EFFIXT OF TOO MANY MATRIMONIAL ENOAGEMRNTS, —A young man, named Archibald Campbell, committed suicide on Monday, the sth ultimo, at Ardtoune, near Sunessan, Island of Mull, by hanging himself in his own barn. Deceased was on the point of getting married to a young woman from the island of Tine. He sent to Tiree for her in order to make arrangements for the marriage, and everything was going on smoothly up to the 4th ultimo, when a stop was put to the proclamation of the banns in the church of liunessan by two fair damsels belonging to the neighbourhood, to whom the deceased gave matrimonial promises on some former occasions. This, therefore, must have been the motive which led him to commit the rash act of putting an end to his mortal career.—West Highland Journal. A Musical, D.D.—Old Aubery tell an anecdote o Dr. Richard Corbett, afterwards Bishop of Norwith : "After he was D.D. he sang ballads at the Crosi of Abingdon. On a market day he and some of his comrades were at the tavern by the Cross, and a balladsinger complained that he had no custom ; he could not put off his ballad.l. The jolly doctor put off his gown and pot on the ballad-ginger's leather jacket; and, being a handsome man, and having a ram full voice, he presently had a great audience and vended a large number of ballads."
