At Berwick, Mr. T. S. Smith. He put 
an end to his wretched life, by cutting his 
throat in the bed-room. The deceased was 
originally a poor carpenter, but, by the death 
of an uncle, became possessed of property to 
the amount of 10001. a year; which, by sav- 
ing and scraping, he increased to 15001. a 
year. For several years, however, he was so 
strongly impressed with the idea that he 
should come to poverty, and die a beggar, 
that life became burthensome to him, and he 
resolved on self destruction; and, about a 
month ago, he attempted it by means of lau- 
danum ; but unwilling to expend the money 
for the necessary quantity, he escaped the in- 
tended effect.

’The annual meeting of the Workington 
Hunt and Agricultural Seciety commenced on 
Tuesday, Sept. 29, and continued during the 
‘remainder of the week.—Unfortunately, the 
weather, with the exception of one day, was 
remarkably unfavourable to the pursuits as 
well of the farmer as the sportsman 3 the corn- 
pany however was much more numerous than 
onany former occasion. Almost all the prin- 
cipal families of this, amd some of the 
adjacent counties, were present. Sir John 
Sinclair, President of the Board of Agricul- 
ture, the Rev. Mr. St. Priest, the secretary, 
with a great number of distinguished agricul- 
turists and amateurs from different parts of 
the kingdom, honoured the meeting with 
their presence, and were pleased to express 
their highest approbation, both of the regula- 
tions and arrangements of the society, and 
the spirited and extensive plans of Mr. Cur- 
wen, the president. The different specimens 
of stock exhibited, were said by judges, most 
of them to be excellent of their kinds. The 
beauty of Mr. Sitwell’s bull and sheep; (both 
Leicestershire and South Down) in particular, 
attracted the notice and admiration of all be- 
holders.
