Up to the 15th of September, 1199 vessels had arrived at Cronstadt ; sailed, 1,002. On the 15th of August, there arrived at Troisk from Bucharea a caravan of 951 camels, laden with cotton-yarn, shawls, furs, &c. From this, it appears, that while the Russians prosecute the war with vigour, they are not un mindful of commercial pursuits. A Lisbon mail has been received to the 20th of September, when the Vigilant sailed. The Papers do not contain any news of importance, but it was known at Lisbon thatthe young Queen of PORTUGAL had sailed for the Brazils, which partly relieved the anxiety of the Usurper MIGUEL. The official part of the Gazette contains a notice from the Conde de S. LOURENEZ, stating that his MAJESTY, considering the fidelity of the officers and privates, who were killed and taken prisoners in the performance of their duty at the landing on the Island of Terceira, on the 11th August, has been pleased to determine that the families of the killed shall enjoy the be nefit of the decree of the 24th of June last year, and the families of the prisoners shall receive their pay according to their respective ranks. The following is a new version given of the causes which contributed to the failure of the expe dition against Terceira :—" DON MIGUEL con fided to Admiral ROSA the entire command and direction of the expedition, and the command of the troops to Colonel LEMOS ; but Admiral PREGO was previously appointed Governor of the Island of Terceira. This appointment caused a great jealousy between the two other chiefs, so that when the expedition had assem bled at St. Michael's, and was ready to sail for its destination, great differences prevailed between LEmos and ItosA, in which Admiral PREGO was implicated, thus causing a great misunder standing between the three Chiefs. PREGo, who was very friendly with ROSTA, Minister of the Marine, communicated to Don MIGUEL, through the above Minister, the misunder standing that prevailed. ROSA and LEmos also made their; complaints to the Minister of the Marine, who did not communicate them to Don MIGUEL, but immediately appointed by a decree, PREGO Captain-General of the Azores• The consequence was, that the squadron and expedition remained under the orders of Admiral PREGO, who changed the plans of ROSA and LEMOS, which occasioned confusion and dis order on board the squadron. In the mean time Count ROSTA sent orders to Admiral PREGO to reconcile himself with Admiral ROSA, which PREGO submitted to, but LEMOS was obliged to leave the Admiral's ship, when he protested against all the changes made by PREGO in the plans of attack, and sent them to Lisbon. The result was, that the failure of the expedition is entirely attributed to the dissentions of the three Chiefs ; and when the landing was made at Ter- ceira several companies of different corps re fused to go on board the boats. In a late audience given by Don MiGuEr, at his Palace of Bemposta, it was remarked that he appeared _ _ much dejected ; and some of the officers and soldiers of the expedition were interrogated by him." Neither the Duke of NEWCASTLE nor Mr. SADLER were present at the meeting held at Newark on Monday, a full report of which will be found in our Paper of this day. His Grace wrote a very aristocratic epistle to the Com mittee, for an excellent commentary on which we point attention to an article from the Morn ing Chronicle, under the usual head. THE . FiJi4DS.-('IIIIS DAY.) Y, TWEE'S 0' CLOCr. This being one of the most solemn holidays of the Hebrews during the whole of the year, called the White Fast, the gentlemen of the above persuasion will not make their appearance either on 'Change, or at the Stock Exchange, during the day, as they remain at the Synagogue till the stars make their appearance, about seven o'clock; consequently we do not expect any speculations of magnitude to take place in the Funds. Consols, which left off yester day at 89* for the Account, opened at the same price, and for next Account 89/, sellers, at which price they remain at present. The Paris letters say that great activity prevails in the Chancellory at Paris; numerous new appoint ments have taken place. M.

TWO O'CLOCK. We still remain without any official .information from the East, and the horrid state of the weather causes a general gloom in the city. There is not any business of the least importance going forward in the Consol Market; all that can be said is, they are a shade better than in the early part of the morn ing, when Consols were S9i for the Account, and at present may be quoted 89i 3 ,- and 894 buyers for November Account. It is again reported that the Spanish expedition made good their landing at Tampico on the 6th of August, where they were well received by the inhabi tants, owing to their paying for every thing in money. The new bridge near Kingston, Upper Canada, was completed on the sth August. It is 600 yards in length, and is supported on piers 80 feet apart. The packet ship Manchester, from New York, sailed on the IGth September, has arrived off Port Lynas—letters and papers expected to-morrow.

