
bring under public observation. Miss Emily Bond, a young
lady of considerable personal attractions, residing in St.
Mark's-terrace, died on Saturday by her own hand, under
circumstances of a peculiarly painful nature. A tale of
mystery seems darkly to enshroud this melancholy affair,
over which, perhaps it were as well to draw a veil. It were
needless for us on the present occasion to disclose every cir-
cumstance connected with the doleful act which has hap-
pened to fall under our knowledge; it is sufficient for us
at the present moment to aver that, from some cause or
other, having either a proximate or remote connection
with what in common parlance is designated " love," the
young lady in question had for some considerable pe-
riod been labouring under a state of mind bordering
upon insanity. The unhappy woman seems to have gone
through the act with the must cool and deliberate preme-
ditation. On the morning of the day on which she perished,
she spoke to the landlady of the house in which she resided
in her usual manner, not betraying auy symptoms of excite-
ment beyond those generally incident in her character. She
was last seen alive about twelve o'clock in the forenoon, .at
which period she retired to her bed-room, with the inten-
tion of again speedily coming down stairs for the purpose
of making the usual preparations for dinner. Two hours
passed away and still the unfortunate lady did no'
make her appearance; and the clock had already struc
two, when it was considered necessary to arouse
from the slumber into which it was supposed she
have fa:len. No answer being returned to the repeate
knocks by the servant at the door of her chain
ber, a dread was inspired in the minds not only of the
landlady of the house and ber husband, but also of the young
lady's father, that something unusual must have happened.
To break open the door was now the only alternative left to
put an end to their suspense, end the old gentleman at this
juncture is said to have expressed himself to the effect that
he was prepared for the worst which might happen, thereby
implying the general uncertainty connected with the state of
mind of his daughter. An entrance having been thus effected,
the fears previously conceived now stood before them in dread
reality, for, horrid to relate, the first object which caught the
eye was the lifeless body of the unfortunate woman, suspended
by the neck from the iron rod which stretches between the
lower posts of the bedstead. Medical assistance being promptly
called, no means which could be resorted to were able to re-
store animation, death having taken place at least two hours
previously.
We have proceeded thus far in our account of this melan-
choly affair, and we can anticipate the observations which we
imagine will be uttered in regard to ourselves. It has been
stated that the tragical occurrence which has just taken place,
was attributable to an article published in this paper on Friday
last; and if the allegation be correct, we beg thus publicly to
express our most sincere sorrow and commiseration. The ob-
servations therein implied were grounded upon information
with respect to the truth of which no doubt could be enter-
tained. Here was a young woman plunged in the most pro-
found depths of that peculiar feeling which is said sometimes
to attach universally to the human character. She had seen
an individual for whom she had cherished a warm affection •
letters, according to her own account, were said to have passed
between the parties and the gentleman broadly hinted at in
her statement of the affair was stated to have professed to
wards her a warmth of love almost equal to her own. She
said that she had received letters from him, that at the
hour of night, when no human eye beheld and no human ear
heard, the lady and her sweetheart met together; that cir-
cumstances happened which it were needless that we should
here detail, but which if true must ever cause the memory of
the deed to rankle in the breast of him who was its perpetra-
tor. The day on which the last and final interview took place
the mind of the unhappy woman became agitated to an ex-
treme degree. Her former calm and innocent behaviour was
now converted into frequent and incoherent reprehensions of
him whom she alleged was her deceiver. She offered up a
fervent wish to God that her brother was on the spot, and that
to him she might confide the terrible burden which pressed
upon her heart. The information was conveyed to the in-
dividual who now pens these lines, and the article was
written, not that it should affect the heart or feelings of the
unhappy woman, but that it might either strike to the core
the individual whose future peace of mind was so terribly
at stake, or cause him to come forward and vindicate his in-
nocence. Thus far and no farther will we at present pro-
ceed in this our melancholy duty. If there be a feeling
which can ever soothe our own mind in our future career, it
will be the consciousness that we have injured no one wil-
fully, or sent a fellow mortal unprepared before her maker.
We court the strictest and most 'earthing inquiry, and it will
be mere mockery of legal investigation, if none should be
given. It will only be sufficient for us in addition to state
that the unhappy woman had been previously confined
in a mad-house as a lunatic, and is said on a former occasion
shave attempted the crime of self-destruction.

