SINGULAR CASE OF sUIcIDE.-The most singular
case of suicide ever recorded. occurred in the
borough of Manchester, ON Sunday. An old man
named David Watt, better known as DADDY"
Watt, sixty five years Of age, lived in little
brick house, alone. lie had separated himself
from his family. and had conceived some singular
notions about having his house torn down, leading
his neighbors to suppose be was insane. On Sunday
ne failed to make his appearance, and a neighbor
going to the house and looking ill., found him lying
on the floor, which was covered with blood The
door was opened aud several gasnes were found in
bis throat while small penk nifs lay beside him,
with blade two incbes long. The coroner was
called in, held an inquest Oh the body, and finding
four deep cuts on the left side Of his throat and
one on the right, the jury returned verdict OF
suicide by cutting his throat
But the strangest part of the story remains to
be told. On Monday morning. when the body was
being prepared for burial, nail was found driven
through his skull on the top of his heal. 1t re
auired a pair of forceps aud some exertiop ct
strength to extract it, when it was found to te a
four-pepny lathng nail, an inch and quarter
long. The Coroner was informed of the fact and
again visited the place, ia company with DR.. Dick
son, who made thorough examination OF the
| head He found that the pail had been driven
through as far as the head would permit, but had
passed between the hemispheres Of the brain, in
| fictng no injury. The scalp showed four iacera-
ii ms, " here Intellectual attempts Lad been made
to drive the nail. On the wall several mark
corresponding with the head of the nail sho wing,
beyond doubt, that he had held the nail with HIS
| fingers and driven it through by repeated blows
against the wall. Failing in effecting his obiec,
BY this means. he had resorted the knife This
| is the most remark able Of suicide that has
ever come within our knowledge, and shows an
amount of nerve and deter mination in the sell
murderer seldom equsled.-FtHs5ury Post, Sd.

Cardenas one afternoon, having lost some
two hundred negroes on the sOysge, and
the same evening two Spaniards came on
board aud made arrangements for landing
the survivors, which was effected early the
next morning by two boats from the shore.
The three Portuguese, who seem TO have
been at the head Of the enterprise, and the
captain went on shore, having first paid of
the hands, leaving the vessel in charge Of
the first mate, one Macomber, who told the
crew she was cleared for New Orleans
They went to sea at once, but the next day
the mate told the men that he had no pa
pers, and asked what they thought it was
best to do They left it TO him. He then
sailed for Long Island, which they made 10
ten days, and when or Montauk Point ths
ship was scuttled, and after dark was sunk
about five miles from the shore. Seven Of
the crew-ive Portuguese, an Italian, and
q Spaniard-landed at Montauk Point.
The mate and the rest appear to have land
ed elsewhere upou the coast.
The mate, who appears to be New
Bedford man, Is under arrest and likely TO
suffer the penalty Of his crime, and it d to
be hoped that the light thrown on this trans
action may lead to the punishment Of other
parties concerned in it. II the Governor
General Of Cuba had the least wish TO do it,
he would have no difficulty in finding the
negroes landed but for them wesuppose he
has already pocketed his doubloon head,
and will give himself no farther trouble.

PROM The New YORK. Tribune, ..
The AFFIDAVIT OF one of the sailors OF the
lIaidec, the vessel lately sunk of Nontauk
Point, throws considerable light on the way
in which the slave trade ia carried on. This
vessel sailed from New York in February
last, commanded by Captain Whitney,
and with the reputed owner, one BbutelIe,
Il Portuguese, bound tor Gibraltar. to which
port she seems 10 have carried q cargo.
She had besides the captain and mate. cook
and steward. twelve men before the mast.
and six passengers, who seem, however 10
have had nothing 10 do with the enterprise
as they left the ship a, her first port. From
Gibraltar she procgcciei to CadIz, there took
in rroyisious and sailed uom,nally fer -.
Mlchaels. in the Azores, but really for the
west coast OF Africa, having first taken on
board two Portuguese, named Thomas and
Vera, who seem to have been partners. or
interested IN the voyage. Arriving on the
coast, Viera let, the ship with letters. Az
ter three hours, Vera sent word for her 70
pyocvi 10 s,a, which she did. cruising
about tor forty DAYS, during which time she
landed at an sand and took 10 water. She
then returned 20 Der pos, OF the coasi. and
