INDLING.

Eiricilal. —An inquest was held before H. Lock, Faq.,
deputy eoroner, yesterday (Monday), on the body of
William Wellman, seed 56, a labourer, who cut his
Shroud on the 15th May, and died on Sunday
night last. It seems that on Fri4py morning, the
15th ult., Wellinas got up about half-past four
so usual, and his wife rose about half an hour
later. Finding her husband had not lighted the
fire as anal, she went to look for his, and dis-
covered him sitting in no outhouse with his arm.
resting upon his knees, sad blood gushing from
his throat. Near him was a large knife. She
immediately made an alarm, neighbours came, •uid they
did all they could to stop the effusion of blood till
medical assistance weld be obtained. Dr. Downes, of
Corns Abbe, was sent for, and on his arrival sewed op
the wound. The man had made an extensive pals
in his throat, but the main artery was not
injured. At one time it was hoped he would reoover,
but of late ha had become worse, and died on Sunday
about midnitht. Two or three months before this
oecurrenee Wellman bad been attended for rheumatism
by Dr. Downes, and at that time he said something
about destroying himself end others, which led the
doctor to direct that be should be taken oars of, and
three or four men alternately had charge of him
for some time, until indeed he appeared
quite recovered. Sinus then be bad been to
'mar regularly till the morning when this happened.
The evidence showed that at times he had been very
lowepirited and &jested, sod the jury retuned a
vardiat of sad& whits of unsound mind.

WEYMOUTH.

llamormis Dmeacin—A fortnight since we reported
the theft of the unicorn's born, which was stolen
daring the yromaary week from the King's statue.
Since then another malicious freak has bees practised—
the terminal of ODA of the railings lias been broken off.
We think a reward ought to be offered by the Town
Council for the apprehension of the offender or
offenders.

Ti. amain Sitsecie.—On Friday end Saturday
last, the fishermen of Weymoeth and Portland reaped
a rich harvest by the catch of a large quantity of
ackerel off the Chesil Beech and the Breakwater.
The alb were observed in large shoals, which made the
waters quite black. The fishermen went out, and in •
short spies of time returned to shore with • splendid
haul of the lineet masher.' which have been caught
during the Demon. The principal part was conveyed
to the London mulct* but several dart loads were
vended about the street, at Is. 6d. per dosen.
Tag CRANIUM, FLINN! AND MB WITNOOTH WATER-
Nms.--liiioce the arrival of the Channel Squadron off
Portland Ro•ds, the watermen of this town have had
great came of complaint, through the engagement of
the Portsmouth bumb-boats, to tarry provision, for
the supply of the milers and marines on board the
various hoe clads. In all other eft poets where Her
Majesty's vessels are lying, it is meal for the town
watereme to carry provisions on board. But in this
town it appears the rights mod priviktee of our water-
... at. ...pod by strangers. Them men have to
I toil hard during the winter months to gain • livelihood
for their wives end families, mad it seems hard for them
to be deprived of earning a few pounds by other men
who do not pay rates and tales. We hope that the
instMr will be looked into by the friends of our town
waterman during the absence of the Channel fleet, which,
however, will not mil for the 30 days' cruise for some
time, ea the orders they received to mil list Saturday
were oountermasided.