There are very small arrivals of Corn at present this week, and of Flour also trifling. The attendance of buyers was very thin, probably owing to the extreme wet ness of the morning. Very little business has, therefore, been done to-da), and the prices may be reported nomi nally as on Monday. The expected fall in the top price of Flour has caused our bakers to decline buying at present. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. I Oats. I Flour. English Irish Foreign 1,500 - brls. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mr. INCLEDON appeared, for the second time, last night as Young Meadows, and sustained the character with increased claims to favour. His voice is, however, rather weak. After the play, Ducnow went through a series of beautiful and striking at titudes after the Antique, and gave very great sa tisfaction. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The comedy of the Provoked Husband was per ,:irmed at this Theatre last night, in a style of great excellence. Miss ELLEN TREE appeared for the first time at this house as Lady Townly, and played the part with much acuteness. In the last scene she was particularly successful, even to tears, for many were affected by her natural contrition for the errors of a mind led away more by strong im pulses of fashionable ambition than by any criminal predilection. A Miss LAWRENCE, from the Man chester Theatre, appeared as Lady Grace, to which she did justice. Her figure is perfectly theatrical, but her face seems to lack expr ess i on . Her enunciation is rather provincial, but she may get over that. Mrs. DAVENPORT played Lady Wrong/lead excellently well. Miss NEL SON, who made a successful first appearance last season in The Country Girl, was Miss Jenny, arid executed the part cleverly, maintaining the reputa tion which her former efforts had gained her. Mr. C. KEMBLE appeared as Lord Townly, which he acted with great force and discrimination. Mr. FAWCETT'S Sir Francis Wronghead, and Mr. BLANCHARD'S John Moody, have been often seen, and as often praised. It is enough, therefore, to say, that they were as good as ever ; and that Mr. ABBOTT, as Manly, arid Mr. MEADOWS, as' Squire Richard, were in their respective characters equally excellent. The play, which is one of the best old comedies on the stage, was acted throughout as it deserves to be, and the performers seemed to feel that it was worthy of their very best efforts. The melo-drame of Therese, or The Orphan of Geneva, followed, in which Miss KELLY appeared with her usual effect. The second appearance of Miss FANNY KEMBLE, as Juliet, was announced for this evening, and received with marked applause There is nothing new to remark respecting trading affairs in the City. The accounts from the great manufacturing districts continue to be favourable, and the return to their usual employments of the spinners at Man chester, who have so long held out, which it was predicted last week would speedily occur, has given some further encouragement to the expectations which before existed of a change for the better.— Times. SuiclDE.---Yesterday an inquest was held at the Hercules public-house, Leadenhall-street, on the body of a young man named WASEY WisKixs, a professor of botany, whose death was caused by his hanging himself on Monday night last. Mr. JACKSON, landlord of the public house, said the deceased had lodged three weeks in his house. On Sunday morning he expressed himself anxious to know what he owed. Witness's wife told him she would make out his account and give it him in the course of the day. The deceased in reply said, " No, I would rather have it now, as I may probably go off by the mail this evening." He added, " I hope you will not be hard with me, as I am out of place--make it as easy as you can." The account was given him, and he appeared per fectly satisfied. Ile afterwards went out, but returned at eight o'clock in the evening, when he complained of being unwell. He soon after went to bed, and witness saw nothing of him till the next morning, when lie found him hanging from the tester of his bed. JOHN SPENCER, coachman of the Norwich and Newmarket mail, deposed that he was brother-in-law to the deceased. On Sunday last he saw him, and walked with him as far as Row- LAND HILL'S Chapel, where, after lending him, at his request some money, witness parted from him. He promised to meet witness in the evening, to proceed with him by the mail to the residence of his father, the land lord of the Fleur de Lis Inn, at Weddington, Essex ; but he did not come. The pocket-book of the deceased was produced, containing, among other papers, a sealed letter, written by him the preceding evening, and addressed " Miss ELIZABETH SMITH, New Farm, Birchanger, Es sex, near Bishop