HEAD INN, SKINNER. srREET, SNOW- Yesterday mornin g a most shocking occurrence took place on board the Fury Discovery vessel, lying off Dept • ford. Lieut. Jonlfs•fro having-been promoted to the sliip:fOr the Northern Expedition, - received from his brother on 'rqesClay night a -double barrelled gun. Previous to this time he had but el been e n treated by to in hisbyhiosbftraiendsn sch n ot to H e with is the expedition, applicatiob had been forwarded to the. Lords of the Admiralty, and -yesterday morning the answer was expected to arrive per post. The cir cumstance, however, seemed to weigh heavily upon his mind, and about seven o'clock in the morning, loading the gun which had been sent him by his brother, he fastened the butt-end in a Sling, and attaching it to his• foot, placed the muzzle in his mouth and fired it off. The ball carried away the whole of the lower part of thb mouth, and, passing through the back part of his head, scattered the brains in differs it directions. The offi . - Cers and crew of the Fury flew to the assistance of their unfoi tunate friend, but life was totally extinct. The moment die dreadful affair became known 4 the sorrow that.was Manifested proved the respect in which he was held-in the navy ; the res. sels immediately lowered their flags half -oust high, and con tinued so throughont the day. After sometime the body was conveyed irk a shell, covered .with a- Union Jack, in the dreadful state already described, to the Red Lion public house, audi , st twelve o'clock, Mr. CA:IA-TAR; the Coroner, held an Inquest,on the remains. The witneses who attended, were his brother officers, who spoke-to . his state-of mind, and also of the perpetration of the. dreadful act. They gave their decided opinion that the unfortunate officer laboured under a depressibu of. spirits, probably accelerated by the causes ready stated, and the Jury unanimously returned their verdict, "That the deceased, Lieut. !fume Johnston, destroyed him self, being at the time in a sta t e of -temporary mental derange ment." The deceased, it is: said, was th'e son of a General Johnston, in Scotland; he was about 30 years of age. WODGSO2f V. TWeNTYMAN. Mr: SCARLE TT stated,: that this wa - si,an action by -Messrs.
