MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.--Friday mornilt( the fa.
mily of Mr. WiMatti-Linton, an old and respectable
inhabitant of Usbridie; were thrown into the great-
ebt distress by the melancholy termination of his ex-
istence •by his own hand. The deceased retired to
bed at his usual hour on Thursday night, mad at thit
time nothing extraordinary appeared in his behavioer.
Not coming down to his breakfast at the time he ge.
nerally made his appearance on Friday morning,
some of the family went up to call him, and foiled
him in a most dreadful condition, perfectly.kenseless,
and covered with blood issuing from a wound he had
indicted in his side with a knife, which lay near him
'on the bed. Surgeons were called in, but they could
not render him any assistance ; they discovered that
the knife had been forced so violently into the side
of the deceased, that the heart was deeply incised
and the membranes wounded. The deceased had not
been in good health for some time. About six months
ago he cut his throat in a dongerous.menner, led
would have bled to death had not a sergeon•btem
near at hand, who sewed up the wound immediately,
and in a short time he recovered from its effects.
. A fellow of respectable appearance, on Friday
night last, entered the coffee-room of the George Inn,
Beraigh, and, with di air of consequence, tailed for
some rum and water, with which the waiter supplied
him; he then called for the Newspaper, and remain-
ed for a length of time reading in one of the boles,
till he found an opportunity, when he took a great
cost off a clothes-peg behind the door, and left the
place. A Gentleman, in the coffemroom at the
time, observing the transaction, immediately inform-
ed the waiter, who followed him, and overtook him
in the street with the coat •on. A watchman was
called, and the fellow was taken to the watrh..house.
