RIGA, DEC. 29. —Three Months, 38%. Elitism's, Dec, 11.— Three maths. 8. 19 )2.  CORONER'S INQuEst.-Late on Saturday night an inquest was held at the King's Arms Tavern, Holbornhill, before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, on v:.•,,v of the body of Mr. Ezra Hodgkins, aged 59, formerly an opulent innkeeper and coach-master, who committed suicide . under circumstances of a most afflicting nature. Thomas Showle, porter to Mr: Parker, proprietor of the King's Arms, proved discovering the deceased about 11 o'clock on Friday morning suspended by a rope to a horse rack in one of the stables in the yard of the inn ; he immediately cut him down. Mr. Parker, the proprietor of the inn, said he had known the deceased a great number of years ; he was formerly an innkeeper and coachmaster in wealthy circumstances, but of late years had been so far reduced as to be compelled to drive coaches and do whatever jobs he could obtain. The change in his circumstances was mainly attributable to the long coaches being taken off the roads in consequence of the railways ; he was a sober, respectable rr an. Mr. George Butcher, of the Bell, Holborn-hill, said he had known the deceased for a length of time ; saw him last on Friday morning, he had been so unfortunate as not to be cwaible,abuhte thatdt witness that he had got a badge to drive a able to take home daily sufficient money to his employer, who in consequence dismissed him ; he was very dejected at the time and wept bitterly. The Jury after commenting upon the melancholy nature of the case, reburned a verdict ,of " Temporary mental derangement."

MOST APPALLING SUICIDE.--On the evening of Sunday last, a catastrophe of the above description took place at Alkrington Colliery, near Middleton, by which a mother and the e children have been plunged inof to great distress, and feelings of a large number friends and acquaintancs of the deceased have man, been strongly excited. A little after sev o'clock,had long a named James Guest, 42 years of aen ge, who been employed by Mr. Livesey, as bookkeeper, at the above works, rushed out of his cottage near one of the pits, and threw himself headlong down a shaft about 150 yards in depth. He had latterly become very low in spirits, in consequence of having to leave the employ of Mr. Livesey, who is about giving up the works. He was a man of steady habits, and of good character, Ind had succeeded in obtaining another situation; but, after trial, he was not satisfied with it, and came home to Alkrington. On Sunday be was unusually distressed, and told his wife he was ill all over, both in his head and his limbs. She missed him from the door, and saw him rush past the window towards the coal-pit, and she followed, calling "James, James," "stop, stop." Ho was heard to say, Whisht," and almost instantly disappeared down the pit, to which she approached near enough to hear his crashing against the horse-trees and guiding rods, as he fell. " Oh God r she cried, " that's him," and stood paralyzed unable to go on or return. A man who heard her cry came up, and learning what had taken place, he went round to the colliers' houses near at hand, and a sufficient number of men was soon mustered to undertake an examination of the shaft. They proceeded to wind up the baskets, which were about midway in the pit, and the first bucket which ascended brought viitb it what was sufficient to convince such of them 8!, doubted of the reality of the man's fate; and ether viscera were in the tub, and there was the son for supposing that the body had thehngtubupbecarne tub, as, on their beginning to wind up! _all rig his barneacif i down the leached, and something heavy was beard I Men were next remainder of the depth to tae beotnto iemn. gled body of pcor let down, and they sent upe b in uet will be held tc-mormost shocking wanner.

FRENCH STEAM-BOAT.---An Englishman, who had never before seen Frenchmen, and their mode of doing things, would have deemed that the boat was on the point of blowing us all into the air, or at least that every soul on board was some very near and dear relation of every !coal on the quay, and that we were all bound for New South Wales. The captain, standinz, on the paddle-box, had, from his air and gesticulation, every appearance of being in the agonies of frenzied despair, caused, as I presently perceived, by the tardy movements of a little boy, who was lugging down the quay a huge basket of hot rolls for our breakfast. Clang, clang, jang, jang, went the bell nnintermittingly ; the steam hissed phizzed, and roared by turns ; and the crowds, both on the quay and on board, evidently labouring under the influence of the most. exciting emotions, were chattering, hallooing, swearing, and gesticulating with an intensity of purpose quite astounding. At last, after a vehement contest between the captain and a peasant who insisted on bringing a great hog on board with him, in which dispute most of the by-standers took part, the rope which held us to the bank was thrown off, and away we phizzed down the river.— Trollope's Summer in Western France.
