SUICIDE FROM REVERSE OF FORTUNE,—O❑ Tlitrs-
day Mr. Payne held an inquest, at :St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, on the body of James Hemsworth, aged 40,
late waiter at the Piszz Hotel, Covent-gar(len, and for-
merly a tavern keeper at Hull. Deceased's landlady
said, that deceased had latterly been much depressed, in
spirits, and was suffering severely from pulmonary dis •
ease. Though she pressed him to consult a doctor, and
inform his relatives of his condition, he would never dr)
so. On Wednesday morning week, as he answered in a
very singular voice Ls she called him at his bedroom
door, she was induced to enter his room, and found that
he had cut his throat. She sent for Dr. Lynch, of Far.
ringdon-street, who sewed up the wound and ordered
deceased's removal to that hospital. Mr. Liddle, a gen-
tleman residing in Trinity -square, Southwark, said ha
was uncle to deceased, who formerly kept a tavern i t
' Hull. He was dissipated and proud, and hence chiefly
his failure in business. Deceased had addressed a letter
to witness, saying, " when you next hear of me, I sha I
be no more, and I trust that you will not allow the parish
to bury me." Mr. Wild, house surgeon, attribute,l
death, which occurred on Wednesday, to disease of ail
lungs, accelerated by the wound in the throdt. Verdict
" Temporary insanity."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TAT TERSAL US—YESTERDAY.
A few of the small number of subscribers now in
town " dropped in" in the course of the afternoon,
more, we imagine, with the desperate hope of meeting
with some of the absentees, and closing their Newmarket
accounts, than with any idea of business or future
events. This hope was not realised—those who were
absent on Monday, were non eat yesterday, and we are
not aware that twenty pounds were rubbed off the heavy
balances due in many quarters. The Derby betting, as
may be well imagined, was very slack; still, as several
animals were backed, chiefly in small amounts, wo are
enabled to present a moderately good list of prices.
