JOHN. T. WARREN. " Inspecting Commander. " To the Comptroller-General."  On Saturday last a gentleman from Glasgow, commercial agent, of the name of Hay, and who put up .; the Harrow Inn, having staid out later than usual, an' there being something in his appearance which excited the suspicions of the landlord, information was given to 4116 watchmen, when they proceeded to their stations to endea' your to discover him. Shortly after, the watchman in the, meadows observed a great quantity of blood near the heat' of the Middle-walk, and drops along the road. These 'lei followed, until at the opening leading into the west-sib George-square, he found the unfortunate man suspended 11 the neck with his handkerchief tied to the latch of a.bobei:r door in the lane. He appeared to be so determined on `e destruction, that his feet went below him, and his knees. °I; the ground. It appeared from the quantity of blood net 1113 first 'served by the watchman, that the unfortolaw gentleman had first gone behind one of the trees ;in the walk, and there cut his throat with a penknife, which Os afterwards found upon his person ; he had then walked 00 few yards, after which he made a second incision ; but fee' ing neither of these might terminate fatally, he walked t° the lane, where he completed his suicide as we have e'r scribed. When found there were several pound notes iet his pockets, with a watch and other articles. It is said thet embarrassed circumstances were the cause of this rash ae —Edinburgh Courant. The coal-works in Ayrshire, especially those situated t in the vicinity of the sea-ports on the coast, are at presePor in a state of great activity. The high price and searei,tifor Glasgow coal has created an unprecedented denaana for Ayrshire coal, and great quantities of it are now taken 10 markets which were formerly supplied by the coal-04'1i, around this city. Vessels from the Highlands, and I;°A the Lochs Gair, Long, Holy, and Fine, used to load Awn-0 the Broomielaw as return cargoes, but these vessels arc I'ls, forced to go down in ballast, and get the coal at Salteg`pa or any of the other ports, as the Ayrshire coal is plentliavio cheaper than at Glasgow. Owing to the great deananu learn, that although the west coast coal is still Lowe price than at our coal-works, the price per ton is daft,' to may say, on the advance. It is difficult to get vesselso load coals at the ports in Ayrshire, and the conseque,eoj. have been, that all hands engaged, either in mining, le, to ing, or sailing, connected with the coal trade have fPbbis advance of wages, and still the cost of this indispeatot article is far less when exported from Ayrshire than 'Ol the Glasgow district. This has opened up a new chapvf for the disposal of the Ayrshire coal, that will matill'illtbe hurt the Glasgow coal-merchants at a future time, is ipwest-coast coal has been found to be equal, and, in mareY,,otr stances, superior to Glasgow coal, and has become a T'njo, rite in many places on the coast, as well as the flielP3' —Glasgow Evening Post of Saturday, tot By recent arrivals from Hobart Town it appears et the Abel Gower merchant ship was in imminent a ,ito, from the same rocks of coral, in d'Encastreaux Sti.;l;ip. which proved so fatal to the George the Third convict 'beg Fortunately it was daylight, or every soul must have oger lost.
