PENSION COMMITTEE.—Reports are prevalent that some extraordinary circumstances have been elicited from an inquiry into a pension which has been received for some years by a Magisterial Baronet residing at Brighton. When the titled re. cipient was called to explain the consideration for which the pen. sion, 3001. a-year was granted, he is represented to have stated, that a letter came under his notice, written by an individual at Brighton, which the writer intended to publish, charging the Prince Regent with most unprineely propensities ; that he caused the individual in question to be apprehended, when a pistol and certain indications of his design to' do the Prince some bodily harm were found in his room. The man was taken Into custody, and being found of insane mind, was disposed of; and that it was for his loyal vigilance and Ministerial activity upon the occasion, that the Prince Regent conferred upon him this mark of Royal munificence. We stop not to inquire whether the party in question did mere than his dirty as a magistrate and a good citizen required of him, without looking to or any other reward than the enviable delight of having best of Sovereigns from the maniac stroke; nor to say more present, than that the tendency of the inquiry suggests the pop:titeat it will be fortunate if nothing more arises than the loss of In these times, when the march of Intellect has progressed to such an extent that, in imitation of the French, every one must have his newspaper or his magazine, the announcement of a new must t:aliaciL:ce'leelsidP,tet)its pension.— Weekly True Sun. and cheap periodical is likely to create a considerable sensation ; especially when we observe that " Sherwood's Monthly Miscellany," to which we allude, is to contain as much Letter press for Eighteen pence as the old-established rnagszines at Half-a-Crown.

K-, a watchmaker, of the Rue Fustemberg, was discovered the day before yesterday to have committed suicide in the most deliberate manner. Not having been seen for several days, an alarm was excited, the commissary of police sent for, and the door of his apartment forced open. He was found lying on the floor of his dining. room, his head supported by his arm in a pool of blood, and in an advanced state of putrefaction. A train of blood led to his bedroom, where xatggitecit he himself34nl tt o o thetls fe was found a table with a chair placed on it to support a lookino glass. Between the table and the bed was a basin filled with blood, and on' the table was a razor, with which he had cut his throat.
