SUICIDF. OF Tlle HON. H. E. ADDINGTON.—
On Wednesday last the Hon. Henry Estecort Addington,
son of Lord Sidmouth, committed suicide at his father's
residence at Albury, near Guildford. It appears that the
unfortunate young man (whose age is only 21 years) ha.,
for some time past, been labouring under mental aberration,
his malady being considered to be the result of a fever
caught in the island of Corfu, while on military service.
On the 9th instant, by the recommendation of his medical
attendants, he was placed under the surveillance of a keeper,
who wan in the house at the time the melancholy event
occurred. The coroner for Wcat Surrey (J. C. Woods,
Esq.) held an inquest on the body on Friday, at the Drum-
mond Arms, Albury. From the evidence of Oeorge Collins,
the kveper referred to, it appeared that on the ut,rMng of
Wednesday. while shaving the deceased, he urgently solicited
him to let him take the ra/or and shave himself, which of
course was refused. Some time afterwards deceased proceeded
to his bedroom, the keeper watching him in, but not follow-
ing him. Entering however, shortly afterwards, he saw
deceased suspended to the bedstead by a black silk necker-
chief. Notwithstanding prompt assistance, dec:ssed never
rallied. The jury returned a verdict of insanity.—Susses
Advertiser.

THE PREVATLING SCARCTIT.—We are informed
that the following document has received the approbation, if
not of the highest personage of the realm, at least of a large
number of the highest ranks in our nobility. A similar
voluntary undertaking was, as many of our reader. are
aware, very
.generally adopted, under the patronage of
Royalty, during the dearth which prevailed at the be-
ginning of the present century. There arc probably
few households of the higher and middle closets Of
society in which a considerable Paving might not easily
be effected, and, although in proportion to the
deficiency of supply the amount of provision. thus saved
may seem insignificant, it is to he remembered that the only
practical remedy for a scarcity is to limit consumption, and
that every loaf thus saved is not only so much gain.' by the
householder, but so much added to the national stock
We, the undersigned, deeply impressed with the distress
which prevails among a great number of our fellow-country-
men in Great Britain and Ireland, front the want of neces-
sary subsistence, and observing that the prices of food are
rising, think It our duty to pledge ourselven to reduce in our
as far as may be practicable, the consumption of
bread and flour, and we invite the co-operation of all those
who may MOM' with us in our estimate of the present emer.
gency.— Times.