Stortford ;" and on the other side of the envelope was written, " This not to be opened by any but Miss SMITH. Oh! dear, forgive me. The letter, not withstanding this injunction, was of course opened and read ; but, at the request of the brother-in-law, we abstain from publishing it. Suffice it to say, that it displayed a warm attachment towards the female to whom it was addressed, and implored her forgiveness of the rash act upon which h e was then bent. Verdict--" Suicide, i n d uce d b y i nsan i ty. ', The day after Dr. DODD was convicted at the Old Bailey, of the crime for which he afterwards suffered, he sent a note to Mr. WILLIAM WOODFALL, the original printer of the Morning Chronicle, requesting the favour of speaking to him on a very particular subject. Woon- FALL, who could never hesitate on a question of active and disinterested friendship, hastened to Newgate on the morn ing of receiving the invitation. On enter ing the apartment where the Doctor sat, he found it impossible to avoid taking notice of his unhappy situation ; but, as he was commisserating it in an embarrassed sympathising manner, the Doctor, with great apparent composure, interrupted him by saying, " Oh, Mr. WOODFALL, this is not the business I sent for you about. Sit down, and I will ex plain. Though I have not the pleasure of perssnally knowing you, I am not unacquainted with the line of your professional business, which, I understand, engages you much in the habits of the theatres, the managers, and theatrical pursuits in general. I likewise have a particular respect fur your judgment in those mat ters, and on this account I think you cal be of some service to me." (Here the other offering his civi lities, the Doctor proceeded.) " You must know, then, that being in my earlier days, like yourself, a lover of the drama, I sketched out a comedy, the hint of which I took from -the story of Sir ROGER DE C3VERLEY, in the Spec tator. This piece I have finished since my residence in Newgate; and if you will be so good as to revise it, and give me your interest with the manager, I shall feel myself much obliged to you." Mr. WoonrALL, finding himself relieved by the conference taking so different and unex pected a turn, instantly acceded to this proposal, took the manuscript away with him, suggested some alterations, which the Doctor readily complied with, and afterwards corresponded with him on the subject till t h e week before his execution...D ramatie Magazi ne f or OctQber.

DEPARTURES. The marriage of the Honourable Colonel SEYMOUR BATHURST (son of Earl BATHURST) with Miss HANxEv, was solemnized yesterday morning in St. George's Church, Hanover-square. The bride was given away by her uncle, the LORD CHIEF BARON of the Ex- CHEQUER. Numbers of the relatives and friends of the parties were present at the ceremony ; among them were the Duchess of RICHMOND, Earl BATIIURST, Sr; GEORGE MURRAY, Lady JANE PEEL, Lady GEORGINA BATHURST, &c. After the performance of the ceremony, the coin pany proceeded to the residence of Mr. Baron ALEX ANDER, ill Grosvenor-square, where a very handsome dejeune was prepared. The new married couple after wards left town for the seat of Earl HARCOURT, at Nune ham, Oxfordshire. THE CORPORATION.—W e understand the Master's report is made up, to which the Corporation has filed upwards of 200 objections. The report, after allow ing for two miles of metal main pipe, laid down beyond the original intention, and an allowance for some other work done by the Corporation, brings them in debtors to the citizens for upwards of 50 ,0001. —Dublin Morn. Reg. STORIES OF WATERLOO._. A work that premises to afford a rich treat to the general reader, and particularly to the members of that profession to which it more immediately relates, is on the eve of publication. It is entitled " Stories of Waterloo," and is said to consist of a succession of the most interesting narratives, illustrative of the heroism, fortitude, and magnanimity of the British soldier, under the most severe misfortunes and in the most trying and painful situations. We are requested to state that the following new works will be published by Messrs. COLBURN and BENTLEY, New Burlington-street, on Saturday next:— l. The Private Correspondence of Dr. Doddridge, edited by his great grandson, JOFIN DODDRIDGE HUMPIIREYS, Esq. in 2 vols. Bvo. with Portrait-2. Travels in ChaldNa, by Captain MIGNAN, including a Journey from Bussorah to Bagdad, Hill and Babylon, performed on font, with numerous curious illustrations, 1 vol. Svo. ; and 3. Stories of Waterloo and other Tales, 3 vols. post Bye. The weather has become particularly cold in London this week, and this forenoon we have been visited by a heavy shower of snow, which melted as it fell. A rich proprietor of the commune of Auriac, named LAREYNERIE, was found murdered on the 30th of August last. Strong su'picions have fallen on his only son, M. ANTOINE LAREYNERIE, who was arrested on the 16th ult., and is fully committed on the charge of parricide. It is:rumoured that Mr. MONTAGUE GORE, nephew of Colonel GORE LANGTON (who represented the county of Somerset in five Parliaments), will be a can didate for that distinguished honour at the next election.