THE STORY OF A SUICIDR.-The London

inquest was held yesterday at Fermoy Bar.
aCks upon the body of Hon. Mr.. BeIlew son Of
Lord Beilew. The deceased was found dead in
has q :arters on Tuesday morning, with bullet
wound in his forehead. He had Just Joined the

Fermoy. He was addicted TO drinking. on
Monday night, while in state of inebriation
be made his appearance in the room of CAPTAIN
Butler, Of the 18th regiment, with sword in one
land and revolver in the other. The latter
weapon he presented at the head of his brother
ihCer, whom, under the threat that he would
shoot him. he compelled to accompany the de-
ceased 10 his own quarters. When they had
arrived there the Captain was obliged 70 retire
after few minutes, under similar compulsion.
Immediately theTeupon a shot was heard from
the direction OF Bellows room. The alarm was
given to the officers who were still in the bil
lard room, but they took no notice. According
TO the evidence, ii appeared that none OF them
entered the room until the following morning al
seven O'Clock, after the servant of the deceased
had found his master lying on the floor in a pool
OF blood, quite dead. The jury, while returning
a verdict Of death by suicide, expressed them-
selves strongly upon this fact"

TIE AUSTRIAN PoLAR ExPEDITToN-4nof6-
-F DIScOcerg.-The scientific world will receive
With peculiar qualification the intelligence not
IDly of The safety OF the members OF the Aus-
Tisn Polar expedition, sent out some two years
ago, but that the expedition has added another
Taluable contribution to the map OF the Arctic
seas. at or near the eighty.third degree north
latitude, the highest point reached by the ex-
petition, and north Of Nova Zembla, a tract Of
land was discovered which may prove 70 be,
rom further explorations, a large Island or one
Of an extensive group Of islands, like Ia At az
the head OF Bafin's Bay. Ii so, then we may
have the fact established that the only possible
practicable route for sailing vessel or steamer 20
he North Pole is the route OF the Pacific
Equatorial current through Bshring Strait
The full report OF this returning Austrian ex-
petition will, no doubt, largely contribute to the
settle ment OF this important question. Captain
Hall has shown that the difficulties Of reaching
he North Pole, against the strong outdowing
and ice-paCked Current of Bafiin's Bay and
Davis Suaitxre perhaps insurmountable; and
Low, il the route from Norway be proved I'M

TIE JERSEY CITY ScANDAL-Tds Crime
Lad at AHOiheT'S DOOr.-The Rev John ). Glen
denning went from his home III Summit avenue,
Jersey City Heights, yesterday to New York. IL
Is believed that he still fears personal violence
from his neighhOrs. His friends are busy collect
ing evidence, and are cOrfdeut OF presenting
testimony before the Presbytery next month
that will not alone scguit the pastor but startIe
the community. They profess TO have informa-
ton which couples poor Mary PomerOy with her
cousin, who formerly lived with Mrs. Miller on
Van Reypen avenue. This story is discretited
by this cousins friends, who say that il ia only
another dodge of Giendennng's Friends to save
the minister. The scandal is not without it eff
feet on Prospect Avenue Church. The roll is
rapidly diminishing, and many of the most ind u
entail members have siguitied their intention of
withdrawing. The lady superintendent of the
Sunday school, who lives in Van ReyDen ave-
nue., has already rendered Ter resignation. A
gentleman connected with the church said tn At
lie beIieved the church authorities were inclined
to Iid themselves OF Gendenning, but could not
act summarily without Indirectly sustaining the
charges against him, and at once damaging the
reputation OF the church. The Hon. Charles FL.
Winfield, counsel for Giendenning, said to a
Sun reporter yesterday that he should personal
ly see that all the persons composing the indig-
nation meeting held at Nc PheEson's Hall are in
dicted. He was confident that every man could
be convicted Of conspiracy and sent to stata
prison. The counsel was silent on the question
of libel suits, and it is believed that the inten-
uon, If any existed, has died out.-N. r. Sua Q.

he Is In debt to the tune of ESQ 600, or FL 900

THBYKLLow FEvER CASES IN THE SoUTH.-
Despite the kilograms to the contrary from ports
Of the Atlantic seaboard, and more particularly
from the south, IL cannot be denied that yellow
lever exists in every city mentioned in The
STAR a day or two ago. The southern people
would prefer that a dozen kuklux outrsges
should be laid at I'll cir doors, rather than casss
Of yellow fever should be reported among them,
and for the very good reason that publicity OF
such fact tends 10 interrupt business and stop
commerce. This morning we receive tele-
graphic advlces that no cases of yellow fever
exist in New Orleans, whereas the fact is (and
the Treasury department has been officially
advised of it) that in the best populated district
Of that city, (the third,) yellow fever has made
lts appeaI ance in isolated csses. In Mobile and
Pensacola several cases have been reported
While it is conceded that the health OF the
southern Atlantic cities was probably never
better than it now is, yet the stubborn fac, that
deaths have resulted from yellow fever is
matter of record, and too we'll proved to admit
OF dispute. yellow Jack" usually first makes

somew hat estate and uuproftable." The same
suggestion is worth the consideration OF the
manssers of the county fairs. or late years
these exhibitions have been strung out two and
sometimes three days. It would be very much
better to condne them TO one day-better for
