 7he Salem gEuraer.-Richard Crown inshield, charged with the murder of Mr. White, hanged himself on Tuesday last, in bis cell. The Boston newspa- pers contain different notices of this event. The following is one, from the correspondent oif the Boston Courier.
 SALEM, June ID.
 Richard Crowninshield, Jr., hanged himself in his cell this afternoon. Mr. Brown, the gaoler, at about quarter after 7 clock, had occasion to % to the cell to speak to him, and, on looking in. to find him, saw him hanging. He im- pediateiy opened the door,and with the dssistance of the turnkey, cut him down, and with all possible speed, called seye- raj physicians:-they opened a vein and he bled freely; but all their efforts to revive him were intellectual. A Cor oner's Inquest was then held.
 To accomplish his purpose he tied together three kandkerchiels: after ty- ing the knot about his neck, and fasten- ing the other end firmly to the grate, lie get into q chair, then tied his hands be- hind bis back and then leaped of. His feet just touched the floor.
 In his cell were found two letters, Just written, one to his father, the other to his brother George, hiddins then, adleu. In the letter to the latter, he mofalizes on the shorhaess of the eareer qf vtce, however prosperous it may at first appear, and warns all young people to be admonished by his fate, 6c. ne was 26 years of age.
 Since the humanity of our laws re- qulres that the gaolers should enforce no other restraints or prisoners kept for triai than such as are necessary for sofe e1tstody, it is obviously in the power of the prisoners to destroy their own lives. After conviction only it is deemed ha- mane to put them in irons, and even then they eontrive means of suicide.
 It is very probable that the recent discovery of a quantity of stolen goods at Danvers, which had just been made known to him, convinced him that proofs were thickening of the depravity of bis life, and impelled him to attempt to es- cape from the overwhelming disgrace and shame.
 The Patriot mentions that the brother of this desperately wicked man sswas confined in the adjoining cell, and they frequently talked to each other, lover heard, of course, by the guard,) in the dialect common to persons off this stamp. The guard, 20 minutes before Richard was found dead, understood George to ask him when he was going, to which he was understood to reply, he was about to go. Writing materials had been at his disposal; but its not known whether or not he left any disclosures.
 1t is said that some time since their father enquired if they wished new suit ofclothes, before the trial; George signified that he did, and was measured i: but Richard declined. tis supposed that this is the result of q deep laid plan On his part; and that as he was origin ally the only one indicted as principal ln the murder, new indictment must be made, in which the late disclosures would duplicate Jos. K. Knapp, Jr. as principal, and prevent his being taken l as State's evidence, and at the same time give George chance of escape. :, 7he Carreucy.-The Secretary ofthe I Treasury, in obedience to q resolution
