RPOOL ELECTION COMMTTEE.--SUICIDE OF ONE OF THE WITNESSES.—On Wednesday information was conveyed to the Surrey Coroner, that one of the witnesses summoned before the committee respecting the Liverpool election, had destroyed his life. It appears that two of the electors, one named Thomas, Parkinson, the other, Joseph Parkinson, took lodgings, for the time they were engaged to attend the committee.. in Brunswick-street. On Tuesday morning ThomasParkinson proceeded to the water-closet, in the yard, where he managed to pass a black silk handkerchief through a hole in the door, and then suspended himself to the same. Ile was quickly discovered, but instead of the inmates of the house at once cutting him down, they sent to the police station for assistance. A constable attended and cut him down. Mr. Bolton, surgeon, opened the jugular vein in the arm, but only a few drops of blood flowed. There is no doubt that if the deceased had been cut down when he was first discovered, his life would have been saved.

Their screams brought assistance, and several persons rushed down stairs andi rescued them, and having extinguished the flames about-their apparel, they were found to be so fearfully injured that they were at once removed to Westminster Hospital.
