HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE.

Doring the last two ..or three weeks, persons
passing along. a road near PelYnt, Cornwall, were
annoyed by an
,offensive slued, that appeared, to.
proceed from a 'field adjoining ; but the cause was
not sought after until Vriday last, when in an un-
frequented corner, a. person discovered what ap-
peared the Mangled carcass of- a, calf; but on a
nearer approach it proved to he the headless
frank of a human ,being. . Horror-struck at
the sight, the person gave the alarm, and
several individuals hurried to the spot. The
body, which was half devoured, appeared to
be that of a man ; and soon after the bead
was discovered at some distance in a very
mutilated state,;-=-the whole was highly putrid.
Tattered remains of clothing were found on the
body, amongst which was part of a woollen frock,
such as is worn by stream-tint-wits ; there was
also found near, a small bundle, containing
some articles of apparel, which might be sup-
posed to belong to sorb a person ; but no-
thing appeared that could lead to a discovery
of the name or residence of the unfortunate
owner. A halter used for horses was found tied
to a stump of a tree, not above two feet from the
ground. It is probable that the person had ebna
[rived to strangle himself whilst be lay on the
ground ; his head and shoulders being raised a
little by the cord. In this situation ,the body be-
coming putrid, was discovered and torn by pigs,
which had access to the field ;—it is sup-
posed that it was by the efforts of these .ani.
orals to tear their prey, that the- bead was
separated from the body. The whole that
has yet been learned of this wretched being is,
that about six Weeks since a man who, bad the
appearance of a miner came to the house of Mr.
Northcott, a 'respectable fat mer, to whom the
field (where the body was found) belongs, and said
that he was in search of employment,—he was
invited to cat, but be sail he should take no more
in this world, and left-the houSe dejected. Th e
same day .a tatter was missed from the staple; but
no idea was entertained of its being stolen. An
Inquest has been held on the'body, but the above
is the w hole .of the facts that were given in evi-
dence ; consequenily it did not 'clearly appear how
the deceased came by his death ;—the body has
been interred in a proper u►anner.—There seems
to be but little doubt that the wretched man was
driven by povefty and distress to commit suicide,
and as he appeared to be at least 40 years of age;
he has prob.bly left a wife and family to lament
hi: wretched fate.—(Plymouth Telegraph, Satur-
day, Oct: 18 )

MR. HAWTHORNE.-The Guild of Merchants
have unanimously voted the freedom of their Guifti
to Mr. HAWTHORNE, as a distingusbed of
their approbation of his conduct-as Chief Com-
missioner of Excise. kiestimonial of tllis kin',
coming front so respectable a body, and so well
merited by the individual, cannot fail to be highly
gratifying to this Gentlenian, whose private and
public worth have long since been known and.
justly appreciated by the Citizens of Dublin, to
whom, upon every occasion, where his services
were required, he has. invariably evinced the
greatest courtesy and attention.—(Dublin Jour-
nal, Oct. 16.) _ _ .

The following is an extract from a letter writ-
ten
,by Colonel OUSELY, dated Pernambuco, 29th
July, 1817 :—" The brig Calliope, from Messina
for Pernambuco,• R. GooDwis, Master, ran
aground' yesterday evening, near the Bar, and was
lost. Fortunately, however, the crew and greater
part of the cargo were saved, by the indefatiga-
ble exertions of the Governor, who instantly put
the troops tioder.arms, and repaired in person to
the spot, where he assisted trom'five o'clock in
the evening till twelve at night, often up to his
chin in water, and in danger of being dashed to
pieces by the surf. When pressed ;to quit his
most fatiguing road periitittus situation, No,' said
the Captain-Generid, Britons never failed their
friends in the breach; and there is some differ-
ence hetween wading in bhmd and Salt water.---;
Can I forget Salamanca, Roderigo, Badaj•iy,

Englishman in his distress ' hLis reply
