r SWCIDE or liAnca THE NICHDERFII.--:nif above unfortunate wretch terminated his existence nn Friday morning, at half past cibht ie.:lock, by nearly severing lis head from his body ! Although this wretched cul prit, while be lvos under examination at Bow-street, assumed an air of negligence, and hoped that he should have more fortitude thaa to b...coute his own' etecutioner ; yet it was pretty evident to those who watched his conduct, that it partook of a character conveying powerful sneicion. While in the custody of Harry Adkins he was Luidenifed and ironed, and two persons were continually kept to watch over hint ; and v. hen Smith the ptoler of Bow-street, delivered him into the custody o' the keeper of Newgste, he inti mated that 1e ought to w etched with considerable eau- Won. Fri,!a• morning, wthen he was:called out with f ie other prisoners who were to be tried, front the yard, he ran to the privy, and shortly afterwards he was found with his throat cut from ear to cur, and his lived nearly severed from his body.' The place, as might be suspected, was a complete gore of blood. Near to him was timnd a crooked razor, and not far trom it a document written Liraself, in which it was st,ited, that the razor, wilt which he had perpetrated the hortid deed was the same with which he murdered Minting, anti that Le Lad secreted it about him ever since, aith.mL:i it wry be recollected that he t )I.lAlkins ulam Iu s;qyrc!o:nsim, that he had thrown Vie instrument, mitt-, Witi,:h he emnthitted it, it,to the Thames. The paper also stuted, that he intended to have murdered Nlary Minting with a pistol—that it was his intention first to have shot her, and nest him self. The body was removed into the yard, and the circumstance occasioned the greatest alarm and con sternation. The Court was excessively crowded at an early hour, particularly by ladies. On the arrival of the - Jukes, at ten o'clock, the feller of Mary Minting wended the witness box, and addressed their Lordships as follows :—‘‘ Nly Lord, William Haitch bus cut' his throat in the nelson, and as I am a very imor man, I 'hope your lordship will allow toe my expenses." Mr. Baron Graham.—" Your opolication is made at an im proper time ; we will consider it by and bye." The officers who scorched him tray, it was impossible that he could have had a tat= about him. MELANcnoLy OtrURRI:NCE.—.-A very melancholy event took place on Friday week, in the workshop of Mr. R. Morris, painter of - Chester. The greatest part o:' the men employed by Mr. Morris, had assembled, we understand, in one room, fbr the purpose of cele brating the enfranchisement from a state of apprenti ship of one of the young men. After they had ks'n re galing themselves some time, two of them of the names of Undol and USherwood) lgod in a variety of an tics, in the course of which thy ',veronica a . flucket of water; and a large tin can, which was tilled with spirit •of turpentine, in which they rolled each other Uudol; then, without •the slightest intention of injuring „his . friAid and fellow-workinan, applied a piece of lighted paps Usherwood's pantaloons. ;rite effect of this act was awful in the extreme ; in an insouit the young man was enveloped in a body afire. His companions i at nediately resorted to a variety of expedients to ex t. aguish the flame, but without effect. Ilia wearin - g aiiparel, in a few minutes, with the exception of one garter, and a part of one of -his stockitya, was burnt to a..es. IBS body was dreadfully scorched and presented 1 . . - ightfill spectacle. Ile was carried ;tithe infirmary; a short time after the fatal event took place, where he , lingered in the most excruciating agony u n til aboutsix ti chick mi Saturday evening, when death relieved him from all his sufferings. An inquest was held on tl,te buds' . nudity last.—Verdict Aceidentui death. Nt w .CoatFT...—The French papers say a new c o m e t • was discovered at Marseilles on the .?filla of January last, in the censtellation Cygnus.
