.SHOCKING SUICIDE.

For some days past, rnmonr. of a most shocking occurrence
having taken place in the comity of Norilminherland have
been current in this tout] ; and we are starry to state, that
they have, proved In he bat too true. To our great ssirprise
we have not heard it word upon the *object Irmo any of our
northern correspondents, lint we believe the follow Mg parti•
eolar,, to be ovally corn ct : On Tilt/Oily last, two brothers
of the name of Younglinshand, respectable farmers, residing
at Heekley.grang,,e. hear Alnwick, were found Icing dead ill
one of their own fields, with their throats cut. In the course
of the afternoon, cue of them had been superin:ending the
men ploughing;, and bad given the men orders to unyoke their
horses, when he was called into an adjoining field by his bro-
ther The men accordingly st elit home, and sonic: time having
elapsed and their masters not coming home et their usual
I , a search was instituted, when their bodies were
in the field into whits!' the one brother bad called the
lying within twenty yards of each other with their throat*
col, anti a bloody tarot lying at the side of each. A Coro-
net's inquest was held on the bodies on Wednesday, and sat
till tone o'clock oil Thmealay mottling, when it was adjourned.
It again met on Thursday, and sat the whole of that day, and
was again adjoiirned. The deceased were upwards of 60
years of age, in afflaent circumstances) and hiseparable corns
pinions. Neirciisile Chronicle.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.—On the morning of Timidity se'c•
night, between nine and ten o'clock, what one of them was
giving insti 'tenons to a boy ploughing in one of their fields,
the oilier brother approached, and asked, " Are you ready?"
Being answered in the affirmative, they left the field together.
At dinner they were miwing ; but this created little alas ni,
as accident or some unexpected business relative to the ferns
might have occasioned their absence. Evening arrived, and
they did not appear. This naturally excited tearful appre-
hensions ; and a servant was sent the way they had been
walking; alien the dreadful discovery was made, that they a eta
no longer is existence. They were lying distant from each
other only a few yards, near a ditch, each having his throat
cut, and a tailor near his body. A watch was also found
beside one of them, front which it may be inferred that they
had resolved to die at the seine moment. There was not the
least appearance of scuffle, nor any room for suspicion that
they had been murdered by oilier,. A Jury was summoned
chat night, and continued to hold inquest adjoin nments inter.
vening till Thursday night, when a verdict of /chi de se was
returned. The farming sieck and utensils were then valued,
and the bodies were buried at midnight on Saturday in the
crass roads near the church. Unseasonable as the hour was,
the intenneid was numerously attended. All seemed to
allow the justice of the verdict, though all seemed to lament
it. The friends of the deceased atteinpted to prove insanity,
but failed entirely ; their greatest efforts being unable even
to establish previous melancholy. The act appears to have
been some time premeditated. A hair-dresser who was
called before the Jury identified the razors found near the
bodies as having been brought to Into to sharpen on the
Saturday berme. This melancholy event, for which no satis-
factory cause hat been assigned, will long remain ist the it-
collection of all.

THE C (BALTA.—The following particulars of the loss of
the Honourable East India Company's ship, Cabalwa, ere
fauns a young Aker, who was an eye witness of the meta's-
chitty affair, and deeply partook of the sufferings of the unfor-
tunate crew, as et 111111 l unmated by letter to his friend, a gentle-

water; but the leak shortly gained upon us at least nine inches
per hour, and daily increasing, it was necessary to keep the
pumps constantly going from the Isle of Wight. In a short
lime the crew mutinied, which, however, was quelled by the
7exansple of punishment on a few individuals. We at length
