SADLEIR, M.P.  Although until the mature of the evidence as to the motive which induced Mr. Sadleir to commit suicide be known nothing positive can be stated, yet there seems to be an impression that the deceased had disordered his mind by over-speculation. That the deceased committed suicide the medical post mortars examination performed yesterday and other facts which have comae to light distinctly prove. It seems that the deceased was at his club up till half-past 10 on Saturday night, at which hour he returned to his residence, 11, Gloueestme square. At the club his friends observed nothing strange in his manner, and when he arrived home he seemed in his usual calm state of mind. He then ordered coifee, and, as he required nothing further, the servants, as was usual with them at that hour, retired to rest, leaving their master up drinking his coffee. Whether he ' but the latter went out immediately after taking the coffee, or remained in until early the following morning, and then isstrtohlleedpruepsotmo presumption, although gniox aotntehce same nsmaye time it is certain that he did not go to bed that night, as kis bed was found undisturbed the following (Sunday) morning, and aoswelfahohretmi.ns etpdhlaeoarditsioaerhrtedivseahnnai tstbassrhegylooi cutderunotps iue werets they , hteh sof oulliancde uncertain, omnasatec account uanbtmatortnhiengservants eswtieoroe, notfor they considered he might have made an appointment late the previous night. He was in the habit of staying at Hampstead, at Jack Straw's Tavern, and his lifeless body was found only a few yards from that inn. It has been erroneously stated that the deceased's remain, were discovered by the police, but they were found by a man named Bates, a donkey driver, who at half-past eight on Sunday morning was proceeding in search of a strayed animal, when he carne upon the corpse as it lay at about 150 yards from Jack Straw's Castle, on the west side of the heath, and close to a small footpath which leads down from the flagstaff at the top of the hill. Bates immediately hurried to the police-station. Inspector Green (S division) and other members of the force at once proceeded to the spots, and all there found the deceased lying as if asleep on a m mound, which he bad evidently expressly plck •d out for the occasion, and a silver cup, together with a largesized bottle, marked with several labels, Poison," by his side. Life had been extinct some time, although the body was then warm. Inspector Green had the body removed to the workhouse, and, upon examining tl slip of , deceased's pockets he found a small on which was written in a clear bold ,Land, "John Sadleir, 11, Gloueester-squar , Hyde Park. There was also some money, in gold and notes, in the deceased's pockets, as also a case containing two razors and several lumps of loaf sugar, which the deceased no doubt intended to take with the poison. Inspector Green, through the slip of paper alluded to, was at once enabled to send to town and have the deceased identified, the writing on the paper being recognised as his own, go that the poor wan must have prepared it with the express intention of itg being the means of leading to his identification. The silver cup was immediately recognised as the deceased's own property through its bearing his crest. The bottle which had contained the poison, and which would hold at least half a pint, was not only labelled in several places with the word "poison," but the leather covering over the stopper had the same word written thrice across it in large letters. The deceased was a bachelor, and the melancholy event was in the course of yesterday telegraphed to his only relative, a brother Neiding in Ireland.  tract the "Iliad " and " Paradise Lost," and the " 2Eneid" and the " Jerusalem Delivered" into mere grains of dust, into something very little short of absolute nothingness. We accept Mr. Bailey himself m the Coming Alan—actually Come at last. And having acknowledged all this, and eaten dirt (as the Orientals have it) Without a wry face, and swallowed everything most submissively—do, for goodness sake, let us hope that Mr. Bailey's admirers will at last let us enjoy in peace and quietness the Fool's Paradise with which they have provided us 1