STATE OF TRADE.
MAsrCHESTER, Nov. I.—lf any alteration must be noticed
in our staple market, it is that more business has been done
generally where parties would give way in price; and we
learn that yarns have receded in value id. per lb. Our
cloth market may be said also to have a downward tendency,
and power-loom printers are full 3d. per piece lower from the
highest point. Domestic cloth is equally flat, unless the
manufacturers will give way in price, which many have been
forced to do to effect sales. November is the month that
merchants and printers commence operations for the spring,
and many make contracts for two or three months ; stocks
being unusually light we do not anticipate any very
material change in prices. The country houses are, as usual
at this season, very flat, but still better than they were last
week. 27-inch 60's, 4s. 40. to 4s. 74d. ; 66's, 4s. 100. to
55. 3d. ; and 72's, ss. 9d. to 6s. lid. 40-inches are still
scarce, and 60's are selling from Bs. 9d. to 9s. 3d.; 66'e,
9s. 74d. to 10s.
LEEns, Nov. I.—Our markets at the cloth halls have been
dull both on Saturday and Tuesday; the latter in particular
was one of the dullest of the year. The stocks on hand are
low for the season, and as the manufacturers are producing
less than for some time past, there is little probability of
heavy stocks of winter goods being left over the sec
Prices are without any alteration. There has been rather leas
done in the warehouses this week than of late; on thk, whole,
however, there is about the same amount of business doing as
is usual at this late period of the year.
BRADFORD, Ocr. 30.—Transactions in wool are not exten-
sive, and the difficulty of purchasing from the grower is in
nowise lessened. The gradual every day's consumption has
diminished stocks in this market, which are not so abundant
as a few weeks ago, except in low wools, a description that
is not at present much inquired for. We continue to receive
most discouraging accounts of the condition of the yarn trade,
which is described both by anonymous correspondents as well
as by the parties who supply us with regular information,
as being worse than was ever before the case in the remem-
brance of the oldest houses in the trade. The disposition to
run short time is becoming general, and we are sorry to see
large numbers of operatives in the streets out of employ.
The piece trade partakes likewise of the general flatness ; but
as manufacturers prudently abstain from increasing the stock
of goods, prices remain stationary, and it is hoped will con-

tinue to do so.
HUDDERSFIELD, OCT. 28.—We have been unable to give
so favourable an account of the state of this market during
the past month as at any previous time since the commence-
ment of the year. Although there is a tolerably steady de-
mand both for the home trade and for exportation, there ap-
pears to be less confidence of its stability than has hitherto
existed amongst commercial men. The month has not
closed with a market equal to an average of its first three
weeks. •
liauFax, Nov. I.—The market, in all itsbranchee, is dull,
especially as regards wool, several kinds of which are a shade
lower.
LEEDS WOOL TRADE, OCT. 31.--English—This has
been a quiet week as to sales of wool. There is not any
alteration in the quotations of prices. Foreign—The trans-
actions of the past week have been mainly to supply the im-
mediate wants of the manufacturers, and not very extensive
in amount. Prices, however, remain steady.

We have often called attention to the inroads the
Ben is making on our coast, which, in time, threaten to prove
very serious. We have heard of the probability of the whole
Isle of Sheppy being swept away in a few cycles. Within
the last month two large portions of the field containing the
old footway in the district of Studhill, at Swalecliffe, have
fallen to the beach below. The old farm.house called Hamp-
ton-hill, it is generally known, has been entirely destroyed ;
and the sea is still making rapid advances at that point.—
Canterbury Journal.

ADIEU TO THE STAGE COACH.—We have seen the
last of those elegant conveyances, the London coaches, upon
which Cambridge used to look with pride. Last Saturday
the Beehive ran its last stage : therumscontest againstwere all-potent

np
steam was found to be useless, and h

after a short struggle of a few months. We are glad to re-
cord that the victor has been at least merciful, for Wilkins,
the civil driver of the Beehive, has been provided for by a
berth upon the rail, by the kindness and consideration of
Mr. Geo. Fisher, the resident Director.--Cambridge Chronicle.
WITMOUTH.—Large quantities of herrings art
now being caught here and on. the neighbouring coasts. Cod
fish are beFinning to pay us a visit from the north, as usual
at this period, and if the weather continues moderate, large
quantities may be anticipated.—Somerset Costnty Gazette.
In Queen Elizabeth's reign a proclamation was
issued, whereby all parsons, vicars, and curates were enjoined
to " teach and declare unto the people, that they might, with
safe and quiet consciences (after the common prayer), in time
of harvest, labour upon the holy and festival days, and save
the things which God had sent them : for if, by any ground-
less leescra
se of conscience, they should abstain from work-
ing o days, that they should grievously offend and
displease God if the grain were thereby lost or damaged."