— Exeter Alfred. It is in contemplation to erect a bridge over the river Dart, at Dartmouth, the absence of which has so long been a subject of regret. W. RENDEL, Esq. en gineer, has formed a design for the intended work, which is to be laid before a meeting for promoting this desirable object.—Exeter Alfred. Faversham, Ospringe, and their suburbs, were visited on Thursday last with a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning, of long duration. The claps of the former were amazingly loud, while the intense bril liancy of the lightning kept the atmosphere in one conti nual blaze. Just as the Union coach had reached the for mer town, the electric fluid struck a tree near the road side, and, taking a longitudinal direction down the tree, stripped off the minor branches in its course, until it reached the roots, which were torn up, and the tree itself boldly lifted from its position. We have heard of no other damage.—Kent and Essex Mercury. SERVICEABLE COA T.—A tailor of Leicester repaired a coat last week which had been in wear for more than fifty years ; and, notwithstanding the various muta tions which it had undergone in shape and colour, it will, in all probability, still wear as long as its owner. On Wednesday - last,' about three o'clock in the afternoon, some villain or villains entered the dwelling house of Mr. WM. SEWARD, at Penn Farm, in the parish of Ashton, about eight miles from Exeter, broke open two boxes, and carried away between twenty and thirty pounds in gold, notes, and silver; a - watch and some silver spoons were removed from one of the boxes, and left o❑ the window shelf. The whole of the family were harvesting iu a field adjoing to the house, and of this circumstance the perpetrator must have been aware; he is also supposed to have been well acquainted with the premises —Exeter Alfred. About one o'clock in the morning of Friday List, the sloop John and Hannah, of Padstow, G. NANcE, master, when about 20 miles off the land, on her voyage from Bristol, was run down by a brig, by which her main boom was carried away, and her quarter stove in. The people on board the brig bailed after the accident, and de sired to know the name of the sloop ; but on being told and requested to afford assistance, they proceeded on their way, without further notice of the vessel, which for any thing they knew was in a sinking state. It was only by the greatest exertions that the sloop was kept afloat ; but happily this was effected by nailing a tarpaulin under the quarter, so as to check the leak, and enable them to reach Padstow.— West Briton, DREADFUL ACCIDENT.. On Monday morn ing, about eleven o'clock, a journeyman painter, named JAMES A LSOP, was engaged in the upper loft of the pre mises of Messrs. APANnaEw and Son, the orange-mer chants, in Pudding-lane, Lower Thames -street, which is nearly sixty feet high, in painting the crane, when he fell into the road with such tremendous force that both his legs were most frightfully fractured, and his collar-bone dislocated. Many persons who saw him falling endeavour ed to break the force of the fill, but failed. The poor sufferer was picked up and carried to Guy's Hospital, where he now remains without the remotest hope of re covery. The unfortunate man has a wife and family de pending on him for support. Hop-picking i s go i ng on rapidly in most parts of East Kent. In some places it is completed, the hops dried, and sent to market. Scanty as the crop is, we recollect one or two occasions when the deficiency was greater than we apprehend it will be this year. The in cessant rains have deteriorated the produce by washing out much of their condition ; hence, together with the immense quantities on hand, it is impossible a great price can be attained. In our perambulations about Adisham we observed one ground where the crop, calculated at 500 cwt. per acme, looked remarkably fine. This, no doubt, equals the best plantations ; but, compared with former years, it is a thin produce. —Kent and _Essex Mercury. The Preventiv e Service have of late been very busy on the coast in the apprehension of smugglers. One respectable-looking man, on Sa-urday last, after under going examination before the East Kent Magistrates, was committed to Maidstone gaol for a twelvemonth, in default of paying a fine of 1001. to the King.

