On Monday last an ea of suicide, attended with
circumstances of a very affeeting, nature, was com-
mitted on. board t' e Thames Smack, Capt. Be LLI N -
OA LI, at sea, while on her'veyagefrom Leith ioeleen-
.4oe. This Vessel:had si great many passengers, and
among the rest one .Gentleman, of Very respectable
appearance, •whose, behaviour, and unfortunate 'state:
of mind; ett reeled the notice' of every one on boerd.'•
He appeared extremely ,dejeCled, atid paid le:nr rw
at ten tit)ll to, any one around, him. The passengers'
were, however, under no apprehension of the dread-,
fill catastrophe which was-about to take place. On'
Monday, all. the peOple: were on deck, except ono
person, who remained in the cabin with the Gentle-
man in eoestion. The 'letter pulled out his ware:4
and 21. in money, and without any preface addressed,.
the other 'person its these words—" Young tnau;
have you not eionie small debts you would wish to
pay ?! The other reieied i 0 the negative;.iota which
lie" was again urged to accept of the money, the •'
Gentleman Sayitig, " You may as• well take it.: •it
will be better in yotinpossession than at the bottom of'
the sea."—The young man inudediatelee went on.
(leek to cininunicate.his suspicions of the mdse.,
innate Gentlemau's,intention ; but before any pre-
cautioni .could be taken, he bad thrown himself
(ruin the cabin window into the sea.' , The boat was
immediately hoisted out, but, as if aware that malt
,would be the`ease, he had previously cut his throat;
arid when the boat reached Mir, and had iaken him
ou beard,' the people :saw that their efferts were too

fortunate subjea of this :paragraph, • the shock oce •

as the passengers, it h hardly possible to de-

friends, who reside in .London, the opportunjey of -
interring the body in a way consolatory to their Own
t feelings, kept it 'on board, till the- unexpeaed. tedi-
exisnes§ of •tud.voyage, and the extreine heat or the
'weather, obliged Aurn.to cause it to be thrown into
.the sea.' This wes • also done .partly to satisfy the

the,body remained on board, they could not cheer-
