SUICIDE.  Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, one of the Gn suds, named Davis, who was on duty in St. Jamesos Park, between the Horse Guards and the buck of the Admiralty, was observed by a person who passed by, to pull off one of his gaiters and shoe, and attempt to put the muzzle of his musket in his mouth, but, being a short nun, he could nut reach it ; he then stepped into his but, which was about sic inches from the groans', and put the butt of the musket on the ground, the muzzle in his mouth, and contrived to fire it, by putting bis toe on the trigger; .he ball passed through his head, which WAS literally blown to pieces, except a little of the back part. It is supposed he hid doubly cli.lt the musket, as v... cartridges and balls were no tram his po.tcl. No cause can be assigned fur this rash aM. A short time before he went upon duty, he was in company with several of his aomrad:s, and appeared in very high spirits. He was a very steady man, and much respeaed in the regiment.  Yesterday morning a girl about sixteen years of age, servant to Mr. Ectior, Cook, in Red-Lionstreet, Whitcchapel, hanged her self upon the post of the bed, where she usually slept. Being Irequendy called for, and not answering, the dour was forced open, when she was found lifeless—Disap. pointment in love is yposed to have been the cause. The body remains at the house for the Coronet's Inquest. Wednesday, at twelve o'clock, as Roarer RECIC• VI'S was digging a grave of great depth, in the Church-yard of St. Mary, Newington Butts, Surry, one of the sides gave way (from wain of caution in not using the frame provided on purpose to hi Id up the ground), and with a head-stone jammed him so close under the mould, that several people were nearly an hour in digging up the body, although it was in an uptight posture. Messrs. SAIMAatY and Dixon, Surgeons, were ready at the grave, and ashen the body was recovered, Mr. Dittos attended it to the late dwelhng-house of the deceased, and tried every means to procure respiration; but the sp.trk of lite was gone. A widow and five children, one of whom is deaf and dumb, are, by this sudden accident, reduced to extreme poverty, and have also tr. mourn the death of an affeßionate husband, aad tender parent; whilst all his employers have sincerely to lament the loss of a civil, obliging, and tudastrious set rant.  , 77,79717"." • . . • • • .• . ,

COBURG—she was married at Carlton House—her town residence was Carni-Iford House—the late owner of which, Lord CAMELFORD, was untimely killed in a duel —her country residence was Claremont—not long ago the property of Lord Ct.tv e, who terminated Ills own existence. She died in childbed, and the name of her accoucheur was CROFT, who committed suicide.  The principle of the alteration in the Assessed Taxes we understand to be this—that by paying a composition of 5 per cent. in addition to their present Assessed Taxes for houses mid windows, and of 10 per cent. for horses ■nd carriages, persons may increase their existing establishment to any amount ; but they may not add fresh articles : fur example, a man by paying in per cent. upon Isis present stud of horsey, suppose three, may, if he likes, odd other three to the numbers ; but not keeping any carriage, he may not now set up one for the compositioie. The new Loan forms a striking instance of the obligation which Ministers owe to the superior talent and intelligence of the Opposition. Mr. GeesFELL first called the attention of Pailiarnent to the expediency of applyiug the Sitiking Food to the Loan of the year, in the way in which Mini. stirs have now applied it, in the year 1514. in a speech which is now in print. He his urged this measure, but urged it in coin, upon every new Louis since 1814 ; and in the present Session, about three wicks ago. submitted a distinct motion on this suluject to lire House of Commons, which Ministers opposed and defeated. They have, however, thought proi,er to adopt the plan su repeatedly pressed upon them by Mr. CastaLLL—thus furnishing an additional and satisfactory itroof of what perseverance in a good cause will effect, and that truth and correct principles, however opposed, will gradually make their way, and ultimately e►tablish themselves.  ,ma 4"