Albany I Barraek,, Ts 4 of Wight, Oct. 6, 1829. S7l', In yni:r 1 3 ,,ppr nt rlitirsday last appears a uaragrapli, ashen fr.', the allaids lone Journal, relat ing to t I e 47t1, hith the following is ail extract :—" A consid,ral,:e portion of the regi ment is now composed of convicts, whose terms of transportation at Van Dieman's Land having ex pired, they enlisted." As we feel confident you, as the Editor of so highly respectable and widely circulating a Journal as The Sun, would not wantonly injure the feeling, of a body of men, by disseminating a libel so base, I think it my duty, as the eldest member of the 47th Regiment (having been with it 28 years) of giving you an opportunity of contradicting such a degrading report, by assuring you that the assertion of the Editor of the Maidstone Journal is a vile and infamous falsehood. Since I have been with the regiment only one convict has been received, he was one of the mutineers that carried the Jane Shore convict ship into Monte Video; he was handed over to us at Buenos Ayres, in 1807, and in seven months after was shot, in pursuance to the sentence of a general Court Martial, arid that is the only execution that has occurred in the regiment, either by the sentence of a civil or military Court since belonged to it, arid I believe even for twenty-five years previously. The Editor of the Maidstone Journal will be dealt with in the way he deserves, I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, J. BACKHOUSE, M ijor of the 47th Regiment. # o * We readily insert the above, and have only to regret that there should have been any occasion j for the Gallant Major's vindicating the honour of his Regiment.—EDlTOß OF THE SUN.

This fight took place yesterday, at No-man's Land. There was a muster to see this little matter in the old fa shion between Ted Sweeney, the Barley Boy, and Cozins, tl - e Big Boy, for 251. a-side. Cozins has won all his battles—lie defeated the Cheshire Hero, Deaf Bourke, and Ted Sweeney, on a former occa sion, for a purse, at last Epsom races. Ted defeated Ned Savage, of starling nest celebrity, and did it cleverly, the former battle between Sweeney and Cozins has always been surrounded with doubts amounting to suspicion.— Both men were out of the needful at the time, and the purse was not immense. It was a battle of fortune; that of yesterday was got up for fame. So much has been said of late, however, on these matters, that, as usual, " mixing up" was talked of. A battle, not bloodless, but net bold, took place, in which Cozina pleased his friends; he took the lead, and kept it—administered first knock down —extracted first blood, and finally won the battle in something less than an hour and a quarter. Sweeney's friends thought less of their Ted than usual, he trashed it, and did not fight.— Cozins' left hand was considerably puffed, but otherwise he was little punished. Ted's hands kept good, but he napped some punishment, and had the shutter on one of his eyes. The consequent aspect at the two rendezvous was very different ; the Duke of Wirtemberg, Hatfield street, was filled with long faces ; the Hole-in-the-Wall, Chancery-lane, was crammed with merry ones. SINGULAR ACCIDENT. —As Mr. CROOK 2 of Bristol, was whipping his horse, while driving out in a gig on Friday, about an inch of the whip-cord entered his left eye with such force as to detach itself from ti e whip, pass through the cornea, and penetrate as far as the pristerior of the globe of the eye, where it fixed itself so firmly as to require the use of very great force for its ex traction. The fore part of the eye was literally torn to pieces, and its contents fell out into the b.)ttom of the gig. In this state Mr. CROOK had the resolution to drive him self back to Bristol, a distance of eight or nine miles. We understand that, by the judicious treatment of Mr. KEL. SON, no further bad consequences than the loss of the eye are at present expected.