EXTRAORD NARY SUICIDE NEAR CEFN.  On Monday last a labourer, named David Thomas, living at Hest, was found lying dead near his house, and a scarf attached to a tree with one end round his neck showed that he had met his death by strangulation. Mr. Howell Cuthbertson held an inquest on the body on Wednesday last, at the Star Inn, Cefn Cribbwr, before a jug, of which Mr. Rees Rees acted as foreman. William Williams, the first witness called, said he was a neighbour of deceased, and on Sunday evening last he saw Thomas in a field in front of his house. Witness talked with him some time, and in the course of conversation deceased said he was going to the house of Thomas Jenkins, who lived at Court Colman Fach. Witness said they were all gone from home, and Thomas then expressed his intention of going to the house of Thomas Hopkins, who lived near his own residence. Witness observed nothing strange about deceased. Margaret Thomas said she was the daughter of deceased. He went out of the house about five o'clock on Sunday evening. He did not return, and witness, going down to the field on Monday morning, saw him lying on his stomach in front of a tree. One end of a scarf was round his neck and the other end was tied to a branch of the tree. He was dead. She did not see anything the matter when he left the house on Sunday even g. The next witness was the wife of the unfortunate man, Margaret Thema. She deposed that he had been ill for some time, but had Worked two or three days last week, and bad lately received a fortnight's sick pay from his club. The coroner questioned this witness very minutely, with a view to ascertaining any' cause which might have prompted him to commit the shocking deed, but he failed to elicit anything. She had had no quarrel witli him, arninothing of an unusual character had ocarred. The jury, having heihrd the evidence, brought in a verdict of felo-de-le, and the etroter issued the eutificate of burial customary flsuch cases.  .as At eeeTIOSS

LONDOIC.—EarIy on Monday morning a destructive fire broke out at the French Restaurant, Villiers street, Strand, by which one life was lost.. The fire was discovered by a passing cabman, and the alarm having been given engines and escapes were promptly in attendance.

I A loan co itted suicide on Sunday in one of the police cells attached to the new Court House, Stranraer.

They then :lodged him in the police office. The man was visited at eleven o'clock, and replied to the constable. At two o'clock the conAtable again called at his cell, and recalving no answer entered, and found him suspended 'to the wall of the cell quite dead.

DEP., Sir Wilfrid Lawmen, M.P., Lsdy Anna Gore Langton, Lady Bowring, Kiss Becker, Mrs. Ashworth, and other ladies, waited aria the Chancellor of the gxcheq tier on Tuesday, to request his support of the Women's Suffrage Bill. Mr. Forsyth introduced the deputation, and said that as Sir Stafford Northeote had given his vote es a previous occasion in support of the measure, be thought that • statement of the views of the Government either by the Chancellor of the Facbequer or by some ether member of the Government at the present time would give the measure great moral support. Lady Anna Gore Langton, Mrs.. Ashworth, and Kiss Becker having spoken, Sir Stafford Northeote, in reply, said that the matter was one which required more consideration, and could not be treated in the easy way which three who adv.sated the measure seemed to imagine. If he admitted that women had a right to claim a vote on the ground that • woman had as much right to vote sa • man, he did not see how he could tamer claims which would be surely put forward that the inhabitants of a particular district or • small town had as good a right to vote sa the householders in Bath or Birmingham. The question revised itself, in his mind, into one of time, of expsdiescy, and epportunity, and he was bound to say that he did not think the present a particularly desirable time for reopening the great electoral question. If he found himself unable to vote for the bill, it would be en that ground. If the bill were to pas', and women were to be admitted to the franchise, he believed that larger ebonies would be rendered necessary In the electoral system than he, for ass, was at present prepared to assent to. Lady Nertheote and Miss Northcote were present In the room.  A verdict of manslaughter was returned by . a coroner's jury, on Mondoy, against Ellen Ready, for haying caused the death of her sister, at Peckham, by striking her with a paraffin lamp. Three men were thrown Into the Thames on Saturday, at Hammersmith, by the capsizing of a boat. Two swam ashore.
