Sudden death.

--Major Richard S. Jones, formerly a citizen of Hampton, died very suddenly, at the boarding-house of Mrs. Eddins, on Governor street, Thursday evening. An inquest was hold yesterday, by acting Coroner Sanxay, which resulted in a verdict that death was caused by "apoplexy, produced by irritation of the nerves of the spinal marrow, communicating with the brain." Major Jones, we understand, has been an officer of the Wise Legion.