—Exeter Alfred. A nail-maker living in the commune of Sou• magne (Liege), appeared to be the object of hatred of one of his brothers, much younger than himself. The elder one, named H. J. THOUMSIN, was occupied a few days ago at his forge, when his brother, armed with a pointed iron rod, which was red hot and ready to be made into nails, made his appearance suddenly, and thrust it into his body near the heart—it pierced through a very thick lea therm apron and a strong linen shirt. A surgeon who visited him stated the wound to be six inches deep ; not withstanding this, he was not dead when the intelligence was forwarded to us. The culprit was arrested and de. livered up to justice.—,French Paper. ENLARGEMENT OF NEWSPAPERS.--It seems that seventy years ago a Paper was printed in Mas sachusets, U.S. It was on a small sheet, and the Pub lisher gave as a reason for enlarging it, that he had got " thirteen months behind with foreign news, and by this means alone he should be enabled to square up," li. ;~f KNOB STICK WEDDINGS. One of those illegal celebrations of matrimony, which are termed by the peasantry " kuobstick weddings," lately took place at Wirksworth. The parties forced into the blessed state are o William Saxton, a slend er - w i tte d man, 24 years age, and Lydia Brooks, s ome 15 years older, who has a wooden leg, both of them paupers the man chargeable to Sheffield, the woman to Middleton, near Matlock, The subordinate actors in the comedy are Mr. Philip Bateman and Mr. David Walker, guardians of the poor in. that part of Derbyshire already named, and AIN George Crosland, of Sheffield, who, in his duty to the overseers, appears to have assumed the part of an official Pry, and i n t er f ere d most for tunately for the pr o t ec ti on o f t h e i nterests of those parishioners whom he represents. The week before last, William Saxton appeared be fore the governor of the workhouse, in a most pitiable plight, soliciting food and protection, de claring that he had but the minute before, hungry and full of etpectations of all sorts, en tered a house which his wife said was her's, when he was set upon by several men and women, and driven forth with many stripes. Upon the re raeotpetition si ditiworarsosfumttoimnepdorftraonint whoirsdhuwriefea,o,Mofr..cCoir,ors-e very desirous of being informed how h i s ae edexplanation, IdPiately, detected single, and u a ac quaintance, c n e o , t h S i v o h g o t whoa e f a e t w p...i.:r d oy a t. y t s l2. ; b n e b f( tr r h r of charity, and all the a plot to been t pledges which, enabledsima .Saxton en in the course of years, might prove her unre strained affection, on the parish funds of the rate-payers of Sheffield. " Liddy Brooks," said the newly-made husband, " whom I never know'd, sweared a child on me as soon as she'd fasten lAlla dr gotten to Middleton, where you sent her. (She was removed by Sheffield to Middleton, her place of settlement.) So, when she'd swear'd it, they sent o'er for me to filiate it ; first of a ll they took me to Derby, and then, only because I know'd nothing about it, they remanded me to Wirksworth gaol. When I had lied in gaol some time, the gentlemen I telled you of comes to me, and says they, Why man, you mull marry this lass.' Aye,' says I, I mut-, as weel, sin you mak me father o' her 'bair ns ,' Then, says they again, if you don't u , andhappen you'll li e i n gao l f or a twelvemonth, and happen be h ange d after all,' However they gied me some li quor, and I being seared, gied em my promise.' The remaining part of the story is too ser i ous to b e given in poor Saxton's own language. In this state of drunkenness, without hat or shoes, handcuff e d the pauper was taken from gaol to Matlock, where a licence • of marriage was procured and paid for by the overseers. This part of the business being ar ranged, the pauper was returned to dura':,ce in the morning, the overseers appeared before the prison doors, and summoned the c a p t i ve. To prevent mistakes, it was though!. proper that a pair of steel ruffles (handcuff', ) should unite the impatient groom to .one of the overseers, and in this state, by a circuitous route, the party reached the church of Wilkswortl. IHere, equally under the influezl4 of the ' Istood parrs guides , the woctlen,legged blide ; and here poor Saxton, who had been frightened into a belief that no choice existed between