SUICIDE OF A DEB'T'OR.--A case of awfully premeditated suicide occurred last week at Boston. It appears that the embarrassed man, Mr. William Bowsher, had for a length of time struggled with adverse circumstances, and seeing destitution frowning upon himself, his wife, and five &dren, his mind at length gave wad and rather than be sent to jail, he took a sufficient quantity of laudanum to cause his death. The personal anecdotes and disclosures of the secret springs of the most remarkable events, social and political, for the last half century, contained in Sir William \Vraxall's " Posthumous Memoirs of his Own Time," now just published, confer on the work a rare and lasting interest. Sir William's Recollections include sketches of the personages who figured in the Court of George 111. during its latter period, and in that of the Regent—of the principal Statesmen of the time, and of the fashionable wits and beauties, whose " sayings and doings" are recorded in the liveliest vein. In speaking of the persecution whielr -Sir William's former Memoirs drew upon him, Sir George Osborn, who held a place in George the Third's family, as one of the grooms of his bedchamber, nearly forty years, thus expresses himself in a letter to the author :—" I have your first edition here, and have perused it again with much attention. I pledge my name that I personally know nine parts out of ten of your anecdotes to be perfectly correct.• You are imprisoned for giving to future ages a perfect picture of our time, and as interesting as Clarendon." The scene of Mrs. Gore's new novel, announced under the title of " Female Domination," is fixed in Yorkshire; and the society of that aristocratic county is said to have been laid under contribution, to furnish some of the most piquant sk etches that have yet _appeared from the pen of this favourite authoress. f life,itatai imaginative thereby i s apt see ttoo conducts e e ils his himself lifei e litheef his is good life, and make himself what he conceives toe be interest•sintorAsyuch a manner as to make a good story. of it rather than a ing, rather than what will begenerally acknowldged to be useful and convenient.—The Statesman.
