SUICIDE OF TWO LOVERS. On Saturday, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Edinburgh Castle, Regent's Canal, Mile-end Old town, on the body of John Warren, jun., aged twenty, a young man of respectable connexions, residing in the neighbourhood, mho committed self-destruction by drowning himself in the Regent's Canal. The melancholy catastrophe created mere than ordinary interest and sympathy, owing to the circumstance of the sweetheart of the deceased, a young woman of considerable personal attractions, named Caroline Beale, aged eighteen, having only a few days previously committed a similar act of self- destruction near to the spot where the body of the deceased was found. The deceased and the young female, Caroline Beale, agreed to drink tea on Sunday week last, with an acquaintance of the 3,ung woman, named Amelia Bane, living in Rhodewellroad, Limehouse, where the deceased went, according to his appointment. Caroline Beale did not arrive till some time after, when, on seeing deceased, she remarked to him, that she knew he had taken tea with Amelia, and that if he preferred her, she would have nothing to do with him. She was in a very excited state and left the house, but was induced to turn back a part of the way with deceased. She, however, again ran away. and was seen no more alive. The deceased returned to the other female, and said he had no doubt Caroline would come back when she became more collected. tier body was found in the canal about nine o'clock the same night. The deceased, on hearing of the melancholy suicide of his sweetheart, was inconsolable, and on seeing the body he clasped it in his arms, and exclaimed that he wished he had followed her, so as to have prevented her self-destruction. From that time he fell into a state of despondency, and daily visited the corpse of the unfortunate female. The previous night (Friday) he called at her mother's to see it, being in company with Amelia Bane and a young man named Frederick Cook, who was directed not to leave him. Deceased afterwards called at a publichouse, where he said he had to meet a person. Cook and Beal were in the parlour. when the former fell asleep. Deceased OA the opportunity to leave, and went, it is supposed, to the Regent's Canal, as shortly after his hat and coat were found upon the same stone on which the shawl and bonnet of Caroline Beale were -placed, by the same policeman, who instantly obtaining the drags got the body out. Mr. Willi! urgeon, attended, who tried to restore animation, but withoueffect. Verdict—" Found drowned."  "Railway Legislation Committee, 1, Royal Bankbuildings, Liverpool, March 27,_1846. " Sir—l am requested to inform you that a special committee has been formed out of the general committee of the Liverpool Stock Exchange, upon the subject of railway legislation ; and this committee is anxious to co-operate with all parties interested in the various railway schemes now before Parlivnent. " That this committee are strongly of opinion that one of the chief causes of the present depressed state of the money market, and the unusual depreciation of every desaiption of property, is mainly attributable to the fears entertained as to the results of the linee at present projected, as well as to the large amount of calls now making on the Acts of last  session. They are also of opinion, if the Bills now before Parliament be largely restricted, or altogether postponed, great relief would at once be felt throngh:ut the country, and that the calls on the proprietors of existing companies would be promptly met, and thus enable them to pursue their works with vigour. "That, even if success attend the present applications to the Legislature, it must be evident that the greatest ditliculties will be experienced by the companies in obtaining their