hanging and marrying, submitted to take for better or worse Lydia Brooks. The wily officers " would not throw a chanco away," and cutting short all moments of dalliance, hurried the couple off to the in part newly acquired settlement of Sheffield, and con gratulated themselves how neatly they had done " the grinders." Their disappointment was soon manifest. Mr. Crosland immediately brought the case before W. J. 13agshawe, Esq., a magistrate of the county, at the time sitting at Mr. Gascoigne's, the Horse and Jockey, at Hemsworth ; the overseers were summoned, and, appeared, but being unable to give any explal 43 , tion of their cond uc t, th e y were held to bail t o appear at the Derby Sessions, to answer a pro secution for fraudulently procuring the marriage of William Saxton with Lydia Brooks, with th e intent to defraud t h e township of Sheffield.— Abridged from the Sheffield Independent. A Meeting of the Creditors under the Com mission of Bankruptcy issued against the late Mr. CHAT. SricEtt, of Margate, took place yesterday, at Bankrupts' Hall, befor e the Commissioners. The deceased was in Ireland at the time the docket was struck, and was carry-, ing on a good business, as a tavern-keeper, at Marga t , . and living in credit. His debts were not to a large amount, and those proved Were mostly bill transactions. • SINGULAR SUICID4 •'4 (From the Boston Gazette of Tursdao44 4 The melan c h o l y i nstances of seMdestructiorr* Boston have rapidly multiplied of late; but alikotaili. the painful duty of announcing them has beenAne4.. more frequent than formerly, yet we do not remem ber a solitary case, which affords so much ground' for astonishment as the one we are about to relate; for several reasons--chiefly considering the advanced age of the party, thus snatching off the last rem: nant of a protracted existence, and the apparent ab sence of any reasonable cause. Mrs. Mary George„ widow, formerly landlady of the Indian Queen pub lic-Douse, in Dolphin-lane, retired from busuies.s, some years ago; for nearly twenty years she had been afflicted with illness, and her sufferings were great; at the period of her death she had entered her eighty-first year, and she has spent about six: teen years in easy pecuniary circumstances, being. attended by an affectionate relative named Mary Ann Danderson, whom the old lady had brought up from infancy. Within the last few weeks Mrs.. George manifested, by unequivocal symptoms,• that. her mental faculties were rapidly decaying; her me mory forsook her, and she appears to have become childish and superannuated. She had been tillable to dress herself, or even to get out of bed, without assistance for a long time. About one o'clock on Friday afternoon she was as well as usual, and in bed. Mary Ann Danderson did not disturb her aged benefactor, but about an hour afterwards she again went up stairs, and there she saw the poor old woman on her knees, with a bloody knife in her har.d, and the vita! fluid trickling from a wound in the neck, which had been caused by the deceased stabbing herself with the knife she retained in her grasp. She was alive then, and said to the woman that found her—" Oh I my dear, my heart has been broken all summer." And this was the only explanation she gave either of the wound, or of the reason which induced her thus to cut off the . short time she had to live. She sent for fur rela tives, and told them to pray for her, and she also prayed fervently and distinctly for some time. About a quarter past four o'clock the same after noon she expired, being perfectly sensible after she had wounded herself up to the moment of her death. Mr. J. R. Rogers, surgeon, was called in, arid sewed up the laceration. Mrs. Wingate, a niece of the deceased, asked her why she had laid violent hands upon herself, and she replied that she hod been broken-hearted all summer. An inquest was held upon the body on Saturday morning, at the Ship Tavern, before J. H. HouwaY, Gent., Coroner for the borough, and a very respectable Jury, when a verdict was returned to the effect—" That the de. ceased destroyed herself in a fit of temporary de rangement." ,_~, i fr. t 9•
