Hie friends then placed him under surveillance, and it was observed that he was affected with strange delasbes, he on one occasion observing while a volunteer band was passing that they were going to dram him out of the army. He was evenWally removed to Dr. Sothern's private asylum, in Margsxet-street, where, after two months' coulinement, he wee found hinging from his bedstead by a person employed on the establishment. Robert Proctor, who stated he was superintendent of Dr. Sothern's private asylum, deposed that he found the deceased hanging from his bedstead, a white cambrie handkerchief being tied round his neck. He had died before his position bad been observed. The deceased was in the habit of saying that he had done wrong, and that he was not liked by his friends. Mr. Charles Wing, brotherin-law of deceased, stated that the allegation made by the doomed in referees° to his friends was made under a delusion. Witness and some other friends played cards with him the night previous to his death, and they observed nothing unusual in his manner. He was always affected with low spirits, and seemed to have a suicidal disposition. The jury found that the deceased had committed suicide while in an unsound state of mind.—last evening, Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, resumed at the Butlers Army, Butlerodreet.

Ellen Manning, a little girl, 11 years of age, said that at nine o'clock on the morning in question, her mother, who was ill in bed, told her to fetch her father's neon out of the other room. Witness refused at first, but upon her mother threatening her, she brought them.

The unfortunate woman died in 20 minutes. The jury returned a verdict of suicide while of unsound mind from the delirium of fever.  [Advertteement.]—HouzwaT's Plus are the most gentle yet most effective aperients, and therefore better oslculated for a family medicine than any other drug. They always set the stomach right, rouse the liver, stimulate the kidneys, and thoroughly cleanse the whole system. Holloway's Pills are most useful in chronic weakness of the stomach, inclosed by luxurious living, sedentary habits, or other causes. They have restored the emaciates to health after every other means bad failed. While they are purifying they are strengthening, while regulating they are increasing nervous and muscular power. These Pills do not excite any violent action in the body ; hence they are specially suited to the young and feeble, whose constitutions may be irretrievably injured by more powerJul medicines.
