MELANCHOLY DEATH.
The melancholy and unexpected; death has just been announced of a gentleman well known in fashionable society—Mr H. Baldock of Grosvenor-place, who formerly represented Shrewsbury in the House of Commons. Mr Baldock a few weeks ago 'went to Kensington Palace Gardens to inspect the residence of Alexander Collie, which was then open to the public previous- to* its being put up for sale. Among other luxurious additions to one of the apartments was a conservatbry, filled with superb exotics. Mr Baldock advancing to the door -to examine -them more closely, walked straight through a large sheet of plate-glass which filled the aperture, and of- which, there being nothing to denote its existence, Mr Baldock was of cbiirsp unaware. The illfated gentleman severely lacerated one of his legs just above the kijee, and though the arteries escaped, it would seem the nerves and tendons were injured to an alarming extent. The best medical skill was speedily called in, but erysipelas set in, which, could not be reduced, and Mr Baldock died on August 15th.
