SUICIDE AT HUDDERSFIELD. —On Wednesday
afternoon last, as some colliers were going to work up the
road leading to the railway station, known as Cow lane,
Hinley, near Huddersfield, they perceived a man lying, as
if sound asleep, in the corner of an elevated field adjoining.
As he did not appear to move, an aged man, named Simeon
Oldfield, who was passing at the time, was pent to awake him,
and on arriving at the place found him lying in a pool of
blood, quite dead, his throat having been cut in a shocking
manner, evidently h}a razor, which was found near him.
The colliers were anxious to get front the place so as not to
be mixed up with the matter, but the old man prevailed
upon them to stop near the body, and went immediately
for the constable. A cart having been procured, the body
was conveyed to the Jacob's Wells inn,w here it was identified
11e that of William Hanson, whose course of life has, we un-
derstand, for some time back been dissolute and unhappy.
He had once before attempted to put an end to his exist-
ence. The deceased was forty-one years of age. Ile has
left a wife and several children. An inquest before J. Dy-
son, Esq., coroner was held over the body yesterday (Friday)
when a vcrdic, in accordance with the circumstances of the
case was returned.
BLASTING Or THE SWELIN ROCKS. —The re-
moval by blasting of the dangerous rocks, called "the
Swelly," situated in the centre of the Menai Straits, will
take place during the course of the present summer season.
The Lords of the Admiralty have adopted the plan pro-
posed by air. Edwin Clark, the engineer; and the con-
tractors have received directions to proceed without delay
with the work of removal, the time for which has been
limited to eighteen months. The .chief portion, it is ex-
pected, will be removed during the present season. The
cost will be about 6,000/., for which a parliamentary grant
has been obtained, and this will ensure the removal of the
principal obstructions, with a considerable portion from the
surface of the quarter tide rocks, thus leaving Vie import-
ant navigation of the Straits comparatively unimpeded.
The removal of these obstructions will scour the bed and
channel of the Straits, and considerably improve the bar
harbours of Beaunsaris and Carnarvon, and cause the
transit of many vessels through the Menai, In preference
to the longer route by Holyhead.
