DELIBERATE SUICIDE BY DROWNING. - On Sunday forenoon, between ten and eleven o'clock, a man was observed at the water's edge of Ringsend Basin, at Grand Canal quay, in the act of divesting himself of the upper portion of his wearing apparel. This did not attract very much notice, the locality being somewhat out of the way and unfrequented. Presently, however, he was seen to place himself in a half-sitting attitude on the brink of the basin and gradually slide into the water. Before some young men who were in the vicinity could reach the spot he had disappeared. The basin was at once dragged, and after an hour's exertions the body was discovered. Edward O'LOGHLIN, of 53 Townsend-street, recognized it as that of his brother, John O'LOUGHLIN, of No. 1, Shaw's Cottages, aged thirty-four years. No cause has been assigned for the rash act. The body was removed to the Morgue, where an inquest was held on it on Monday, the jury returning a verdict to the effect that the deceased committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity. KILLED ON THE RAILWAY. On Friday morning when some of the men engaged in the ballast pit at Loughbrown, near Newbridge, and convenient to the branch line which leads to the Curragh Grand Stand, were proceeding to their work, they discovered the dead body of Private Robert WALSH, 75th Regiment, lying beside the rails, with his head severed from the body. Information was quickly conveyed to the stationmaster at Newbridge, who at once put himself in communication with the constabulary, and also with the military authorities at the Curragh. No opinion can be formed, pending the inquest, as to whether his death was accidental or otherwise. The railway authorities are making all possible inquiries, but up to the present it is not known by what train the deceased met his death, but it has been ascertained that it must have been by an up-train to Dublin. DEATH OF COUNTY-INSPECTOR FAWCETT. Armagh, Friday. I deeply regret that I have to announce the death, at the age of sixty-four, of one of the most esteemed gentlemen that we have had amongst us. Robert FAWCETT, Esq., County Inspector of Armagh, has passed away. In private life he was a genial, hospitable, kind, and sincere friend, while in public life he was the perfection of a good officer. He has left after him seven sons; six followed their father's corpse to the grave, the seventh is in Australia. At half-past nine o'clock precisely this morning, - the hour appointed for the funeral - on the coffin being put in the hearse, at his late residence, the Folly Lodge, Armagh, the cortege moved slowly down the carriageway, and proceeded through the city to the railway terminus. Along the line of route the shops were, out of respect to his memory, closed. After the hearse walked his six sons, and after them one hundred rank and file of the Royal Irish, four deep, followed by detachments of the 89th and the 94th Regiments, at present lying here. Immediately after these came the staff of the Armagh Light Infantry. The intimate friends of the late captain assembled in large numbers, and followed, walking two by two, and very many of the citizens accompanied the mournful cortege. Following the mourning coach and the deceased's own private carriage were those of the following: - His Grace the Lord Primate, Colonel SIMPSON, Mr. Robert BOYD, J.P.; Mrs. COOTE, Mr. Robert M'CRUM, Rev. Mr. MORGAN, &c. Arrived at the train, the coffin was placed in a carriage by four of the deceased's most trusty and oldest sergeants, when they, with the sub-inspectors and the immediate relatives, left very shortly for Enniskillen, the native place of the Fawcett family. The deceased was highly respected in the county, and his death is universally regretted. Messrs. FRIZELLE, of Armagh, had charge of the funeral arrangements. - Cor. Of Belfast News-Letter. DEPORTATION OF IRISH PAUPERS. A Jersey correspondent writes that the authorities in that island have a rough-and-ready way of getting rid of any parochial burdens, actual or prospective, when the unfortunate creature who has the ill-luck to fall into a destitute condition happens to be in the language of country, un etranger. The term is of rather wide application, inasmsuch as it includes not only "foreigners" in the usual meaning of the term, but even natives of Great Britain - all in fact not born in Jersey. Nor does the exception hold good in every instance. According to the dictum of the Crown officers of the island, "the child follows the fortune of the father," so that a child born of English or Irish parents on Jersey soil is not entitled to the benefit of the national privileges. A couple of cases have just been brought to public notice. One of them was that of Mary KENNEDY, an Irishwoman, who had been sent to prison thirty-five times by the police magistrate for drunkenness and disturbing the peace, and was sent at last by him before the Royal Court for heavier punishment than he was able to give her. Her husband, who is a few years her senior, has been for some time an inmate of the workhouse, being unable to labour, and a child ten years old is also in that establishment. The husband and child were brought to the bar in company with Mary Kennedy and in reply to his examiners Kennedy stated that he was a native of Wexford, and had been in Jersey thirty-six years, his wife having been there twenty-four years. The Court decided to get rid of the two, and ease the ratepayers of any further trouble on their account, by ordering their "removal to their place of settlement." As this proceeding, however, would cost the ratepayers a considerable sum of money, the "removal" really means simply transporting them to Southampton, and casting them adrift penniless to find their way to Wexford if they can. The chances of reaching that remote locality are very small, and it is very unlikely that they attempt. The probability is that in a short time they will be bundled back to Jersey as their proper place of settlement, to be again flung across the Channel on the chance of finding a settlement somewhere.
