( Copy, No. 74.) " The Hague, Aug. 16, 1836.

A shocking case of suicide occurred at Bemerton
near thia city, on Thursday. Mr. Targett, an elderly gen-
tleman, residing there, deliberately kindled a fire in his gar-
den, and having loaded a gun-barrel, he placed the muzzle to
his head, and the other end in the fire ; in the explosion the
barrel burst, but a portion of its contents passed through his
head, and killed him instantaneously. He had placed a writ-
ten paper under a brick, stating that he was weary of life, and
wished to die as Castlereagh had done. We understand that
the deceased was in the habit of distributing, on the first day
of each month, half-a-crown to each poor family in the parish.
He was a widower, but has left a family behind him.—Salis-
bury Herald.
In reference to a newly invented hat, manufactured
at Greenock, the Advertiser of that place says, " Although it
is alleged that a Scottish mist will wet an Englishman to the
skin, we could venture to guarantee a dry head to any Cock-
ney who should ensconce his caput in one of our townsmen's
hats, even if he should encounter a shower calculated, as
Mansie Waugh has it, "to wash cats fra aff the hew tap."
An alarm was spread on Wednesday forenoon of
fire having broke out in the Glasgow Herald office. When
the fire engines turned out, it was found that the fire was con-
fined to a garret, immediately over the editor's room, which
was occupied as a store for old paper and lumber. The joist-
lug of the apartment had been kindled for some hours pre-
vious, it is said, by the flames of a foul chimney belonging to
another part of the building. The ftre did not reach the body
of the establishment.
