SUICIDE OF MR. S. BUTLER.—OD Saturday evening an inquest was held at the Cathedral Hotel, St. Paul'schurchyard, before Mr. William Payne, City coroner, on view of the body of Mr. Samuel Butler, aged twenty-three, the son of Mr. Butler, chemist, St. Paul's-churchyard, who poisoned himself with prussic acid. Mr. John Harding said that about eleven o'clock that morning he was informed that the deceased, who was in his room, had been called, and that no admission could be obtained. Witness went to the room, and while he was there his father came up. The door was forced open, upon which the deceased was found lying on his bed, with a phial grasped in his hand. Was not aware of anything that was likely to disturb his mind. Mr. Thomas Butler, deceased's father, said that his unfortunate son had formed a strong attachment to a young lady, to whom he had proposed that he should be married. Deceased came to witness, a few days ago, who was at Brighton, to get his consent, when he advised a delay for a short time. On Monday last, he (deceased) saw the father of the young lady, and stated to him what had been his (witness's) propositions, to which the father of the young lady expressed himself agreeable. He wrote to the young lady, wishing her to see him that evening. Deceased received her answer on Friday, but which has been torn into very minute parts. That letter contained no syllable of an unpleasant nature. Witness is of opinion that the thought of the delay may have produced a temporary excitement. Deceased was of a placid disposition. Witness thought he was rather too young, andthe lady father much under his years.

LAMENTABLE SIIICIDE.—On Wednesday a long inquiry took place before William Carter, Esq , the Coroner, at the George Tavern, Kent-street, Dover-road, respecting the death of Mr. Benjamin Charles Minors, aged thirty-five years, lately residing at 239, Kent-street, who commuted suicide under the following circumstances :—James Allen stated that he was an apprentice to the deceased, who carried on an extensive brush manufactory. The deceased had been some time past in a state of despondency arising from his business having failed through another shop opening in the same street, which had taken away the chief portion of his trade. On Saturday morning last several persons called for money, which seemed to weigh heavily on his mind, as he was unable to pay them. Deceased continued on the premises, and whilst witness was passing through the )ard from the factory, he saw his master hanging to the banistem adjoining the bedroom. Witness opened the win • dow and cut the deceased down. He appeared quite dead and cold, and had fastened himself up by his silk pockethandkerchief. An alarm was raised and x surgeon sent for, but all efforts to restore animation were unavailing. The deceased had often referred to the shop at the end of the street, and said, "06, James, that new shop will ruin me." He would frequently leave the business and get L:toxicated to allay his feelings, which seemed much excited when called upon fur money by his creditors. He was certainly in great difficulties in his pecuniary affairs, and he had a bill come due on Saturday which he was unable to meet. his mind had Nen impaired for some weeks in consequence of the great depression in trade. Other evidence of a coi firmatory character having been adduced, the coroner briefly addressed the jury, who ultimately agreed to a verdict of "'Temporary Insanity." The Bishop of London visited the establishment of Baths and Wash-houses fpr the Poor of the North-west District of the Metropolis, situatein George street, Eustomsquare, on Thursday last, and was pleased to express his high approval of the general arrangements of that excellent institution, of which his Lordship is patron. The Moniteur contains a long report to the King, followed by a Royal Ordonnance, occupying together four columns, on the subject of a change in the uniform of the National Guard. The National Guards are to substitute the tunic, or round frock, for the coat hitherto worn, alai in other respects make their dress in conformity with the infantry of th,.. line.

SUICIDE OF CAPT. M'LEOD, OF THE GREAT LIVERPOOL STEAMER.  SCOMMAIITTOX, FRIDAY MORNING, SEVEN O'CLOCIL— The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Queen, Captain Russell, arrived this morning at four o'clock, from the Peninsula, bringing the usual mails. Her dates of departure are as follows :—Gibraltar, 10th March ; Cadiz, 11th ; Lisbon, 13th ; Oporto, 14th ; Vigo, 15th ; orunna, 16th. The Queen brings a full cargo of dates, oranges, specie, eggs, &c. The schooner Brand, for Liverpool, with corn, struck on Oporto Bar coming out ; she apparently sustained no damage, and proceeded on her voyage. The Queen experienced very strong S.W. gales outwards, and a succession of northerly gales homewards, or she would have performed the voyage two days so.mer. The Queen brings home about 90 persons, passengers, including the crew and passengers of the Great Liverpool. They are in a very distressed condition for -want of clothing and many.other necessaries. It is with extreme regret that I announce the death of Captain M'Leod, the late commander of the Great Liverpool, who died by his own hand immediately after the last of the passengers had departed for Corunna. He had been in a most desponding state of mind ever since the unfortunate occurrence, and it is supposed could not bear up against misfortune. The melancholy event has left a gloom over  the whole town. He was, a man unilwsally beloved and respected. He has left a large young family, with propects of an early increase. _ _  There is nothing further saved from the wreck of the Great Liverpool. The ship is entirely gone to pieces, and what valuables floated ashore were principally purloined by the rascally natives. The Queen brings hone her mails. I have personally inspected them; but as they are in boxes it is impo.sible for a casual .observer to state what damage they have received. I regret to add, that Lieutenant Williamson, the Admiralty agent of the Great Liverpool, lies dangerous•y ill at Corunna ;so much so, that his life is despaired of. He was totally unable to come to England in the Queen. Too much praise cannot be given to Captain Russell for his kind, humane, and pulite attention in every respect to Ms unfortunate passengers. Most of their friends were waiting at the various hotels in the town to receive them, and it may be readily imagined the greetings were of a most cordial character.  Ltsisox,