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.
ItiDLEIGH, Nov. I.—A deliberate and frightful cue of
suicide was committed in this town on Thursday last under
very peculiar circumstances. The unfortunate individual,
named John Jaynes, was proprietor of a boarding-school of
the first repute, and until within this last week he was highly
respected for learning and moral character. However, in
the course of the last week, two of the pupils, sons of Mr. J.
Growse, surgeon, made some representations to their parent,
as induced that gentleman to prefer a charge against 4ynea
of a horrible character, in consequence of which a warrant
was issued for his apprehension. The officer took him into
custody on Wednesday, but be was allowed to remain at his
own house until the charge should be investigated before the
magistrates, the wretched man declaring that it was a esa.
spiracy got up against him. Though closely watched, and
deprived, as it was supposed of every oflanswe weapon, he
by some means possessed himself of a pistol, with wh!oh he
shot himself through the head, at an early hour on Thnrs-
saw morning. The ball had lodged in the head, and
death was instantaneous. The distress of his bereaved
wife, who believed him incapable of the horrible offence he
was charged with, admits of no description. She is said to
be an amiable and accomplished lady, and is most respectably
connected in Gloucestershire, where Jaynes formerly resided.
Information of the tragical occurrence was immediately
forwarded to Mr. H. Wayman, the Coroner, before whom an
inquest was yesterday held at the Swan Inn.
William Palmer-1 am one of the constables of this town.
I know the deceased John Jaynes; he lived in Benton-street,
where he kept an academy for young gentlemen. A war-
rant was delivered to me to execute against the deceased,
who was charged with an indecent assault upon a young gen-
tleman, one of the pupils. I apprehended the deceased on
Wednesday, the 29th, and at his earnest solicitation I agreed
that he should remain at his own house, in my custody, until
he went before the magistrates to meet the charge. He
seemed very grateful for the indulgence. I sat with him in
the parlour on Wednesday, might. Between one and two
o'clock on Thursday morning he asked me to allow him to
go to the privy, to which I agreed, but told him he must not
go out of my reach. To that he made no objection. We
crossed the yard, and the deseased entered the privy, leaving
the door partially open. In returning to the house he said,
"Itis a fine clear night, but very cold." I thought he spoke
in a tremulous voice. There was some loose wood lying
about the yard, to which the deceased called my attention.
The next moment I heard the report of a pistol, and the de-
ceased dropped at the threshold of the door, his body striking
me In the fall. I immediately gave the alarm. Mr. Rayn-
ham, a friend of the deceased, and a man named Brown, my
assistant, cams out of the house. The deceased was ying
on the ground, and we perceived blood flowing from a wound
in the right side of the head. I icked up a pistol, which
was close to the body. He showedp no signs of life.
The CORONER—I understand you to say that you took the
deceased into custody upon a charge of indecently assaulting
one of the pupils. had you any conversation with him in
reference to that charge? Witness—l told him with what
he was charged, but I did not think it my duty to question
him upon such a painful subject. He did not seem disposed
to speak about it. I think he said that it was got up by
some parties to ruin him. It appeared to distress him much.
The CORONER—Did you search his person to see if he had
any means of self-destruction? Witness—Yes, Sir, three
times. I found some money, a pencil, and a penknife in his
pockets the knife I took away.
The CORONER—Did he appear much alarmed when you
told him what he was charged with ? Witness—Yes, very
much. He went into strong hysterics, and I searched his
pockets while in that state.
The CoaoNEß—Did you suffer him to go out of your pre-
sence at all? Witness—s Only in one instance. He wished
to see some professional gentleman previous to his examina-
tion. On the Wednesday Mr. Seeley, managing clerk to
Messrs. Offord and Robinson, called. As I considered the
interview to be confidential I waited outside the room door.
I think Mr. Seeley was with him half an hour. When I was
called into the room, Mr. Seeley said, " I am told, Mr.Jaynes,
that you have a loaded pistol." The deceased replied, " Yes,
I have—what of that?" 'Upon which Mr. Seeley said, "Let
me persuade you to give it up to Palmer—you ought to give
it up at once." The deceased then said he bad not got it.
Mr. Seeley then went away.
The CORONER—Did you question him at any time after
about the pistol?
Witness—Yes. When he asked to be allowed to go to the
water-closet, I then said he should not go unless he gave up
the pistol. He said it was in his bed-room, and that he
would give it to me. We went up-stairs. Mrs. Jaynes was
in bed. Deceased went into the room, and I stood at the
opeu door. Mrs. Jaynes said, " What are vou looking for,
dear ?" Deceased said, "For that pistol." Sirs. Jaynes said,
" What can you want with a pistol ?" He replied, "I do not
want it; I am going to give it to Palmer, who says he must
have it." Mrs. Jaynes then told him he would find it in a
cupboard in another room. I went with him. He took a
pistol off the shelf, and I seized his hand. I now produce that
pistol ; it was not loaded. We then came down, and pro-
