MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF AN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN AT ANTWERP.  TO Tls KONOIL 01 WI ISMS& Sts,—We have just read in your paper of this day a paragraph heeded " Mysterious Death," in which the circumstances attending the death of a gentlemits at Antwerp, of the same of Headley, whilst travelling with • colossi in the Turkish army of the name of Rift Allah Bey, are detailed. As the lathlike. of the By we should feel obliged by your inserting the following particulars monected with this affair. On Moseley morning last we reoeived a letter from a gentleman at Antwerp Worming us that the Bey had been arrested is oosseunesee of Mr. Headley, with whom he was travelling, having been found in bed shot through the head. Immediately thereupon • member of oar firm storied for Antwerp. and we have Jest masivd an intimUm from him that the Bey, after having beeen, through a stupid blunder, detained for four days in prison, has been released, with many apologies. The facia of the cam are these :—The Bey was staying with his nephew, Mr. Headley, who was a young man in delicate health, at as hotel at.Aslwerp. Mr. Hadley was in • somewhat deeposding state of mind, and the Bey was travelling about with him, in order to restore him to better health. We have Doi yet had thip full pertionlars ocanected with the unhappy suicide, but it seems that the Bey, together with three servants of the hotel, entered the room where Mr. Headley was lying dead. Whether they were attracted by the noise of the gun or not, we do not yet know. It is certain, however, that they all entered the room together; and that they entered, not by the ordinary door, which Mr. Headley had locked, bat by another door, which was opined by the servants. There they fouled Mr. Headley dead. A letter was also found written by him stating that he had committed the deed himself. It is quite clear that the Bey never entered the room until Mr. Headley was dead, and then only with three servants of the hotel. Notwithstanding this, sod the *beard improbability, we may say impossibility, of his having had anything to do with the affair, he was arrested by the police sod put in prison for four days, and not allowed to communicate either with hie legal advisers or any witnesses. Theo it seems that the police found out that they lad made • stuoid blunder, sad bed arrested the beet sad kindest friend of the unfortunate man, and they released the Bey with many apologies—a very poor reparation, we venture to think, for their reckless stupidity. We trust in justice to our client you will insert this explanation as early as possible.—We are, tea, KIM BEE and
