ELY. JULY B.—The bodies of the five unhappf
Sufferers for the late- riots (whose execution we
have already noticed) were committed to the care
of the chief constable, who, at the express wisk
of their relations, provided a house to deposit
them in, where they were decently and respect-
fully laid in their coffins, attended by four con-
stables, until the funeral took place ou Saturday"
evening, wben they were carried to church in the
following order :—A company of singers from
Littleport walked before, singing the 104th Psalm
through the street to church ; next the chief con..
stable and Mr. Barlow, keeper of the prison, wide
their staves of office, covered with black,
.and
themselves also dressed in black ; then followed
the corpse of Beamiss, being the elder.; next his,
relations ; the other four were carried two.
abreast, with their respective relations following
each'corpse. From the great concourse of spec..
tators, it was .thought necessary to have the ato
tendanee of several constables. The bodies were -
all deposited in one giave,. by the side of each
other, in the church-yard of Ely St. Mary's.
• SUICIDE.—A dreadful act of suicide was colfl4
mitted about nine o'clock on Tuesday morning by
Mr. Botillan, House-Steward to his Excellency
the Russian Ambassador. The unfortunate mmi,
retired to his apartment, where he putan end to
his existence by blowing oNat his brains with a•
double-barrelled pistol. The report brought some
of the domestics to his room, where they found
him in a state too shocking to be'described.
Hayes, a neighbouring, surgeon, was sent for,
but he could render no assistance, the balls hav-
ing passed completely through his skull. He ex-
pired in about half an hour afterwards. No cause
can be assigned for his committing this dreadful,
act. Mr. Boullan was a Gentleman of the most
cheerful disposition, much respected by his Ex•
cellency, and esteemed by the domestics and
neighbours.
ADJOURNED INQUEST.--Yesterday a Jury had
been .again impannelled at the Red Lion, in l'ort.r'