ceeded into the yard, as I have already stated.
The CoRoNER—Can you form any opinion where the de-
ceased got the pistol with which he shot himself?
Witness—l cannot. He certainly could not have had it '
about him. My impression is that it was concealed in the
privy. I have since found that there is a box there long
enough to hold a pistol.
Mr. John Growse, surgeon, was the next witness examined
—I was called in to see the deceased soon after the fatal oc-
currence. The body was then lying on the kitchen floor.
Life was wholly extinct. > I found a wound on the right aide
of the head. The temple bone was fractured. The orifice
was circular, and had evidently been made by a pistol-ball,
which had taken a horizontal direction, and lodged in the
head. I could trace the passage of the bullet with my finger
quite into the head. Death must have been instantaneous.
The CoRoNER—I understand, Sir, that you are enabled to
give the jury some further information relative to this cala-
mitous occurrence.
Mr. Growse proceeded—The deceased came to this town
about seven years ago, and opened a boarding-school. I un-
derstood from himself that he had previously resided at
Gloucester. I thought him a man of considerable attainments
and of moral character. He got a great number of respectable
pupils. I placed two of my own sons under his care ; they
boarded at the school. In consequence of reports which had
reached me, I sent for my eldest boy on Monday last, and,
from the information given me by the lad, I thought it my
duty to obtain a warrant against the deceased, upon which
he was apprehended. There was no investigation at which
the deceased was present, but some of the pupils were ex-
amined by two magistrates, the Rev. Mr. Knox and Mr.
Hughes. That was a preliminary proceeding. In con-
sequence of what I heard I called upon the deceased,
accompanied by Mr. Rand and Mr. Claydon, to ask
for an explanation. In the presence of these gentlemen I
told the deceased that he was charged with immoral treat-
ment of his pupils, three of whom I named. I particularised
the charge as detailed by one of the boys. The deceased
said, " I am not guilty to that extent.' I told him the
parties were prepared to substantiate the statements, and
asked him if I should call them. He then said, " Gentle-
men, do with me as you please. lam a ruined man. What
reparation can I make you?" We said, "It is insulting to
talk about reparation in a case of this nature." He then
asked what we proposed to do with him ? We replied that
we had not quite decided. I laid an information against
him on Wednesday. Whilst in custody he wrote a letter to
me denying the charge, and asserting that it originated in
a conspiracy to ruin him. That letter was written, I un
derstand, shortly before he went into the yard with the
constable.
Mr. James Rayt ham examifted—l had been a pupil of
the deceased fur three years, and have since assisted as tutor
for about the same time. I never suspected the deceased of
improper conduct towards the pupils until this charge was
preferred. When Mr. Growse went away Mrs. Jaynes
begged of me to look after her husband. I followed him-
into
the town, and at our rettn n home he took me into the Latin
room, and said, " Oh, Raynham, I have been cruelly
treated. I have two favours to beg of you. Do not see my
family robbed ; do what you can for them, for I shall be out
of this world in a few hours." He was greatly dejected.
He then drew a pistol from his pocket, and threatened to
shoot himself, but I prevented him. He became more calm,
and went to bed. I sat up the whole of that night for fear
the deceased should injure himself. Ido not know where he
put the pistol.
Mr. H. Cocksedge, gunmaker, proved that the deceased
purchased the pistol at his shop on Tuesdsy. He asked wit-
ness to load it with ball, as he wanted to tire at a mark in his
garden. There was at that time no report abroad of any
charge against the deceased.
The CORONER, in summing up the evidence, observed that
the charge, whether true or false, had evidently preyed upon
the deceased's mind, and that he had reasoned upon the con-
sequences.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of
Felmde-se.

IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF GOLBORNE AND D0R139?

The creditors on the separate estate of Dobbs, which will
pay 205., prayed his Honour would not allow the 2,000/.,
which Mr. Obins, surety to that amount on the joint estate,
wishes to prove against the separate estate of Dobbs.

His Honour toil time to consider.
Further arguments were heard in the case of " Parry t
➢Taddox," and judgment deferred.

GALTOIT V. SAM!.

This was a bill filed for performance of contract. It
appeared that both parties wishing to purchase the same
estate, it was contracted between them that Galton in
case he should not bid for the estate in question, should have
the power to purchase two particular farms at an averaged
price. But Nash dying, it was found he bad devised
these farms without notice of the contract in ques-
tion. The Master of the Rolls found the title of
Galton to the farms to be good, but during
the inquiry, it turned up that there is a yearly rent-charge
on one of the farms which Mr. Galton refuses to, notice.
.

Mr. Russell, Q.C., and Mr. Parry, appeared for the plain.
tiff; Mr. Gildard and others for defendants. _

His Hoxou refused the compensation claimed by de-
fendants, considering that the purchase money mentioned in
the contracts supposed an unencumbered estate.—Costs were
allowed to the plaintiff.
