INLAND NAVIGATION..—at Thursday, the

.sth ult. a Meeting took place at PETERBOROUGH, pursuan
_ .

to public notice, to consider of improving the navigation of the
River Nene; the Duke of BEDFORD was called to the chair,
and there were present the Earl Fitzwilliam, the Marquis Ta-
vistock, Lord Win. Bentinck, Lord Straththaven, Sir Andrew
Hammond, and other persons of property interested in the ob
ject in contemplation. The Noble Chairman having opened
the business of the day, and Mr. Adams read the report of the
Committee appointed at the Meeting held at Wisbech, the Earl
Fitzwilliam rose and proposed certain resolutions for Che carry-
ing into execution the work, which his Lordship having read,
they were duly seconded. Mr. Bellamy strongly opposed the
project, stating, that it would be ruinous in the extreme, and
that he and others were delegates sent to that meeting to state
the opinions of the persons who were the proprietors of land in
the vicinity of Wisbech, to the extent of nearly 30,000 acres. If
the measure was practicable, he. asked where was the 400,0001.
to be raised to carry it into execution, in the depressed state of
the country ; if practicable, was it prudent to lay such an im-
mense burthen upon land at the present time? Mr. Usill and
Mr. NickolLs supported those arguments, and remarked, that
the work which was estimated at 400,0001. would, in ail proba-
bility, cost double that amount. The Earl Fitzwilliam ex-
pressed his firm belief, that the proposed measure, if adopted,
would be of great advantage to the surrounding country. His
Lordship said, he was fully aware of the necessity of husband-
ing our resources, and not to enhance the burthens of the agri-
culturist ; but this plan, if carried into execution, would not be
the means of laying an additional burthen upon the fanner, for
the tax would be paid by the land owner. The other resolutions
were severally put by the Noble Chairman, and received the oppo-
sition of the gentlemen who had delivered their opinions against
them and of others: but they were carried by a great ma.
jority. Mr. Bellamy moved, as an amendment, " that from
the depressed state of zgriculture, it was inexpedient now to
proceed in the proposed plan," which was also put and nega-
tived ; and after an animated discussion upon the propriety of
urging it at this time, all the Resolutions were carried by a
large majority.—The details of this great and important mea-
sure, the merits of which are fully recognized by all persons,
are confided to a Committee of Noblemen and Gentlemen of
acknowledged talent and integrity, and possessing so great an
interest in its execution
.that we are justified in anticipating
every degree of success which the promoters so confidently look
for, in the improvement of the extensive Fen and Low Lands
draining by the River Nene, as of the Navigation from Wis-
beets up to Peterborough, and thence to Northampton.

SUICIDE WV A BOY.—Sunday morning, between
nine and ten &Clock, CHARLES CARTWRIGHT,
about fifteen years of age, who resided with his
parents in Museum-street, Bloomsbury, destroy-
ed himself in his father's house under distressing
circumstances. It appears that his father, a
short time ago, procured for him a situation at a
grocer's, at the west end of the town, and in the
course of his employment he met with a serious
accident, which caused him to leave his situa-
tion ; he subsequently became worse, and his
spirits appeared much preyed upon. Sunday
morning he was in his apartment along with his
mother, who requested him to go and clean him-
self ; he left her, but proceeded to the kitchen,
and in about half an hour afterwards, he was dis-
covered by the servant suspended by a thin cord ;
he was instantly cut down, and a surgeon sent
for, but the unfortunate youth wag quite dead.
