SUICIDE OF VISCOUNT FORTH.  We have to record the suicide of Viscount Forth, which oceurred at Gloucester on the Bth inst. The late Viscount was the only son of the Earl of Perth, and was born at Naples in Vat. As will be remembered, his name figured conspicuously in a divine° case, in which some and revelations were disclosed by the N iscountess Forth in her exaniination before Sir Creswell Cromwell. The deceased nobleman came to Gloucester in July lust, and took up his abode at the Spa Hotel, under the name of Captain Drummond. He wan accompanied by a lady about his own age who passed as Mrs Drummond. On the 10th ult. the lady gave birth to a female child, but afterwards became very ill, and was attended by Dry Evans out Greaves. Their skill, however, proved of no avail, for she expired at 5 o'clock on the morning of the Bth inst. The deceased noblemen wax with her at the time of her death, wan very much grieved, and wept bitterly. Soon afterwards he commenced drinking brandy, and apparel like a madman. In this distracted state lie continued for several hours, after which he commenced packing his own and the decenned lnily's clothes, and in doing so he took a small roll of paper up, saying —" This belongs to me." He then left that room (in which wore the nurse and landlady), and proceeded to another opposite, followed by the nurse, whose suepicions were excited by his conduct. He asked what was the matter, at the same time putting a bottle to his mouth. The nurse exclaimed-•" Good Gul. he's got hold of the laudanum bottle !" The landlady seized the bottle and succeeded in wresting it from him, but not until he had drunk nearly half. He said -" It's only a little port-wine," and descended to the sitting-room. A doctor was sent for and soon arrrivod ; he found his lordship walking up and down in the room, and WHP just in time to pievent hint from cutting him throat with a knife. The deceased nobleman continued to Walk up and down the room, until at last be exclaimed —" Oh ! how funny I feel," and became insensible. The stomach pump was used, but without success; it was found Mi. possible to restore him.

SUICIDE AT SEA. A melancholy case of self-destruction occurred while ti. steamer was on her passage from Belfast to Glasgow a fr.. since. A young man, apparently about twenty yew, o' dressed in the garb of a labourer, and whose accent was that native of the north of Ireland, was a passenger on board occasion, and during the night had been observed to b'spirits, conversing freely with his fellow-passengers in the age. He had offered to make, bet with the mate of the Gordon—a vessel at present discharging guano from luf a, Belfast—as to the probability of rain falling within tw-• four hours—a proposition which the sagacious mate der, but treated the young man on doing no to a glass of wi. the only spirits he had from the time he crossed the gaurs, at which time, however, he was thought to have been 50;.,,i intoxicated. The mate alluded to went to sleep, as did umber of the other steerage passengers. When the steam,. I reached the Frith of Clyde' and lying ber course between 'l*". Castle and the seat of Mr. Wallace of Kelly, the young rna, denly emerged from the steerage companion, mounted on of the carpenter's berth, " forward" of the starboard nadd:a_t and, without a moment's hesitation, leaped overboard, ar.d. coarse, was instantaneously killed by the paddles in their re, tion. An alarm was given upon the moment; but the young man was never seen to rise to the surface. No per., board was acquainted with the name or address of the but perhaps the following details of his dress, Sic., may lead recognition by some of his relatives :—He wore a moleskin , and trousers, and a moleskin waistcoat with sleeves, and His height was about five feet eight and a-half or nine inch, be was a email young man for his years. His accent was r • that of county Derry than of the county Armagh or Down.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.  suseserie ttufwEit.  • A circurnstanee, which harrreated a very painful sem. tuition in the county of Aberdeen, has jiisi happened in the parish of St. Fergus, abont thirty milesnortit, of the ',city of Aberdeen, and within a short distance of.the village of Peterhead. The particulars, no far as they have transpired, are these :—On the evening of Monday, the 21st ult., a man, in the prime of life; named Donald holding a gibed farm in the parish stated above, left his home to proceed on some business to the blacksmith's shop, situated at some little distance., As lie did not return the same night his friends naturally becamealarmed *bout him, and, on asearch being instituted next mornIng,he was found lying dead in a field between his Own hotise and the blacksmith's shop, with a discharged pistol by his side, by a ballet from which, it was etident, he had come he his death. The pistol having been identified SS one which belonged to 'Nt'Dottild. himself, it was, as smatter cif course, at first conjectured that he had conimittedsuicide ; though what could beveled -him to take such a step was (piton mystery, as be was a remarkably quiet, inoffensive man, and, in his hunible station, mush respected. Not the least idea would ,seesi to ham been entertained that a murder had been committed, uptl) tiein gs of the event reached Peterh earl, when tuç :igen t the Northern Insurance ciimpany there—in whicli-offica WDonald's life had been in'sured for £.500e/tio lid to suspect from the circumstance -that the insurance hlid not been effected by firDontild himself, but by another person, a physician, residing in St. Fergus, that there had been some foul play.in the matter. This suspicion was very much strengthened, when ,it was ascertained that the life of the unfortunate was was insured by the sarnepersan,M a second office for 400, and is a third— the Daledoman—for £1,1?00; and, &ether, that the'terie Insured for In OH latter office was poly one, year, and that the period of the policy would expire in the course of a few dayti froid the preset date, and consequently, if M'Donald survived the twelve months, the prettlittin paid on the £l,OOO would be lost money: Moreover, the parties who discovered the dead man began to eapreas SS opinion that, from the position in which the body was and the way that the shot had taken effect, if was Meet to impossible that the pistol could have ham arad by „M'Poneld Wingert. Agting on these rontOnnh and perticularly on the fact that here ens a poor nine's life speculated upon, and insured I'M no less than £2,000, by I person who could lmve no interest 'foil:l6l'qt so from relationship, the autheritle. thought It theirduty tic proceed against a Dr. Smith (the party referred to), and the moult is that thirr,entleman lies in the jail of Peterhead on the charge of having been concerned in the death of the deceased. Should the evidence beef a nature tolead to a trial, it will doubtless cause much interest amongst the -gentlemen of the bar, as, so far as we are aware, no similar ease ever occurred in Scotch jurisprudence.
