SUICIDE.  Til E following are the particulars of a melancholy event which took place at the Gun Tavern on Wednesday night or Thursday morning. A Gen_ tleman whose name is Camp, from Northampton, where he has left a wife and five children, arrived in a post chaise at the New Inn, in this place, at eight P. M. on Tuesday. He appeared very unw.lll, and retired to bed soon after his arrival. In the morning, on leaving his room, he seemed much w"rse, and betrayed evident symptoms of mental derangement. Mrs. Henwood, the mistress of the house, on beholding his unhappy state, humanev ventured-to interrogate him regarding the cause of his illness, and to recommend immediate medical advice. To which he replied, gazing wildly about him, that it was a nervous affea:tion under- which he laboured, and which had afflided him seven days. To many other questions that were put to him,' he answered so incoherently, that they confirmed the suspicions entertained of his faculties being de.. ranged. Od being asked if there was any friend of his in Brighton that he would wish to sec, he Mentioned the name of Mighel, a grocer, in Nqrth.street, who was instantly sent for. In the interim he appeared in a most agonizing paroxysm of men_ tal distress, beating his forehead with his hands, and frequently exclaiming, " Oh, my poor children, I shall never behold them any more !"—On the M.'. rival of Mr. Mighel, he immediately recognized him, became more composed, and at length told him that he came to (Brighton for the purpose' emb'irking in one of the Packets for France.: die soon after, with Mr. Mighel, left the New and in the course of the day had his baggage taken to the Custom-House, that it Might be•inVeaq and shipped in the .regular way. In the evening, t:ie weather proving tempestuous,:the Packet which was expefted to sail, deeming it rather imprOent to venture out to sea in an increasing gale of wind, put into Shoreham 'harbour; and Mr: Mighel sae._ companied his disordered friend. to' the Gunlit'.. vern, being nearer to the Water's edge than tlie Inn he left in the morning, where, after,SeeiniiiiS room, Mr. C. took some toasted cheese affiliate-ail, and drank some brandy and water ; and anMi. Mighel's leaving him, he called the chambermaid, and retired to his bedroom. In the mOritiing, about 'eleven o'clock, the landlord, who had noticed the dis Ordered state of his .guest the , night before, began to be alarmed at hii non-appearance, and ordered the chambermaid to rap at .the bed-room door, which she did to no effect ; 'andafterrepeated attempts of the same kind proving fruitlesi, they at last gained admission by demolishing the dooi, and beheld Mr. C. hanging' by his neckcloth,, from the lath over the foot of the bed; quite dead ; and "from the stiffness of the joints, had probably been so for many-hours.
