About a week ago she left her home, iu Scotland, to meet witness, who had returned from an 18 months' voyage abroad, and she and her three children took lodgings at '2, Circus, Minories. When witness met her she complained of being ill. On Saturday last witness reproved her for being so extravagant while he was at sea. Witness said to her, " What have you done with the money I left at home ?" She remained silent and burst out crying. She said that she bad put some of the money in a Scotch bank, and then she said that she bad put none of it in. Witness was about to return to Scotland, and she knew that he would find out all about the money, and that fact preyed upon her mind. She said to witness afterwards, " You will find out all by-andbye." On Monday afternoon witness returned home and found her dying from the effects of poison. Dr. \V. Cook, Tower-hill, said that he was called in to see the deceased on Monday. Iler face was pale and livid, and she was suffering from the effects of poison by laudanum. She had taken three drachms.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1866.  The second reading of the Jamaica Government Bill in the House of Lords on Tuesday gave rise to a short discussion, which will be found instructive and interesting to peruse. Earl GREY'S remarks in particular were very apposite, and the noble lord gave a very good account of the chief events which have affected the constitution of Jamaica. The Legislative Assembly has been much in fault, and, indeed, Lord GREY goes so far as to say that the measure to which he gives the most hearty support, and which he regards as the single wise political measure that ever emanated from the Jamaica Legislature, " was the act by which they committed political suicide." The noble lord, it is known, . wn, Is well qualified to give an opinion On the subject, because he has had great experience in Buell matters, and, as he himself said, "for five years he had the painful and laborious task of maintaining, both in the house and in the official correspondence with the colonies, the policy gt,aepdol thatiey of giving free trade to the co • loules•, ' As he remarks, however, events have shown that h of the Government of that day was ht n the adoption of this principle has been of service to the colonies ; the contrast between Jamaica and the other sugar-producing colonies showing that it was not the " abolition of protection and slavery that was the cause of the misfortunes of the former." Earl GREY takes rather too favourable a view of the negro character, and we are certainly surprised that he should call them a " people of great industry." We entirely agree, however, with the noble lord's assertion, that all depends upon the manner in which the powers of this bill are exercised by the Government; and we trust that they will prove themselves fully aware and deeply sensible of the responsibility which rests upon them. It was true and sound advice which the noble lord gave when he urged the necessity of sending out men of talent and energy to administer the affairs of Jamaica.  Lord LOI'iGEORD'S speech wAS not yery c9roPli'
